Thread: Shooting for "groups"

Greetings All,
The NZDA Wilkinson Postal Shoot has the first five shots scored for both application and group. These are shot prone. I don't know for sure what the original reason was but it does give a little extra credit for consistency. Application is scored with the scoring plate centred on the target marking centre and group is scored on the scoring plate on the group centre. The score for the group is based on which scoring ring covers all of the 5 shots. All 5 shots inside the 5 ring (125mm) gives 25 points. All 5 inside the 4 ring (200mm) 20 points and all inside the 3 ring (275mm) 15 points. Otherwise nothing. The Wilkinson targets have no visible aiming mark or scoring ring.

The picture shows the scoring ring on the target (I think).
Regards Grandpamac.
