I have two questions about paper scoring. How do you score X's on a five spot? On another post on this sight I saw scores such s "293 40-X" and 300 55-X". I witnessed a 596 45X. That was with 60 shots. How can you get more than 30 X in a 300?
the white wring on a NFAA target is 5 points inside the white ring is another circle a little bigger than a quarter that has an X in it. If you shoot the X it's still only 5 points for that arrow there are 60 arrows shot in a match for a total of only 300 points and the number of spots breaks any ties..
JC, you just about confused me good. I never heard of a bull counting as a 5. Tank you for the explaination bull. I now understand. Is this the normal way of scoring? I can't imagine that my area is THAT far behind the rest of the world. Mind ya, I am new to this. I am not trying to affend anybody, I am just trying to learn. Thanks.
I forgot to mention that the 5 spot targets that I have seen have a circle and the X is half that size without a circle around it. That is the reason for the question on how to score the X.
Yes that is the standard NFAA rules for a 300 round. Now I will tell you that folks also shoot a Vegas target and it scores differently than a standard 5 spot. I personally have never shot a Vegas round but there are others who have here.
Sorry about the confusion......:lol: On the NFAA 5 spot each spot is worth 5 pts. 5 pts x 5 spots equals a max of 25 points per end with 5 x's. 12 ends x 25 points equals 300.
Thanks guys. Like I said, I am new to this. What is the NFAA? I guess that on another post I wrote that I was tickled with my 291 14X. That doesn't sound near so good with the 5 bull. I was shooting vegas. :noidea:

Thank you for taking the time to post that bullfiddle. I will have to ask, does "stand astride the shooting line " mean that the back foot can be touching?
Thanks, I'm always trying to learn. dkoutdoors posted a pick under general archery-FOB shoters sound off . Half way down page 1 is a target. How do you determine an X. Do you guess where the circle would be?
Here is a pic of a 5 spot target if you look real close you can see there is a very thin line around the X...
