Congratulations to Lauren Parsons (Daystate Wolfpack) on shooting a 250 11x in the N50 event thus past weekend at the the Wasatch Airgun Fun shoot. 
250 11x !!!
- Thread starter Airgun Nation
- Start date
Guess I don't know how to score a target. How can this be a 250 score, targets 1,2,4 and 10 look like 9's to me?

Target 10 is a 10? 
That would put the 50 yard competition with a BIGGER 10 ring than standard 100 yard comps.
How to make your guns look good 101: raise your game or lower the bar?

N50 Pellet and Sportsman is scored with a .350 plug allowing the 30 cal folks to play too. This is a common way to make the 177 thru 30cal equivalent. You can read all about it here: https://www.national50.net/target-and-scoring

It ain't rocket science. If you want to compete against the larger caliber you have to use a plug. If you're not willing to compete against a larger caliber you have less people to compete against. It's a great way to level the playing field.

Respectfully, I don’t see how that is a 250 card. I get how scoring with a plug works. But, the N50 website target diagram shows the distance between the 9 and 10 rings is .125 inches. The shots in box 1 and box 10 barely cut the 9 ring. Let’s say they made it approximately .03 inches past the 9 ring. .03 seems fair since it would be 1/4 of the way into the 9 and those 2 shots don’t appear to be 1/4 of the way to the 10. You then have to cover the remaining .095 inches with the plug to touch the 10 ring. But if the hole is .22 and the plug is .35 then plugging the hole gains you .13 inches in total diameter, and that means in any one direction from the center of the hole you only gain half that, or .065 inches. How do you cover the .095 inches necessary when the plug only gains you .065? The math doesn’t seem to add up but maybe I’m missing something? A picture of the plugged hole would help here.

I believe the shots in question would plug 10s. I scored a lot of the targets at this match…but not that particular one. I looked at some cards I had laying around to see if I could find a target with a shot in a similar location for reference.

Good visual, Mike. Since several shooters come in with larger calibers, the only fair way to score is with the large scoring plug. In 25m the scoring is shot with .177 and .22 sub 20 fps and therefore scored with .22 plug. Any plugged target "touching" a line receives the higher score.
Well done, Lauren.
