Is it supposed to be in the blue or the white? If in the blue, no.

Do you like the kid? Does it mean he would win? Tough call but I probably wouldn't, just my unprofessional opinion.
ETA: Actually, now that I look at it a little more, yes I would. The bullet "smudge" is in the blue so I would count it. |
|
Generally, if the bullet hit paper (even just grazed it and left a mark), it counts as a hit.
Just as if you were shooting at a target and your bullet broke the black in the center, it counts as a center hit. |
|
Wow, that's close. Looks like the shot touched the line so yes.
|
|
The lead line touches the blue....it scores as blue. Assuming the white is a 9 and the blue a 10...score is a 10.
|
|
Ones with only tears touching blue, no...
Lead wipes in the blue, yes. |
|
When I was coaching youth shooting, no that would not count.
|
|
I must not understand that there is a national scoring system. Do you score it for a paper hit or for a hit within a defined space on the paper, such as a 10 ring? It obviously hit the paper and it appears the entire bullet hit paper. What is the background, though? Are you just laying it on something to make it easier to see?

The dark mark intrudes into the blue meaning the round touched the blue as it was passing through the paper.
Hit. |
|
The blue behind the hole is just another target and there for contrast.

I was under the impression that the grease ring means a touch and a touch is what counts because you don't wanna be grazed by a bullet. But what do I know? I've never been shot, only shot at.

View Quote It really depends on the rules of the competition. If it's an informal match that kids are shooting, then giving the kid the point would be fine. If it's a more formal competition, then go by the rule book. |

No
ETA: depends on the rules. As a firearms instructor, for us, in the USCG, if it doesn't break the blue, it doesn't count. If your rules say lead mark then count it. Personally, I go by whether it breaks the line. |

Grease ring touches blue. Hit, no question here. This is the correct answer. I personally wouldn't count that, but I'll go with these two guys. They sound like they know what they are talking about. |

That is absolutely touching that blue ring. Unless you're using "worst-edge" scoring, I'd give the point value for the blue ring.
|
|
And WTF do people think you need an overlay for? You can SEE the ring easily touches the blue.

A matter of dealing with whiny assed, gamer, grown men standing around arguing in USPSA. We, therefore, use overlays. Hell I even carried a loupe sometimes, blind bastards. |

Absolutely touching the blue. Not using wadcutters here so I have to look at the lead smear and I bet an overlay centered would not only touch the blue but be into it as well.

Not only does the grease ring touch the blue ( good hit ), the blue portion has been bent inwards by the bullet, but not torn. That's a hit.
