Rulebook page 76 Scoring - General
Only USRA-X-OUT 300 approved scoring plugs shall be used in scoring of targets. Plugs are available at www.killoughshootingsports.com.
View this rule in the PDF6.1 Scoring Procedure for Factory and Unlimited
The person scoring shall use a target board and place the target to be scored on the target board which shall be parallel to and supported by a table, bench or other flat surface. The target board shall have a hole or holes to allow a USRA-X-OUT 300 scoring plug to be inserted in a bullet hole unimpeded.
An approved X-Out 300 scoring plug and a minimum 10X magnifier are to be used for a bull if a clear visible determination cannot be made by scorer. If a plug and magnifier must be used, the letter (P) must be written on the shot’s square by the scorer. The Scorer should look straight down through the magnifier at the plug to determine score.
The same scoring equipment must be used throughout the Scoring and Protest period.
If a bullet hole touches a line or dot on the target bull, shooter receives the highest point. Inner most ring counts as 10 points, and each succeeding ring counts one point less. Outer most ring counts as 6 points. The dot in the middle of the inner most ring counts 11 points if bullet touches the dot and 12 points if the bullet removes the dot (no red dot visible when plugged) a score of 12 counts as an X.
Any shot not touching a target ring is scored 0 points. If any holes are bigger than a .22 plug the lowest score will be awarded. If more than two bullet holes are larger than a .22 plug, target will be disqualified. Only one shot is allowed in each of the 25 target bulls. If a malfunction should occur during a match and a shot enters any of the empty official bull squares, DO NOT fire another shot into that bull square. You must accept the score for that misplaced shot. A malfunctioning shot that falls into a bull square that has already been shot will be scored as a zero for that bull square. Any shot which falls on a bull square line will be counted as a zero for the bull square containing the majority of the bullet hole. Perfect Score: 300.
View this rule in the PDF6.2 Inadvertent Sighter Shot in Record Target
If a shot intended for a sighter crosses into a record bull square it will be scored as a record shot if it is completely crosses the outside perimeter of the bull squares 1-25. Competitor must notify the rangemaster of the shot and allow it to be examined to provide information to scorer.

View this rule in the PDF6.3 Protests
Any competitor may protest the scoring of their own target only.
Factory Class Only - Questionable guns or rests or other problems that may arise. Any equipment protests are preferred to be protested prior to match start if possible, by reporting the concern to a referee. After targets are scored, targets must be hung in full view of competitors. Targets are not to be handled by competitors until match results are declared official by the Rangemaster. Obvious math errors on any competitors target(s) may be shown to the referees for correction, but NOT removed from where they are hung. After the final relay's targets are hung, the Rangemaster must announce a Protest Period and give competitors a period of time, maximum of 15 minutes, of time to file any scoring protests with a referee. This period can be closed by the rangemaster discretion due to inactivity. If a competitor removes his target before the match results have been declared official by Rangemaster. A Rangemaster may impose a $2 scoring protest fee per bullet hole. A $2
protest fee is MANDATORY at State and Regional Championships and the Nationals. All protests may be filed with a referee until the close of the protest period. The same scoring plug and equipment used by the scorer will be used by the referees for all scoring protests at a match. Referees will decide outcome and their decision is final. The only protest a club can charge a fee for is a scoring protest. If any person involved in a match believes a protest was resolved inappropriately because of a misinterpretation of the rules or an adequate rule does not exist, a formal request may be submitted to the USRA-X-OUT 300 for the purpose of clarifying the rules. Enough information should accompany the request to support an adequate understanding of what happened. The USRA-X-OUT 300 will NOT overturn a decision by the referees but the possibility shall remain open to formulate an agreeable resolution beyond that of rule clarification. Any resolution will be the result of recommendation by a committee of Range-masters not involved in the event and the committee will be comprised of no less than three Rangemasters.
View this rule in the PDF6.4 Target Ties
To break ties based on score, the scorer shall check the number of total X’s. The most X’s wins. If a tie still exists the first target block who gets an X and the other one does not match it wins. If still tied proceed to second, third X etc. until tie is resolved.
View this rule in the PDF6.5 Aggregate Ties
In the event of a tie in overall score (total points & total X’s from all targets), the competitor with the highest First Target Score and X will be the winner. If the first target score is tied, then 2nd Target score and X will be the winner. If 2nd target is tied, then the 3rd Target score and X will be the winner. ETC. If all targets are tied on score (points & X count), the first target FM (First Miss) will determine the winner, if tied then the second target FM will determine the winner, etc. It is the Match
Director’s responsibility to indicate which competitor won the tie. The scoring program is designed to sort ties correctly.
Under no circumstances shall anyone, other than a member of the official Scoring Team, remove a target from its place of viewing before being officially given the targets for review in the protest period. Competitors may not ever place a scoring plug into or a magnifier over any bullet hole or manipulate or attempt to alter any bullet hole on the target in any way. Anyone, other than a scorer or referee, who places a plug into a displayed target or manipulates the bullet hole in any way, shall be DISQUALIFIED from that event and a score of ZERO entered as his total score for the event.

3. Registration should close 15 minutes before the start of the first target at each match. The Rangemaster, at his discretion, may allow late arrivals to register and shoot subsequent targets.
Registration for all State, Regional and National events must close 15 minutes before the start of first target of that event.
4. After the targets are hung and the Range-master determines that the range is safe, the Rangemaster then calls the first relay to the line. Competitors in that relay will approach the line and place their rifles in their rests.
5. Rangemaster will then ask "Ready on the right , Ready on the left?". If ready, Rangemaster will then give the command "The firing line is ready, insert bolts, commence fire".
6. Course of Fire
Unlimited: Course of fire is 25 record shots at 50 yards in 20 minutes, from the bench at one target.
Factory: Course of fire is 25 record shots at 50 yards in 20 minutes, from the bench at one target.
7. If for any reason firing must be stopped, the Rangemaster will call out "Cease fire, unload rifles, remove bolts , and step back from bench". When the cause of ceasefire is corrected, the Range- master will add three (3) minutes to the remaining time and give the command insert bolts and resume fire. When time has expired, the Rangemaster will call out "Cease fire, remove bolts, and remove rifles from bench". If a competitor fires before “commence fire” or after “cease-fire” is called, that shooter will be immediately disqualified and his target will be scored as zero.
8. Time notifications: Awareness of official time during a relay is each competitors responsibility. Unlimited- As a courtesy the The Rangemaster should call out 10 minute, 5 minute, 1 minute, and 30 second warnings.

10. After the command of Ceasefire: Bolts will be removed and/or Flags inserted and the Range-master has determined the range is safe, target crew is to remove shot targets and hand targets to the scorer. Competitors may then hang their next target.
11. If possible the scorer should start scoring targets as soon as the first relay is over. After targets are scored, either scorer or Rangemaster must
hang up all targets in full view of competitors.
12. At the conclusion of scoring all targets the Rangemaster will announce a 10-minute Protest Period.
13. A competitor can protest the scoring on his target or the scoring on another competitor's target. A $2 protest fee per bullet hole is mandatory at all State, Regional and National Championships. The protest fee is optional at regular matches. The protest fee is to be returned to the competitor if the referees rule in the protester's favor.
14. After scored targets from the last relay of each Match are hung, a minimum of ten minutes must be allowed for scoring protests. During this period shooters shall indicate which target(s) are being protested to the referees in a method so directed by the Rangemaster. After the ten minute period the Range-master will declare protest period over. Then, the referees must remove the protested targets to be re-scored.
15. Only referees can remove and re-score protested targets. Targets must not be removed or handled by competitors until match results are declared official. If a competitor removes his target, the referees can disqualify the competitor. The referees are to make rulings on scoring protests with absolutely no input from the Rangemaster, Scorer, or any other competitor. The ONLY input referees are to use when ruling protests, is the current USRA- X-Out 300 Rule Book. The referees are to retreat to a separate area to re-score protested targets or decide upon any protest. Neither the Rangemaster, Scorer, or any other competitors are allowed to be in that area. If a competitor does not comply with the referees instructions to leave the area when requested to do so, the competitor WILL be disqualified by the referees. Protested targets must be re-scored by referees on a flat surface. A referee must step out if the target to be re-scored involves a scoring protest lodged by that referee, or the target to be re-scored is the referee's target. If a referee must step out, the referees are to call in the alternate to re-score that target. If an alternate was not named before the match began, the referees are to appoint an alternate. If another referee must step out on the same target, the referees will appoint another alternate. The referees decisions on scoring protests, any other protests and, if necessary, the appointment of
alternates, will be FINAL.
16. When all scoring protests have been re-scored by the referees, the targets are to be handed to the Range-master or statistician. After the Range-master or statistician recalculates the results, the Range-master will announce third, second, and first place finishers for each class contested. It is the competitor's responsibility to notify the Range-master of mistakes in addition or recording of scores. After the Range-master announces the third, second, and first place finishers for each class contested, competitors will have two minutes to notify the Range-master of mistakes. If a competitor notifies the Range-master that a mistake was made, the Range-master is to correct it. The Range-master then is to once again announce third, second, and first place finishers for each class contested. If the Range-master is not notified within two minutes of any additional mistakes, the Range-master is to declare the match results official.
