Target Presentation and Scoring - As Defined in NSCA Rules

• Two shots are allowed, but not required. A target will be scored dead if broken by either shot.

• Only two shots are allowed. Pairs may be presented as report, following or simultaneous (true pair)
• In simultaneous pairs (true pair) the shooter has the right to shoot either of the targets first. A shooter may shoot twice at the same target. Regardless of the result, the other target will be scored as lost.
• When shooting report or following pairs, the shooter will have the right, to shoot twice at the same target. Regardless of the result, the other target will be scored as lost.

• Should the shooter break both targets with either the first or second shot then the result will be scored as two hits.
• In the event of a no Bird on a simultaneous pair (true pair) or following pair, nothing can be estab­lished. Two good targets must be present to record the score. This will also apply for gun/ammunition malfunctions while shooting pairs.
• In the event of a NO BIRD on the second target of a report pair, the first bird will be established as dead or lost and the shooter will repeat the pair to establish the result of the second target. When repeating the pair, the shooter must make a legitimate attempt at the first target.
• In the event of a .shooter malfunction. on the first bird of a report pair, the first bird will be established as lost and the shooter will repeat the pair to establish the result of the second target. When repeating the pair the shooter must make a legitimate attempt at the first target. The first target has already been established as lost and the result of the second target will be recorded.
