The scorers job is to watch the shooter and make sure the shot goes off, then record the actual score.
Not the scorers job to watch mirage, wind flags, waving grass, exploding bullets or other shooters all the while trying to make comparative wind calls for said shooter...Not so much with E-targets but on the manual targets that is how shots get missed...Nothing worse than getting to the end of your string and your scorer says..you got 1-2 shots left.![]()
With regular targets, the vast majority of scorers would have their nose glued to the spotting scope while the shooter was doing his thing. I have seen far too many occurrences of the scorer pulling away from the scope and asking "did you shoot?"
With etargets, we now have scorers eyes glued to the tablet, and even fiddling around looking at other targets.
A scorer should be looking at the shooter to see then the trigger is pulled and the rifle fired. If the shots are not registering on target, it is not difficult to monitor the shooter and also detect a blow up.
