Scoring
~IBS Rules: best edge scoring, i.e. touch the center dot scores an X, touch outside of 10-ring scores 10, and so on. Shots outside of the marked target score zero. If there is more than the required number of shots on the target, the lowest score shot is counted. Ties are broken by the X count. Mark your target with your name or initials and check to make sure you do not crossfire on a neighboring target.
