Start: The competitor begins standing anywhere behind the fault line, facing the targets, in the surrender position. The pistol is holstered and in the loaded and ready condition. On the start signal, the competitor draws and engages T1, T2, and T3 freestyle in any order by firing two shots into each target. The shooter then performs a non-retention reload and again fires two shots each at targets T1, T2, and T3. The shooter then moves the gun to the weak and using the weak hand only engages targets CP1 and CP2 in any order and then shoots the stop plate. Only two shots are allowed on each paper target during each string. There is no limit to the number of shots that can be made on the poppers or the stop plate. No part of the body may touch the ground on the down-range side of the fault line. Your score should be reported as a "Hit Factor" (see the scoring section below).

Scoring: For this postal match, you must report your score as a hit factor. Your hit factor is your total target score (minus any misses and penalties) divided by your time. Hit factors must be reported to two decimal places. Shots in the "A" zone count 5 points each, "C" zone hits are worth 3 points each, and hits in the "D" zone count one point each. Shots in the non-scoring border area count 0 points. For any shot that misses the target or hits a no-shoot target you must subtract 10 points from you score. If more than two shots are taken at a paper target during each string, then a penalty of 10 points must be subtracted from your score for each extra shot and the hit from the extra shot is not counted for scoring. Hits in the hard cover area (the black areas of the targets) do not count for scoring and are not assessed a penalty. A hit is scored based on the location where the BB entered the target and does not include tears radiating out from the point of impact. If the BB diameter of a hit touches the line between two or more scoring areas or between a non-scoring and scoring area, the higher value should be scored. The maximum target score for this match is 70 (12 "A" zone hits at five points each plus two poppers at five points each). To calculate your hit factor, divide your target score by your time (recorded to the nearest 0.01 s) and report the results to two decimal places. The higher your hit factor, the better your score.
