Why would someone not keep score? It is a means of comparison for an individual to track his/her progress, or lack thereof. To further that line of thought, why would anyone go to the effort to shoot targets and not do what they can to improve?
This is not intended to start a debate on the merits of scoring or not scoring, it's just that the concept is just so foreign to me. If one wants to keep up with what percentage they shot it is much easier to allow a squad member to score for them than trying to concentrate on shooting the targets and keeping up with hits/misses yourself. Maybe we're just crude rednecks, but a lot of the fun my shooting buddies and I have are ribbing each other and trying to implant a thought into the other's mind to miss. We are very competitive, but are close friends who would have each other's back whenever needed. |

I am sure that the individual shooters kept score of how they shot. If they had a good day or a not so good of a day. I think this was just a shoot where there were no "winners", no scoreboard etc. Just a fun event without the rules of competition. At least that is how I view it.

I keep a scorecard but I've never shot well enough to turn my card in... but we have fun and try to improve. I simply don't shoot often enough to be especially good at it.
At least the grouse in VT don't point at me and slap their thighs guffawing at me when I miss... or at least I don't think they do... ![]() .

I, personally, get little pleasure from shooting with no scoring if I am paying an entry. I was raised from preteens in competition shooting and it is just "in my blood". I do sometimes shoot sporting clays with a geriatric group with no scoring. However, there is little point in scoring because we shoot everything from .410 to 10 gauge and several of us are in our eighties.

Those types of shoots are a lot of fun. That first picture of your wife with the target off the end of her barrel is great, as is the follow up picture of the shot. The thing that surprised me the most about the participants, of some of the shoots that I have attended, was how much a lot of those people knew about their guns.

I always keep score for myself at skeet , trap , sporting etc . Heck I even keep score at pheasant partridge tower shoots at each peg shots vs hits . I shot skeet/trap to darn long so if I do t keep score and or average it doesn’t feel right .

Everybody ought to do a few things now and then without keeping score; it's relaxing and good for the soul.
