Everyone seems to have forgotten or doesn't know that IBS LONG RANGE Competition is a group discipline with score as secondary. Group takes precedence over score, if you don't have a complete group you don't have a score. In the beginning of 600yd comps we did add a point for each "X" giving the shooter cerdit for centering his group but that was later voted out. There was also discussion and it is in the rules that backers should be used to determine if all shots were on paper in the case of doubles. I don't know of any ranges using backers yet. Sometimes the game is tough, if you don't have a group, you don't have a complete target. Rob Ritchie
