IBS score rules

[Joe Pellegrene]

Could somebody please show me the written procedures for a crossfire in an IBS score match I can't seem to find them?

Also, I would like to know how an errant shot is handled. For example if I was attempting to shoot my number 3 target and had a slam fire hit my number 5 target. I'm not sure how many points would be deducted or what the procedure is.

Is this the current rule?
VI.F.6 “Any shot that touches the sighter bounding box on a 100, 200 or 300 yard/meter score target are to be counted as a sighter shot.”

Thanks in advance

Hey Joe,

It is in the rulebook under score shooting then, scoring. In the event of a crossfire, the shooter takes the score shot on the other target, plus the loss of another point. So if you shot a 9 on your next door neighbors target, you would get an 8. You cannot shoot said target on your own paper as that is construed as trying to cover up the crossfire.

The passage you quoted at the end of the post refers only to the sighter. ANY shot that hits the confines of the sighter box IS a sighter.

One other rule that can come up regards the first shot on the paper. If for whatever reason, your first shot on paper lands on one of the records and you stand to lose points, you can point it out to the Range officer, and the shot will not be counted. You MUST alert the Range officer, and he must confirm it, before you fire a second shot on your target.

As far as the "errant" shot goes, if it is on the record, and is not the first shot, then that is what you get. Aside from crossfires, and the first shot, there are no "mulligans".

In other words, if that slam fire hit the #5 target at the 6 ring, then you get a 6.

As for crossfires, if stationary backers are not up, then you are at the mercy of someones good graces. If the backers are up, you can get a reasonable idea where the shot originated.........jackie

You got just about everything 100% correct except after cross firing you should not fire on your own target as it might be construed as trying to conceal a cross fire.

So it's not an automatic DNQ? Who has the final say on that...Refs or the RO?

The rule is there as

a way to deal w/ a shooter who tries to hide a cross-fire. If the shooter owns up to the cross-fire, there is no DQ. The point penalty still is charged, 1 point reduction per crossfire in IBS.

Joe,
This is the rule
3) When an identifiable crossfire occurs on another competitor's target, the low value or identifiable shot
shall be transferred to the offender's target and a penalty of one point deducted. A competitor who
crossfires must not fire on his or her own record bull. To do so may result in disqualification; if it is
determined that this was an attempt to conceal a crossfire.

Hal ,
if a competitor has admitted he crossfired, then he stupidly also fires on his own target it can hardly be construed as attempting to conceal a crossfire he has already admitted to. "If it is determined" is the key wording here.

I believe the Referees normally are the only person to disqualify a contestant at an event, The Range Officer under certain circumstances primarily safety related could remove a person and ban him from returning to the firing line essentially disqualifying him. If a Range Officer can confirm a contestant is crossfiring on another competitors target he would notify the referees of the pertinent data for them to make the appropriate decision. If a person admits to all crossfired shots the referees need not even be bothered it is a scoring matter only. Now if this person also fired on his own target the referees would need to be involved to rule on if said competitor was trying to conceal said crossfire. If he did not admit but the backers indicate he did it and he fired on his own target as well this would likely be time for disqualification to occur.
