Boats, the ISSA targets have the same amount of red as the ASSRA targets--out to the 22 ring for scopes and the 18 ring for irons.  The scoring rings are identical.

Shots on the target are counted, not the number of shots fired.  In scoring, the ISSA has a jig that shows the scoring rings out to the edge of the paper.  So, if the shot is just outside the 15 ring, it scores a 14 and then continues down.

One unique feature of the ISSA target is it has a red line very near the edge of the paper all around.  If the shot is a nipper and does not touch the red line, it does not count as a shot.

The whole target paper is almost the same size as the ASSRA target.

Don't know if you've seen the WSU target, but it is easier to see with iron sights since the red is a deep red and the target is big--25 x 25--with the white being real white, not a buff color.  This contrast helps in SEEING the target.  Steve Garbe and Co. did a great job designing it.  The only downside is when there is a lot of mirage, it is difficult to see the shots in the red.

So I guess we can say ASSRA and ISSA scores are comparable.  There is no target or scoring method advantage to consider.

Only real difference I can see is ISSA shoots 50 iron and 50 scope.  While ASSRA's Hudson match is 100 shots any sight.

The top 5 100 shot offhand scores recently are very close either club which got me to wondering about the rules and what the effect was.

The ISSA target WAS accepted a  by ASSRA a couple years ago--I suspect this latest target will make their scores not acceptable for record targets. Just my opinion---leadball

Martin,

That is a signifigant difference.  Thanks tto all for the input
