Want to make sure i got this right. Only one hit on the target not in the center is 5 second penalty.  No hits at all is 5 seconds plus  5 seconds ftn?

If they shot at it and missed both shots +5  FTN

If they don't shoot at it  all +5 FTN and +5 FTE ( failure to engage )

And if hit only once?

One hit inside the center 8" circle = no penalty

Two hits anywhere on the target = no penalty

No hits on the target or only one hit only and its outside the 8" circle (i.e. Failure to Neutralize) = 5 second penalty

As long as you attempted to engage the target (fired a shot towards the target with the intent of hitting that target) you will only get the Failure to Neutralize (FTN) penalty of 5 seconds.

If you ran past a target and forgot to shoot at it you add the Failure to Engage (FTE) penalty of an additional 5 second penalty for a total of 10 penalty seconds for that target.

Are you specifically referring to the 3GN square cardboard targets or any cardboard target?

We use IDPA targets around here.

1 hit in the 0 or 1 is good
2 hits anywhere is good
1 hit NOT in the 0 or 1 is a FTN

Was wondering specifically for the 3 gun nation targets. Was a little confused on the scoring but this has helped clear it up until I heard Daniel Horner say he had a 2.5 second penalty on a target in one of the 3 gun nation pro events on tv. There isn't anything in the rules about a 2.5 second penalty.

The Pro Series has a different set of scoring rules than the club series or most any outlaw match.

The Pro series is made for TV 3 Gun.  It's fast and furious.  There are lots of cool things that you can do in 3 gun that are not entertaining to watch on TV but hella fun to shoot.  Slow shooting, standing in one spot shooting, long range shooting, single gun stages, shotgun loading, etc are not exiting to watch on a TV.  So the rules, scoring, targets and stage design of the Pro Series is built for entertainment.

New rules for club series and regional matches are out and the scoring has changed.

3.3 Penalties will apply as follows:
a. One (1) hit on the target not in the “Center” (8” circle)=2.5 Second Penalty
b. No hits on paper but target was engaged=5 Second Penalty
c. Target (of any sort) was not engaged=5 Second Penalty PLUS THE MISS(ES)
d. Missed steel or clay (static or reactive)=5 Second Penalty
e. Missed steel beyond 40 yards (static or reactive)=10 Second Penalty
f. No Shoot Penalty=5 Second Penalty per hit

Looks more inline with the Pros with the 2.5 and 5 sec.  Also, they upped the penalty on steel beyond 40yds which I like.

So what's the penalty for failing to spin a spinner?  Good hits on both plates but it just don't go over.

At the outlaw matches around here, it is typically a 60 or 90 second penalty.
