All shots that strike the target after the shooter has taken a position at the firing point are counted toward the score.

• A. False
• B. Not specified
• C. It depends
• D. True

Answer: (D)

The important idea is that scoring in this shooting context is based on hits made while you are in your firing position. Once you’ve taken your position at the firing point and fire toward the target, every shot that actually strikes the target is counted toward your score. It doesn’t matter which shot in the sequence it is, as long as you were properly in position and the hit occurs on the target’s scoring area. Shots that land before you take your position aren’t counted, and misses or hits outside the scoring zones don’t contribute points. So the statement is true because hits made while you’re in position are the ones that are added to your total.
