Who must verify a missed sighting shot's location?

• A. The shooter alone determines whether a miss was in the sighting bull.
• B. A range official must verify that a missed sighting shot is not in the sighting bull.
• C. Verification is automatic by built in sensors.
• D. No verification is required after a missed sighting shot.

Answer: (B)

Verification of a missed sighting shot is done by a range official. This impartial check makes sure the shot really didn’t land in the sighting bull, which keeps scoring fair and consistent for everyone. Relying on the shooter to decide could lead to bias or mistakes, especially since the sighting bull is a defined, specific area and can be easy to misjudge. Automatic sensors aren’t guaranteed in every setup, so the official check is the reliable standard practice.
