Some targets are close enough to see hits some are not. Most people that shoot matches eventually develop the ability to "call their shots", where you have a pretty good idea of where the bullet hit once the shot is broken, even if you can't physically see the hit. The guys that go fast have developed this skill, and it's one of the reasons they are fast. Looking for hits on a target is very slow.

Originally posted by cu455This might come off as a stupid question. How do the shooters know when they hit their target? Are the targets close enough that it is safe to assume you hit the target when you shoot? When I see videos the guys are moving so quick it doesn't seem like they are really paying much notice if they hit their target or not. I am talking three gun style events and paper targets. Steel targets it is pretty easy to tell if you hit it or not.
On some matches have one of your buddies act as a spotter.
One match one of my Ruskis shot the "hostage" target in the head twice (good grouping too) when I yelled for him to adjust aim he shot the bad guy twice also, just in case. He took the penalty for no shoot, but not for misses.SHADAP VARMINT!

That's why it's important to have your rifle/pistol sighted in properly. It also helps when the whoever does the pasting let's you know where you're hitting so you can adjust your aim or scope.

At LIPSA, we will use it to help new shooters, but after your first 2 or 3 matches you should know the routine and shoot the stage on your own.
