Scoring is based on the outermost ring, rather than the innermost ring?<p>Huh. I&#x27;d have expected it to be based on the center, but I guess the goal is &quot;it must be entirely within this ring to count&quot; rather than just &quot;I hit this ring&quot;.

My USPSA rank is public: I&#x27;m terrible with pistols. I haven&#x27;t shot in competition for over a decade. This is the kind of project that tickles a couple of my nerves and might get me back to the range.

Of all the things one can automate in this whole journey - he chose the ring counting on the shooting range? I don&#x27;t get it.<p>I totally see the programming challenge there, but it&#x27;s in no substantial way making the journey any easier. Any somewhat working human brain can count this quite quickly and then move on with other things.<p>Really, I don&#x27;t get it.
