View Full Version : USPSA scoring question
I was looking at the results from a local match I competed in this past weekend. I was wondering how the hit factor is determined. On a particular stage I had a hit factor of 1.2 or something like that, even though all shots were inside the A zone of the target. Does the time the stage was completed in factor into it? I'm on my phone right now otherwise I would pull up the rule book.
Overall for the match I finished 8 out of 10 in the single stack division. Since this was only my third match I'm pretty happy with it.
Hit factor is your score (points minus penalties) divided by your time in seconds.
So if you scored two A-zone hits on each of six targets (120 points) with no procedurals, misses, or no-shoots and accomplished all of that in ten seconds:
120 / 10 = 1.2 hit factor
Stage design plays a huge role in what a "good" hit factor should be, which is why they're usually represented in terms of percentage using the top score on the stage (or match) as 100%.

I was sitting here for a second trying to figure out why that 1.2 sounded so low.
120pts in 10 seconds is a 12 HF, not 1.2. :o
I looked again and my hit factor was actually 1.9396. It was a 70 point stage and I shot it in 36.09 seconds. Scoring is still pretty confusing to me.
Alaskapopo was there and thankfully didn't film me. It was ugly.
