Missing in action - one hole.

The shooting is up to me, and I'm comfortable with my level of ability. I'm pretty much ok with letting myself do what I can without getting flustered. But the responsibility of scoring someone else's results kind of got to me. Relying on myself to shoot is one thing, but another shooter relying on me, that's something else. It's the same feelings I have when I'm not confident in my skills yet-- that I'm going too slowly, or am missing something obvious, or my lack of experience is causing a problem for some otherwise innocent competitor. I look forward to getting more comfortable with that part.

I understand the "counting the missed points" technique, and I practice using it. But I have also relied on a calculator at times.

I'm not sure when or how I found it, but this online calculator counts the shots, knows that an X = ten points, tracks the X count, and accumulates a number of targets into an aggregate score. Much easier than a standard calculator. But still not as cool as doing it in your head in 5 seconds.

Shot Value          Points down
X & 10                     0
9                             1
8          equals          2
7                             3
6                             4
5                             5
Example:
That 8 you see...it's not an 8 it's a 2, those 3- 9's that's 3 ones, that 7 it's a 3 So 2+3+3=8 100-8=92 count the X's and 10's and your done. You can score a lot of targets while you're walking up to them. X's and 10's require no math (no points down), just fill them in correctly on the score card.
Train your brain to see points down.
