Decimal Scoring

Decimal Scoring is when every shot is scored with tenth ring precision. Traditional integer scoring is when shots values are simply 10, 9, 8, etc. Instead with decimal scoring shooters may receive score values such as 10.4, 9.9, or 8.3. Possible shot values range from a maximum of 10.9 down to 1.0, in 0.1 increments. In a ten shot series, the highest possible value is 109.0.
