The Steel Bell Target is used no matter what distance or what order you shoot in. 6 or 7 yard.
The target plate has a 3/8 inch (9.525mm) hole in the centre if enough pellet goes down the hole the mechanism is triggered and Bell Rings. The exteral shape of the plate does not matter round or square. Normally 4 inch in size of hardened steel. The scoring rings from the centre are 1 inch, 2 inch and 3 inch. The bull scores 5, the next ring 4, the next ring 3, and the final ring 2. Outside of that the score is ZERO. In the case of split shot. The majority of the mark left by the pellets decides the score and normaly scores the higher amount. In some leagues a pellet going down the hole without leaving a mark scores 5.1. If the Bell does not ring the lower 4 is the score. The bull is around shoulder height from the floor in most leagues this is 5ft but can vary. Normally a shooter will have 5 or 6 scoring shots depending on the competiton and league. The plate is painted with a non drying paint made using Titanium Dioxide mixed with an oil, such as liqiud paraffin or olive oil, some oils can colour the paint. The titanium oxide is the base material for all paints and availble from a Salter if you can find one.
