While the scoring procedures (where you mark the shot value on the target) have changed a couple of times since this video was made. It gives an excellent lesson in how to work the pits.

More pit advice from Jonathan Ocab:

Now some of this advice doesn't apply at Butner where the targets run by electric motors.

You are welcome to copy it there. But I do not have access to the Known distance forum and I think that people other than instructors can benefit from the post. Perhaps Skill sets of Rifle would be a better place.
