The Accuracy Test

So with the new addition to the reviews I thought it would be worth explaining in more detail how the score will determined.  The target being used is a Bullseye target as seen below.  The target has a range of numbers on it to indicate scoring, with 10 being the highest score in the middle.  Now most Nerfers know that the trajectory of a foam dart can sometimes be a little unpredictable so high scoring in this test isn't regularly going to happen so I have adapted the scoring system somewhat.

The target is mounted on a piece of custom wood 10 ft from the shooter.  The scores are as follows

0 - Dart doesn't reach intended target
1 - Dart hits the board the target is mounted on
2 - Dart hits the paper on the outer edge
3 - Dart hits paper close to scoring rings
4 - Dart hits first ring
5 - Dart hits second ring
6 - Dart hits third ring
7- Dart hits fourth ring
8 - Dart hits fifth ring
9 - Dart hits sixth ring
10 - Dart hits Bulleyes

A full clip or loaded blaster will be fired down the range using the same darts for each test (unless the blaster doesn't work with Elites).  Each dart is stamped with green ink and when it hits it target a mark is left on the paper.  This mark will then be reproduced in digital form and displayed on the blog.  The score will be added up and divided by the amount of darts fired to give an accuracy result.
