I quit when i went to college but a few years later I went back abd shot the Leech (iron sight national championship). It's a 20-shot match. I had about 15 shots down with about 13 Vs (the V-ring was 20") when it suddenly occurred to me I might win the match. Well that kind of thinking is no good. The next shot was a 4 and after that i just didn't csre. I fired the rest right in the middle, though.
That was long ago. They quit using the 5V target in 1966. I have shot 1000 yard matches several times over the years, including the Wimbledon, Leech, and Palma at Perry. Leaving soon to shoot at Perry, across the course only. The NRA holds the Wimbledon and Leech at Camp Atterbury now. Yeah it was in 1966. I think they changed to the 10X target right after that. They said the 5V target was too easy. The rings are even tighter for F-class. There have been a lot of changes since then. One is acoustic targets. They place some microphones near the targets. These register the bullet strike position very accurately and transmit that to a laptop. The laptop calculates the score and plots the group. This eliminates "pit duty" and scoring for another relay. Should speed up the matches a lot. With the NRA gradually pulling out of Perry for Camp Atterbury, the CMP has taken over the matches more and more. Good luck at Perry. I don't shoot High Power any more due to arthritis. My club enters a team in the 200-300-600 yard team match plus the rattle battle.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Like you said no more pit duty.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

The CMP uses electronic targets on Viale for the CMP 2400 Championship. After that is over they go back to regular targets for the President’s Hundred and so on. I have my own electronic target for practice, it has saved a lot of time at the range and is great for recording data.

I have shot a few matches with the acoustic targets and really like the immediate feedback. Also, when the other relay is up, it makes being a spectator easier. GD
