Enter the total points scored and the total time taken to determine the hit factor in competitive shooting. The hit factor is a measure of a shooter’s performance.
Hit Factor Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the hit factor:
HF = TP / TT
Variables:
- HF is the hit factor
- TP is the total points scored
- TT is the total time taken (seconds)
To calculate the hit factor, divide the total points scored by the total time taken during a shooting stage.
What is a Hit Factor?
A hit factor is a numerical value used in competitive shooting to score shooters based on their speed and accuracy. It is calculated by dividing the total points scored by the total time taken to complete a stage. The higher the hit factor, the better the performance. It allows for a comparison of shooters who may have different accuracy and speed but ultimately achieve a similar performance level.
How to Calculate Hit Factor?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Hit Factor:
- First, determine the total points scored (TP).
- Next, determine the total time taken (TT) in seconds.
- Use the formula from above = HF = TP / TT.
- Finally, calculate the Hit Factor (HF).
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Total points scored (TP) = 60
Total time taken (TT) = 25 seconds
