What is the minimum qualifying score to qualify for district event in shotgun?

• A. 2 of 15 targets
• B. No minimum required
• C. 3 of 15 targets
• D. 1 of 15 targets

Answer: (A)

In shotgun district qualification, you’re measured by how many targets you hit in a 15-shot round. The point of a minimum qualifying score is to ensure you’ve demonstrated some practical ability before moving on, not just luck or randomness. The threshold used here is to hit two targets out of fifteen. This shows you have enough basic skill to participate at the district level without requiring a high level of proficiency from the start. If the bar were zero, someone without any actual shooting shown could advance; if it were higher, such as three, it would raise the standard more than necessary for initial qualification. One hit would be too little to indicate reliable skill. So, two hits out of fifteen is the best balance for advancement.
