Hit factor calculator
Enter your A, C and D hits, your penalties and your time, and this returns the points, the net score after penalties, and the hit factor — scored major or minor. Enter a stage and this works all four numbers out — and shows what the same run would have scored with every hit an A.
Point values come from USPSA’s rulebook, and change with power factor: an A is five points either way, but C and D are worth more shooting major than minor. (What the number means: hit factor, explained.)
Your calculator entries are remembered only in your own browser — no number you enter into these calculators is ever sent anywhere. A “Copy a link” button puts your entered numbers in the link itself, which is what makes a result shareable. Two things at the foot of this page DO send what you put in them, because that is what they are for: the “Spot a mistake?” box sends your message and, if you add one, your email address; the launch-list box sends your email address. What happens to either is on the privacy page.
Hit factor
USPSA scoring. Pick power factor, then enter your hits and time. (What the number means: hit factor, explained.)
A stage score can't go below zero — heavy penalties floor the hit factor at 0, same as the scoring system.
One stage, the way your log shows it. A season of these tells you which skill costs you the most points.
FirearmLog derives the hit factor on every stage you log — a season of them shows which skill costs you points. Log yours in the web app →
What each hit is worth
Hit factor is your total points divided by your time, in points per second. These are the point values the calculator above uses. The table lists each scoring zone with its value at major power factor and at minor; it scrolls sideways on a narrow screen to reach the minor column.
| Scoring zone | Major | Minor |
|---|---|---|
| A | 5 | 5 |
| C | 4 | 3 |
| D | 2 | 1 |
| Miss | −10 | −10 |
| Hit on a no-shoot | −10 | −10 |
| Procedural penalty | −10 | −10 |
An A hit is worth the same either way — power factor only changes what C and D are worth, which is the whole reason it matters.
