Score indicating on long range targets.

Can anyone please point me in the direction of a diagram or website showing how scores are indicated on target boards by the markers at Bisley. The system with the squares pinned to either the side of the target boards or along the bottom of the target board to indicate the score.
I had a lovely diagram showing this system for demonstration purposes but somehow I've either lost it or loaned it out and it hasn't been returned and I can't find it on the NRA website.
Thanks in advance.

That's as good as you are going to get!!!
There is also metric scoring. I'll try to find if you need it.

Thanks John.
The diagram that I had was slightly different and showed pegs midway up the target (to show V bull and possibly a miss ?) If my memory is correct. I must admit that I'm not a regular such ranges as sporting is more of my thing.

The paddle colour shows if it is a v bull or a score of 1, no paddle will indicate a miss. Not seen the paddle put in half way up the target at bisley , but have seen it used in canada.

False memory on my part perhaps, or maybe the system changed many moons ago. Its a long time since I last shot such targets?

Seems to have fallen out of favour on Short Siberia, the frames no longer have the holes for the paddles. "No demand" it is said.

Yes, I think you might be thinking of N.America.
The way the target frames are at Bisley, some markers can't even manage to put the spotting disks in half way up the target, let alone the paddles!
The situation at S.Siberia just proves that TR shooters never go there
If anyone wants that graphic in higher resolution I can probably dig it out later.

And why would they (visit a 200 yard range, when their shortest distance is 300)?
I think the extra positions on the side of the target may pre-date reversible paddles (i.e. the introduction of the orange side). Not sure when that was. the target may pre-date reversible paddles (i.e. the introduction of the orange side). Not sure when that was.
