14.3 How to Score -
All shots are scored by marking either an “O” for a miss, or an “X” for a hit in the correct spaces on
the scorecard. The scorecard is marked in the same order as the targets are fire
d, i.e., beginning in the first space on the left and progressing to the right until
the stage is complete. Hits out of sequence are scored as misses; for example,
the second shot hitting the third silhouette is a miss. (See Rule 10.7(b)).

10.7 Firing Line Procedures and Commands>>>

(b) Each competitor has a bank of 5 silhouettes at which to fire, one shot
at each, left to right, in order, in the appropriate time. Hits out of
sequence are scored as misses; for example, the second shot hitting
the third silhouette is a miss. When a silhouette is down before a
shot, a shooter will fire on the remaining ones in order, then return
to the left-most target remaining in the bank and fire any unfired
rounds at the remaining silhouette or silhouettes as required. If the
shooter still has shots unfired and no targets rema
in standing on that shooters or another’s bank, a range alibi will
be declared.

I'm not the sharpest tool, but where is it written that both the out of order shot and the next animal (2 animals) are penalized?

Where does it say that you can now go back to a previous target that you missed but which is still standing, presumably to expend your five allowable shots.

"a shooter will fire on the remaining ones in order, then return to the left-most target remaining in the bank and fire any unfired rounds at the remaining silhouette or silhouettes as required.

Right there.

The rule was changed to the wording now and you score the shot fired out of turn a miss with no additional target penalty. IE; the shooter shot #3 for #2; #2 is scored as a miss and he should have continued firing targets to the right and gone back to the left targets if needed to complete 5 shots.
A lot of these rules are ambiguous leading to much confusion. But this is the way it is.

In that case everyone at the match gets a two-shot penalty, the nationals get moved out of New Mexico and PA and we all have to immediately switch to factory rifles in Hunter Rifle - I shouldn't have to tell you this, it is clearly written in the rules.
