    USPSA Soft Cover

    4.1.4.2 Cover provided merely to obscure targets is considered soft cover. Shots which have passed through soft cover and which strike a scoring target will score. Shots that have passed through soft cover before hitting a no-shoot will be penalized. All scoring zones on targets hidden by soft cover must be left wholly intact. Targets obscured by soft cover must either be visible through the soft cover or a portion of the affected target(s) must be visible from around or over the soft cover.
    Is a plastic barrel considered soft cover? If I clip a barrel does the hit still count?

    9.1.6 Unless specifically described as “soft cover” (see Rule 4.1.4.2) in the written stage briefing, all props, walls, barriers, vision screens and other obstacles are deemed to be impenetrable “hard cover.”
    I have never seen a barrel designated as soft cover. Usually it is something like burlap sheets, or t-shirts, or similar. I don't see it too often at matches, but soft cover does show up occasionally. That said, for the hit to not count, it has to strike wholly within the hard over and continue on to strike the target behind it (9.1.6.1). If the hit in the hard cover only partially hits the hard cover, the hit on the target will count.
