What is my average and class ?

Post by Python » Mon Dec 22, 2008 10:23 pm

Hello all;

I have shot 2 practice matches and 2 registered matches since November.

With the 2 2700's now, I should be classified.

What is my average and classification ?

Registered matches:

.22 = 837-23X
CF = 780-15X
.45 = 751-8X

.22 = 842-25X
CF = 817-14X
.45 = 815-19X

My guess is the last 4 guns average is 806.25 = Sharpshooter ?

Am I correct in my calculation or is it something else ?

I cannot find this info anywhere...

Thanks;

Clarence G. Perkins

The answers you've been searching for are in the NRA Conventional Pistol Rulebook. Rules 19.15, and 19.16 show the classification levels and minimum number of shots for establishing a classification level. http://www.nrahq.org/compete/RuleBooks/ ... st-w19.pdf

Also once you get a classification, you can look it up here http://www.nrahq.org/compete/classification.asp Just insert your NRA Member ID number and your classifications will be listed. The NRA will send you new classification cards once the levels have been established.

Here's how I see it based on the info you've posted. Your NRA Shooter Conventional Pistol Classification should be:

Based on your total match scores posted:

NRA Conventional Pistol = Sharpshooter - 89.66% average

Then there's always the caveat of "Indoor Pistol" or "Outdoor Pistol" based on the venue where the match was held.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply Bullseye;

Okay, just to clarify.

If I shoot 24 bullseye 2700 tournaments over the next couple years, then my average is the total average of those 24 tournaments ?

The reason I ask is that I am used to Skeet and we reaverage after each shoot per gun to the last five events and then our year runs from Nov 1 to Oct.31.

So in Bullseye 2700 you just keep averaging away ?

This is how I read it and it makes sense(much better than the Skeet rules).

I also see that if you think that you are are classed too high, that the NRA can reclassify you with the last seven, 2700 shoots.

Please bear with me cause I am still learning : )

Not necessarily, if you're shooting within your classification you won't continue to be averaged. If you shoot enough registered match scores at a higher class level, then they will assign you to that higher level. The NRA doesn't typically reclassify you downwards if you hit a dry spell. You can petition for a lower classification but usually that takes some noteworthy circumstances to get the classification lowered. Or, if your classification goes obsolete by not competing in registered matches for a given number of years.
