What is my average and class ?

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;

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.
