Went DOWN a classification… What to do?

[fatelvis]

Ok,It’s been a frustrating season, and now I’m waiting for my classification card to show up in the mail. I dropped down a class. Now what? Start drinking? Start practicing for next year? Or take up a new hobby? LOL

 

[jimmymac]

I have no class.

 

[Immike]

How did you drop down a class? That has to be requested

I always assumed that you were supposed to go up in class, not down! I guess it’s par for the course, following today’s economy and the cost of living. LOL

No worries… shoot for fun and friendship!

Still didn't answer the question.
How did yiu drop down a class and getting a new card?
Did you request it

 

[Coyotefurharvester]

You probably still a better shooter/reloader than me. And my friends think I'm a good shot.

 

[clowdis]

Everybody is getting F-class classification cards including people who have never shot F-class, like me. I'm classified high master but have never fired a shot in F-class.

I think the question is: What do you want to do?

 

[kzin]

I'm curious enough to be the third to ask.
The rules don't dictate dropping a class.
Are you confused, kidding, requested it, just lamenting shooting worse or what?

 

[Cochran]

Unless the rules have changed, under NRA classifications it used to be that you could request a down grade in your classification one time.

Did you go from unclassified Master to your first official classification?

edit: Also midrange and long range are separate classifications.

 

[jnyfeler]

Unless you had a layoff before this that was long enough to lose your classification, it sounds like the NRA made a mistake. I guess you could call them and ask what's up.

The NRA classification is like a high-water mark. It can only go up. You have to ask for a reduction in classification and you have to provide a good reason for that. If the NRA was adjusting classifications down depending on your more recent scores, they would forever be sending out new cards to everyone.

Out of curiosity checked my match activity on the NRA website. Shows me shooting a match in July that I never shot and a score I never shot.

 

[Sanora]

The good ole NRA lol. And people wonder why they are moving away from them.
