I inquired with NRA regarding the classification breakdowns. I want to recognize Shelly, the Tournament Operations Dept. Manager. This was an odd request that was handled wonderfully!
Thanks Shelly!
Now, this is for information (bragging rights?) only. It is not intended as a prompt for changing the classification system.
At Long Range (800-1000 yards), there are 1644 classified shooters. Currently, there are 108 recorded High Masters and 223 Masters.
At Mid Range (300, 500, and 600 yards), there are 2520 classified shooters. 619 HM and 459 Masters.
If we assume that all long-range shooters also hold MR classifications, there are 511 MR High Masters that do not hold HM at long range. If we wander down that path a little farther and assume that all LR High Masters and Masters will hold HM at MR, there are still are 288 MR HM's that either don't have a LR classification -OR- hold Expert or below at LR (I was one of those until last year).
I hope you find this information useful.
