Shooter Classification Question

[ballisticdaddy]

I have been shooting with a local club in order to get my shooter classification. I have three scores for a total of 120 shots shown as recorded on the NRA site but it still shows my classification as "unclassified". From what I have read you need 120 to get classified and 240 to be reclassified so not sure why I still am not able to get classified, is there something that I am missing?

Keep your own score records and enter matches with those scores .NRA will get around to sending you a card.

Are your scores being sent to the NRA? Matches need to be approved, registered or a sanctioned league for classification. League scores don't go in until the end of the the league.

Match Directors also do it as a hobby, sometimes life gets in the way of getting the scores in promptly.

I do keep all my scores in my log book but still trying to my classification.

The NRA has their own schedule for things like this. Keep your records and enter matches accordingly. You can voluntarily enter any class except High Master. They'll catch up eventually.

Scores have been sent directly to the NRA, approved sanctioned matches and are all shown on the NRA web site...go figure!

What's your total so far?

For those matches my total was 1160 and those are all recorded which is why I am asking what the hold up is

I've fired 720 rounds of Full Bore counting the 225 in the Sinclairs last week and I still don't have a Full Bore classification.

You can look up the results reported to the NRA for every match you've ever fired here:

Good shooting!

Were all three matches in the same discipline? For example F-Class has separate classifications for mid-range and long-range, requiring 120 rounds in each for classification.

You can call NRA and select the competitions department. The lady over there is really nice and helpful, she will call back if you leave a message.

As mentioned by others, the updates are run on a schedule so could also be it will be updated in the next run.

I made High Master years ago (with a service rifle) and now they suddenly don't have me as having an XTC classification. HM is good for life, so I'm sending them a copy of my old card. Or I could get off my sorry @$$ and shoot more matches.

Check the NRA Competition website if you haven't already.
Shooter activity & shooter classification. Should tell you whats happening
Mainly, be patient. They have a lot of tournaments to cover, not just highpower

Yes these were all in the same discipline of F-Open LR matches and thank you sir!

IIRC, you lose all classification except Master if you haven't competed in 2 years.

It's 5 years for Master and HM goes forever. Either way, I don't care much. I shoot for the experience, not a card from the NRA. Although the huge cash payouts and the highpower groupies are a pretty sweet perk.....oh, wait.

It is 240 shots for initial classification card for mid-range or long-range F-class.

You can keep your scores before that in a Record Book for Temporary Classification to calculate your temporary classification, otherwise shoot in the Unclassified Master class until you get your official card.

No. Classification for F-Class is the same initially as for getting reclassified (upward) in Highpower prone competition - 120 shots:

19.16 Establishing Classification—A competitor will be classified when his scores for not less than 120 shots have been reported as prescribed, except that classification will not include tournament or league scores until after all scores for the tournament or league concerned have been reported. When his classification is assigned, he will be furnished an official classification card showing the effective date.

19.17 Reclassification—A competitor who has been classified by the NRA will be reclassified as follows:

(a) NRA Headquarters will record all scores which qualify for classification purposes according to Rule 19.4.

(b) A competitor will be considered for reclassification upward when his most recently reported scores, for not less than 240 shots (120 shots for Prone
Classification), fired subsequent to the tournament date at which he earned his current classification, have been recorded prescribed, except that such consideration will not include tournament or league scores until after all scores for the tournament or league competition concerned have been recorded. If his average score so justifies, he will be reclassified upward accordingly.


Ballisticdaddy - don't worry, they will get your card to you. They have historically been shorthanded in the Competition Office, but they will get you the card.

Just an FYI, this is what the NRA rulebook says about it:

"19.9 Obsolete Classifications and Scores—All classifications and scores (including temporary, Rule 19.14) except Master, shall become obsolete if the competitor does not fire in NRA competition within the discipline in which the classification was earned, at least once during three successive calender years. Master classifications and scores shall become obsolete if the competitor does not fire in NRA competition of the appropriate discipline at least once during five consecutive calender years. Lifetime Master Classifications will not become obsolete. "
