ASRA postal competition

The following are the guidelines for a new competition for Alberta shooters. It is designed for all levels of competitors.
Please pass on to other Alberta shooters who aren’t currently a member of ASRA.
We look forward to your registration and participation.
Please contact Wynn Payne (wynn.paynegmail.com) with any questions.

.22 rifle prone
Supported air
Supported .22.

Supported means any type of support. (.22 prone with a sling is defined as supported.)
Matches are 30 shots. If someone is shooting a 60 shot match the respective scores are to use the first 30 shots and then the second 30 as separate totals, using whichever is better as their score to submit.
Scoring will be whole numbers ie not decimal
Air rifle is 10m on an ISSF target
.22 is at any distance, as long as the target is scaled proportionately to Shooting Federation of Canada (SFC) standards.
Unsupported .22 can be a sporting rifle target properly scaled to the distance shot. Match rifle is an ISSF target and sporting rifle a sporting rifle target
The scores must be calculated and verified by someone at the location of the shooting prior to submission.
Athletes will submit their one best score for the month on or before the 3rd of the following month. ie an entry arriving on the 3rd of the following month is not eligible.

The second is a prize of $25, for each category, for the most improved from Nov to April. Exact ties will split the amounts. (Prize donated by Billi Jo McIlroy)
The third set of prizes is for ASRA medals for the best total cumulative score of any 4 of the monthly submissions in a particular category. (six potential months to choose from)
