The NRA medal, which is given annually to each NSW club to shoot off for, has been historically TR, and has no provision for B and C grades, so it has always been contentious. It is shot over three ranges.
Our club now has a predominance of FS shooters and we have shot for this medal with every member shooting FS. With TR and FS all scoring as for TR, and, last shoot with FS handicapped 1 point and 3 centres per range.
This last handicap meant that if a FS shooter shot 60's, then his score would come back to 49-7 per range, which, even with a perfect score, it is virtually impossible to win, as just one TR shooter getting one 50-0 over the three ranges blows all FS out.
There are clubs that have an equitable handicap system and we would appreciate it if you could post it here on the forum for us (and for other clubs who may also be in the same situation and appreciate the information).
Thanking you in anticipation.
Ray.
PS: NSWRA are not prepared to offer a NRA medal for FS,
