Highpower Competitor Classification

Members of the HRA are classified according to the percentage of points possible rather than on actual score. This is because some match scores can have different points total and this way a level playing field can exist for competitors shooting in different competitions.
Temporary Classifications are given to a competitor after one HRA shoot and an official classification will be issued after 120 qualifying shots have been fired. Thereafter, a rolling 120 shots will be used to classify a shooter. A competitor will be re-classified if the score achieved reaches the percentages required to be raised to the next classification. Down grading is only possible in exceptional circumstances and can be granted only once.

Classifications are not maitained for non-HRA Members.

The classification percentages used are the same as for Highpower Rifle as shot in the USA and are based loosely on the NRA(US) Classification System;

HRA Classifications are currently maintained for
Service Rifle and Match Rifle class only.
