For those of you that run NRA matches, the information below from Mike Krei, Director NRA Competitive Shooting Division may be helpful.

Reporting Tournament Scores

Although we cannot, at this time, accept score reports electronically, we will continue to accept, by regular mail, computer generated score reports from tournament sponsors in place of SR cards. However, we have been receiving reports that were not usable and had to be returned to the sponsor for correction before scores could be posted for competitors. Type size is important as it must be easily read by our data entry operators. A minimum of a 10 point font must be used. SR cards may still be used.

NRA sanctions over 10,000 tournaments and leagues each year. Because scores are received and posted for each competitor in each tournament or league, it is necessary that the required information on each report be accurate and clear so the score posting can be accomplished in a timely and accurate manner.

Only the following information is required for each competitor (preferable in the order listed). Anything more only slows down the posting process.

• NRA ID Number (if available)

• Complete name and address

• Total record shots fired (do not include sighting shots)

• Total Aggregate score for the tournament or league (NO averages)

• If fired team match, shots fired and score

Copies of result bulletins are NOT acceptable for score posting.

If you have any questions as to what may or may not be acceptable, please contact the NRA Tournament Reporting Department at 703-267-1454 or by email to tournrpts@nrahq.org.

An upcoming Junior match in CT on Decemebr 5th and 6th.

As Fall arrives and we return to our indoor ranges and start our Junior programs again, the Niantic Sportsmen’s Club wants to open our doors to all of you for our traditional Christmas Season Match that was founded some 30-plus years ago by CSRRA Hall of Fame member and Niantic Sportsmen’s Club member David Thompson.  Many of you may remember shooting the match way back when David was the Junior Director; I even think we may be able to dig up some photos of some local coaches on this list who were able to compete in this match.

Since my involvement with Niantic started last season I cannot say enough about the support David has provided to our Juniors–not to mention the three decades of service he has dedicated to our sport locally and nationally.  I have included for you all, in addition to the program, a short description of David’s shooting career as a competitor and teacher. While the man is humble and soft spoken, his bold actions and kind heart are the reasons this match honors him.

It’s not about only past achievement: While preparing for this and other matches for the 2009-2010 indoor season, David, with the help of many of our friends, remounted the target pulleys so they are now Junior-friendly (and even vertically challenged Adult-friendly too)!

So far I have received sponsorship from Hoffman’s Guns, and Eley, as well as private sources for awards and prizes.  We are in the process of finalizing a presentation rifle for the match winner of the Three-Position match and hope to have a similar award for the Sub-Junior Prone match winner.

As we did last year, we will have the kitchen and lounge open for competitors and their friends.  New this year, we are planning to develop a small, one-or-two target, Air Gun Range and a few other challenges for competitors, their parents, and coaches.
