NRA Highpower Rifle Long Range Classifications

Establishing Classification-A competitor will be classified when
his scores for not less than 120 shots have been reported to the NRA.

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 recent scores for not less that 240 shots (120
     shots for Long Range), fired subsequent to the tournament
     date at which he earned his current classification, have
     been recorded as 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.
(c) A competitor will be reclassified downward only upon a
     request in writing by him to the NRA, and only on the
     basis of at least 320 shots (180 shots for Long Range)
     recorded as prescribed, fired subsequent to the effective
     date of his current classification. It his average on this
     basis so justifies he will be reclassified downward
