HIGH POWER RIFLE

2006 GRAND TOUR SERIES (GTS)

(and RANKINGS) INFORMATION

 

 

The Tour

The annual National Tour Series is a system to not only determine a champion over a series of events, but also compile a rankings listing for shooters of Across the Course High Power Rifle.  This ranking system is then used, when required, to select appropriate teams for representation at any level.

 

Rifle Categories

The National Tour is run over rifle specifications as follows:

 

            - SPEC 1         Service Std/As-Issued with Iron Sights (Vintage)

            - SPEC 2         Service modified/Match with Iron Sights

            - SPEC 3         Match/Field/Sporter/Factory/Hunting Rifle with Iron Sights

            - SPEC 5         Per Spec 1, 2 or 3 but with Optical Sights.

 

Shooters may compete and contest in all rifle specifications.

 

Scoring and Results Computation

All scores used for GTS and Rankings come from AIHPA sanctioned matches as per the official event calendar, running the "National Match Courses”.

 

Only the best 3 NMC results of each shooter, and each spec will be used to compile the aggregate NT and Ranking results.  If a shooter competes in more than 3 rounds, then the best 3 results are used, and all remaining results are dropped.  The more results a shooter has to choose from, the more chances that shooter has of doing well.

 

Annual Rankings

Annual rankings are captured at the end of each shooting calendar year.  These results are equal to the results from the “National Tour” but ranked in order of aggregate results from highest to lowest.  Rankings are “Open” (unclassified).

 

Teams Selection

The “Team” for the given year will be based on the required quantity of top ranked shooters at the end of that year. This system will be used for determining a team to represent the discipline when required.
