Special Events
As Special events and announcements become available they will be posted
here!
The first event of
the day must have Three(3) contestants who compete and complete the first
event, after which any subsequent event of the same day whether it is another
singles, or handicap or doubles event(s)will still require three(3) contestants
will be required to compete in and complete the event(s) for them to be
registered.
Gun Club Executives
should be aware of these Rule Changes by the ATA as they apply to any
registered shoot.
1000 HANDICAP
TARGET REVIEWS
Reviews are
conducted by the ATA after each 1000 handicap targets to determine if a yardage
reduction is required. If a shooter does not have an 89% average after removing
the abnormal low scores a yardage reduction is generally offered, unless the
shooter has been flagged for some other reason. In order to qualify for a
yardage reduction the shooter must have shot at a minimum of 500 singles
targets in the current shooting season. Many shooters did not know that a
minimum number of singles targets is required to obtain a handicap yardage
reduction.
