Reclassification

I have been out of the game for 7-8 years. I was a master class shooter. I thought a competitor could get reclassified once every five years if he has not been shooting. What are the rules now?

Kermit:

I was as Master back in the 60's and then, because of work load, did not shoot an NRA match for over 10 years. I had to start over as Unclassified. At least I was pleased that I shot Expert in my first match back.

IIRC, back in the sixties, the master class was 90%- 100%, They upped the requirement to 95% in the early 70's.

When did the hi-master class start being used?

All classifications and scores (including temporary, Rule 19.14)
except Master, shall become obsolete if the competitor does not fire in NRA competition at least once during 3
successive calendar years. Master classifications and scores shall become obsolete if the competitor does not fire
in NRA competition at least once during 5 successive ca
lendar years. Lifetime Master classifications will not
become obsolete.

The NRA has this rule, but they dont use it, I left bullseye in 2006 because of a shoulder injury, started back in 2011, checked my classification on the NRA look up and i was still classed as a expert. So i just started shooting same as if i never stopped. So before you go to a match, put your Nra nummer in the class look up and see what they have you at. If you want to be reclassified you can request to be lowered.
