5.
Grade Classification. The first score
fired in a sanctioned match by a shooter in a particular type and category of
competition shall establish a classification for that match only. The shooter’s official recorded
classification shall be one class lower, effective at the next match in which
he competes. The score shall qualify as
one “leg” into the class in which it was fired.
During the following twelve month period, the next score fired which
exceeds the “break point” of his official class in that category, will move the
shooter to the next highest class, effective at the next match in which he
competes.
If a
shooter fires a single score that exceeds the break point for a class that is
two or more classes above the shooters current class, he shall be advanced to
the class immediately below the class of the score fired, effective in that
match. Such score will also be the first
“leg” into the class in which it was fired.
6.
Reclassification to a lower class
will be based on four consecutive recorded scores below the breakpoint of a
shooters current class and shot within a twelve month period.
7.
PA Competitions may include a class
for Juniors. PA members are defined as
Juniors up until the 31st December of the year prior to the year
they attain the age of 21 years.
8.
Matches for .177 Air pistol will be
shot on 1/10th scale of “full size” targets. Targets are to be made from 3mm or equivalent
steel plate. Distances for Air Pistol
are Chickens 10m/yds; Pigs 15m/yds;
9.
Matches for Small Bore 50m/yd will
be shot on 1/5th scale of “full size” targets. Targets are to be made from 6mm or equivalent
steel plate. Target distances are
Chickens 20m/yds; Pigs 30m/yds;
10. Shoot-offs. At all Open matches
(including State and National), first place in all categories must be decided
by shoot-off in the event of tied scores.
A “sudden death” shoot-off format may be used if scores are equal after
the first five shots. All other ties may
be broken by count back unless the scores cannot be counted back in which case
a shoot-off will decide.

measured from the rear surface of the rear sight blade to the highest point of
the front blade or peep. No part of the front sight post or blade (with the
exception of a production hood) and no part of the optical device (with the
exception of a production sun shade) may be located in front of the muzzle of
the barrel.
