LOCATION:
CMP Marksmanship Center (North) - a new facility in Camp Perry, OH There will be 80 electronic target firing points. Visitors and spectators are welcome on the range.
ELIGIBILITY:
All participants must qualify as outlined in the state guide to participate at the national level. Seniors who have just graduated are eligible until August 31 of the year they complete high school. Shooters may not participate in both the Sporter and Precision competitions.
RULES:
The 2008-2010 National Standard Three-Position Air Rifle Rules, 7th Edition will govern.
QUALIFYING:
Individuals:
All shooters must fire in a state qualifying competition. State Contacts will notify qualifiers to Nationals and provide the necessary information to those selected. Individuals meeting the minimum automatic qualifying scores (525 Sporter, 580 Precision) in their state championships/qualifying matches and who are not identified as members of teams attending Nationals are also invited. Individuals may not participate at Nationals in both sporter and precision events. A parent or guardian must accompany individuals under age 18. USA Shooting/CMP will not accept the responsibility for minors traveling alone!
Team:
Each state may send one, four-person team for each of the four team categories: Sporter Scholastic, Sporter Club, Precision Scholastic, and Precision Club. States are required to maintain club or scholastic team (same school) integrity. The same team may not participate in both events. Teams must comply with the “School Age Team” rule (3.2) in the National Standard Rules. If the highest scoring team in the state qualifier cannot attend, the next placing team may represent the state. State Coordinators should continue to pass invitations down their lists immediately upon being notified that a higher ranked team has declined. Teams that lose a member for some reason may replace that person with another member of the same club or school, even if the replacement did not fire in the qualifying match. Teams may also be able to bring along up to two alternates who may compete as individuals, but will not count for team score.
New for 2009, Sporter Teams over 2060 and Precision Teams over 2280 are automatically invited to Nationals, even if they are not first in their home state.
COACH/TEAM LEADER::
Each state team must have a designated coach who will be responsible for their team(s). This person will be responsible for arranging travel for the teams and for team conduct while at the championship.
COURSE OF FIRE:
Competitors will shoot two courses of 3x20. One course will be fired each day with an Olympic style final for the top eight individuals immediately following the second course of fire.
Sporter & Precision Air Rifle – 3x20 (20 prone, 20 standing, 20 kneeling)
Finals – the top eight individual shooters in the Sporter and Precision aggregates will fire a 10 shot “Olympic Final”. Team totals will be based on the total of two-day aggregate 3x20 scores (no finals). The individual National Junior Championship will be based on the total of the two 3x20 scores plus the 10 shot final. See National Standard Rule 10.0.
COACHING:
Sporter:
Coaching assistance on the firing line will be allowed during preparation period and sighting shots only. After sighting shots are complete, shooters may not return to the sighting target and may not receive any further coaching.
Precision:
No coaching assistance on the firing line will be allowed.
SQUADDING:
If possible, all members of a team will be squadded on the same relay (except where team members are sharing equipment). This will allow teams to plan other activities before or after shooting.
