We’ve had some feedback and suggestions from those who came along to last year’s competition, and as a direct result this year will see a change to the scoring system……

Previously, 2 points were awarded for a kill, 1 for a plate and zero for a miss/doughnut on the HFT course, whilst on the FT course it was 1 point for a kill, and zero for a plate or a miss/doughnut – which gave a bit of an advantage for those shooters whose primary discipline was HFT rather than FT, as they had a better chance of pulling in a higher score on the HFT course compared to those who mainly shoot Field Target would have had on the FT course.

So, for this year we’ve decided that scores for the overall title of British Air Rifle Champion will be calculated on a combined percentage of the scores from both courses basis, rather simply adding together the points that each shooter scores on both courses.
