Pistol is one of the most popular divisions within the shooting sport. While we have many who participate in indoor leagues and compete in both our Indoor and Outdoor State Championship respectfully, to say the competition is fierce would be an understatement. This year we would like to welcome our CT Pistol Team at our annual banquet.

To represent CT you must be the top 6 shooters in one of the three disciplines (22, CF, 45) based on your score in the national match, be a member of the State Association, and have attended a State 2700 match.

The Connecticut State Rifle & Revolver Association- Pistol Division is pleased to announce its Indoor Pistol Match Schedule. The Indoor State Championship will be held at the in February (See Calendar).   For questions contact us at pistol@csrra.org

Formation of Teams' Classification

If the team members have different classifications, here is how their classification in determined:

Add all classifications up and divide by 4

Example:

You have two master shooters, one expert shooter and one marksman shooter.

10+4+2=16/4=4 you’ll be an expert team.

If your total comes up to let’s say 3.5, you round up to the next higher class.

Reference: 19.12 Team Classification, page 48 of NRA Precision Pistol Rules 

Individual Class Averages

Competitors will be classified as follows and NRA Classification Cards issued accordingly:

Establishing Classification - A competitor will be officially classified by the NRA when the total score for a minimum of 360 shots has been reported for either indoor or outdoor. However, classification averages will be computed only after the total score for a tournament or league has been posted and, therefore, the average may be based on a greater number of shots, but will not be based upon a lesser number. Total scores so reported to the NRA will be posted to the Classification Record for the competitor concerned. When the scores for the stated minimum of 360 shots (or more if this minimum is reached during the scores of any tournament or league) have been so posted, the average score per I O-shot string will be computed.
