February 23, 2020 Neil No comments

The Great Britain Gallery Rifle Team for 2020

Moving into the 2020 season the GB Gallery rifle team has a new captain and Vice captain. Taff Wilcox steps down after two seasons which included a tour to compete in the IGRF Worlds in South Africa in late 2019.

Gary Bowden takes over as captain with Phil Wood as Vice. The 2020 season is considered a ‘standard’ season according to the new captain. Tours to Ireland in the Summer and Germany in early Winter will take place. The traditional Phoenix meeting home match will also take place at the end of May where we hope to host as many of the IGRF nations as possible.

The 2021 season sees the return of the biennial IGRF World Championships to the UK. Objectives for team GB for 2020 is to solidify and enhance all aspects of team interaction and performance to represent the nation in these world championships.

2020 Classifications

2020 Classifications

Classifications for the 2020 season have changed. In summary:

T&P1 GRSB and GRCF changed from 3 classes to 5 classes
Multi-Target GRSB and GRCF changed from 3 classes to 5 classes
Advancing Target GRSB and GRCF changed from 3 classes to 5 classes
Bianchi GRSB and GRCF changed from 5 classes to 3 classes
1020 GRSB and GRCF introducing 3 classes

See the details of the classification changes

Additionally competitor’s classifications are now decided on scores achieved over the last 3 seasons – not their complete historic record. The three year window will continuously roll forward on a competition by competition basis. So for the start for the 2020 season only registered scores from 2017, 2018 and 2019 seasons are being considered

The chances are your classifications will have changed. Check them here. Or download a complete spreadsheet of everybody’s classifications here. Your classifications may look wrong – especially in the T&P, M-T and Advancing target events. Barring the odd glitch that may have crept in they chances are they are not. Changing to 5 divisions and bounding to the last three years of scores data will have changed things a fair bit. You can check the score that achieved the classification you are in at the historic scores database.

Bianchi Classification modifications for 2020

Bianchi Classification modifications for 2020

The decline of the Bianchi over the last few years means running 5 classes is very hard to justify. The GRSB/GRCF will move to 3 classes in 2020 with the breakpoints as below.

Bianchi

Class	GRSB	GRCF	LBP	LBR
X	~~1865-1920~~ 1836-1920	~~1895-1920~~ 1890-1920	1895-1920	1825-1920
A	~~1811-1864~~ 1701-1835	~~1855-1894~~ 1801 – 1889	1750-1894	1750-1824
B	~~1746-1810~~ up to 1700	~~1815-1854~~ up to 1800	up to 1749	up to 1749

Classes 2020

December 1, 2019 Neil 3 comments

Classes 2020

Its been proposed the classification structure be looked at for a few events next season. The popular events of T&P1, Multi-Target and Advancing Target are currently offered in 3 classes for rifles. Its proposed they may benefit from 5. Bianchi is not very popular at the moment so its proposed knocking that back to 3. Also the 1020 event is gaining traction so offering this in 2 or 3 classes is also a possibility.

Additionally we have always classed people on their complete historic record. This isn’t really sensible any more so from 2020 the classification boundaries will be bounded to the last 5 or 3 years worth of scores. Which is better?

If anyone is interested some easy to visualize stats spreadsheets are here for people to look at –

The 2019 Derby Open

June 25, 2019 Neil No comments

The 2019 Derby Open Meeting

Results for Derby 2019 now available

The Derby Open took place from mid day Friday 21st June to Sunday 23rd June.

2019 was not a record breaker but there were 106 competitors and over 950 events shot. It was fantastic to see 14 new faces, some completely new to the competition circuit.

With it being our 50^th anniversary we increased the budget for the prize table and I think you will agree that it was excellent with numerous high value prizes to be chosen. This was also due to the extraordinary support from the ten sponsors who supported the meeting. It is worth mentioning them by name (below) as they deserve our thanks and having confidence in our sport. Please support them in return.

The Home Countries International Match was won by Wales, congratulations. England won the Pistol and Revolver matches. Winner team members were presented with Brownells medals. The scores are included at the end of the results file.

The Man v Man LBP event was won by Ryan Wiggins with Gary Bowden second. The Man v Man rifle event was won by Jake Mossom with Chris West as runner up.

The Mini McQueen was won by Jake Mossom.

THANKS

The Derby Open is a team effort and would not be possible without the 30 or so Range Crew who worked unbelievably hard over the weekend. Special thanks go to Team Smoothy, Trim, Neil and other visitors for their help and not forgetting the guys in Stats who produced the final results in record time, and most importantly Pam & Mick on the BBQ.

Photos of the weekend will be on drpc1999.com very soon

We hope you all enjoyed everything, and the weather was OK too.

Proposed GR&P Classifications for 2020

April 26, 2019 Neil 5 comments

Proposed GR&P Classifications for 2020

The Classification methodology for GR&P is defined on the Classifications page. They have always been based on highest achieved score for a particular gun type for a specific event.

One problem we have is there is no process for demotion. Once you hit a bullet score that class is where you stay. Apart from class break point reviews which do happen from time to time cementing people into a particular class has one or two flaws which have been recognised over the years.

It has been proposed that the classification system be changed from an all time historic record into a five year seasonal rolling window. So whichever class you are in for a particular gun type and event will be directly related to your recent (5 year) performance in that event and gun type.

There is no real reason not to introduce this method. However comments and opinions from the community are sought. If this rolling 5 year window had have been implemented for the 2019 season there is a spreadsheet linked here to illustrate how it would have impacted all shooters with a classification on the GRID.
