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.
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 –
18 meetings eligible for a ranking entry were shot throughout the 2019 season. The final event of the season was the FDPC Rimfire Festival – shot on the 23rd November. The newest event was the inaugural Chelmsford Open Weekend shot the weekend before – 16/17 November.
For the last few seasons the main events ranked have been the popular T&P1, Multi-Target and 1500 competitions.
Ranking tables for next season are set to be enhanced and expanded to cover more or less all the events shot at all meetings.
For some the season is over. Traditionally the AAW has been the last ranking competition of the season. However two more events are now offered in November. For others the chance is there to get your averages up even higher.
Here are the declared teams shooting for England, Scotland and Wales at the head to head HCNM match on Saturday 31 August 2019 – Melville ranges, Bisley:
A late entry to the calendar but a fully classified meeting on offer. The 2019 Chelmsford Winter Action Weekend will be held over the weekend of the 16th and 17th November 2019.
For the first time in a very long time, Chelmsford Rifle Club is pleased to announce that it is hosting a full weekend of action shooting. Sadly no camping but plenty of parking and lunch will be included for all. Indoor shooting and a comfortable lounge to keep out of the cold if we have an early winter.
T&P1, Multi Target, 1020, WA48, in all categories. Possibly TP3 and Phoenix A if there is a call for it. Match to be held at CHELMSFORD (1944) RIFLE CLUB, Chelmsford, Essex. For more details contact Paul Joyce
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 50th 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.
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.
Bianchi at the Phoenix meeting will consist of the ‘standard’ four elements – Barricades, Mover, Plates and Practical however the Practical match will be modified to cater for the Butt Zero range and space availability we have available to us. The past two or three seasons had seen the USM run instead of a practical match. The USM is now to be retired and the modified practical match run in its place
The modified practical match will replace the USM and the course of fire will be as follows:
Stage 1 10 metres
3 seconds 1 shot on each target
4 seconds 2 shots on each target
8 seconds 3 shots on each target
for the 8 second stage: – LBP, LBR: weak hand freestyle. GRCF, GRSB: weak shoulder
Stage 2 15 metres
4 seconds 1 shot on each target
5 seconds 2 shots on each target
6 seconds 3 shots on each target
Stage 320 meters (formerly 25 metres)
4 seconds 1 shot on each target
5 seconds 2 shots on each target
6 seconds 3 shots on each target
Stage 4 25 meters (formerly 50 metres)
5 seconds 1 shot on each target (formerly 7 sec)
6 seconds 2 shots on each target (formerly 10 sec)
7 seconds 3 shots on each target (formerly 15 sec)
