Shooting qualifier

[ad5md]

I shoot minor and the local range will have a 4 COF qualifier stages coming up. I have already shot one stage more than a month ago. From what I know, one needs to shoot 4 qualifiers to be classified. Will the 1st qaulifier I shot be included to get the 4 highest scores?

Since I shoot minor, would it help to speed up or, better concentrate on getting A's? Thank you

Classifiers, not qualifiers, and 4 of your highest, out of your first 6, will get you classified.

Shooting minor in production, single stack or limited?

Thanks for the correction. Minor in Limited. So does it have to be at least 6, or the 4 highest scores from the 5 can be used? Thanks

All you need is 4 classifiers on record to get a classification. Sorry, I misread your initial post as you already had a few classifiers, not just one.

Minor in limited, depending on your skill level, if you are shooting fast enough and get all A's then it won't matter. :-)

I would just shoot for accuracy if you are new to the sport because if you drop one C in minor, you are already giving up 2 points.

Yeah, need 4 classifiers for initial classification, best 6 of 8 recent after that.

So far I have only 1 classifier and I did good on that one. I hope to do the same on the 4 coming up. Thanks

They will use the best 4 of the most recent 6. If you have 4 when they run the classification program, you will get those four. If you have 3 or less on one classification day you will still be unclassified. If you have 4 or more, you will get a classification from the best of the most recent 6

All the details are in the rulebook under The USPSA Classification System.

Initial classification can be confusing.

4 or more gets you classified. They will only use the best 4 out of the most recent 6. It doesn't matter if you only have 4, or if you have 60. They still are only going to use the BEST 4 out of the most RECENT 6. Less than 4, then you're still unclassified.

After that, they use the best 6 out of the most recent 8.

Now comes my next question. If finished my first 4 classifiers at 39.88 (I'm number 6 in the country in D Class. Probably the only time I'll be near that high nationally in anything). I shot a 45 on Saturday and would have to have my worse ever classifier on number 6 to not make C. Will they wait until I have 8 to move me to C?

How did you find you were #6 in ranking? Is that hidden somewhere on the USPSA site?

No. I think if your current scores average above 40%, you should go to C, even if you don't have 8 scores.

I now know the answer for sure. At the club match classifier in March, I did well enough to get my average of 5 classifiers to 41%. This was averaging all 5, not dropping any. If they'd dropped my lowest, I'd have been over 42%. My C card showed up yesterday. So if you are still in your initial few classifiers, they will base your classification on those 5 and use all of them.

They're not going to start dropping the lowest ones until you have more than 6.
