whats the SOP on this it seems all the matches I attend I get squadded with a SS one time and a master the next ect,ect., Not that I care but is there a "official way" to squad up the shooters? or is it solely the decision of the match director or ? Also do SR and MR shooters get squadded the same or differently. Tim |
| I don't think there is any specific protocol about squadding for NRA Highpower matches. International competition is another story. The same class unless they need fillers shoots the same relay with highest ranking competitors to the center with lower ranked shooters progressing outwards from center. Spectator friendly. |

Usually squadding is done so that people of the same classification are on the same relay. So it's not so much who else is on your firing point, but who else is on your relay. The reasoning is so that everyone in a class is shooting at the same time in the same conditions. But, some squadding at Perry for example is completly random. Frank |
Sir, in matches that use preregistrations it is common for the match director to squad all High Masters on the first relay, Masters on the second, etc. as Mr. fcernese has mentioned. This is also common in the NRA HP matches at Camp Perry, but CMP matches in the previous week is mostly random because they don't use classifications in CMP matches. Other matches that have registrations immediately preceeding usually are also randomly squadded, often the shooters will ask the person collecting fees and SR1 cards to be squadded with a friend or on a particular relay. There is no specific rule that I know of beyond the notion that shooters of equal skills should be squadded on the same relay so that theoretically they are all firing in the same conditions.
