Badges Explained
The Badge award system this series we will be using makes for a more relaxed and less competitive side to HFT (Hunter Field Target). It will encourage shooters to work toward improving their own personal performance as well as provide a stimulating event for the novice and experienced alike.
There are 4 merit award levels based on an individuals score in relation to the highest score of the day.
Open Class you need
Gold = within 4 point of top score on the day
Silver = within 9 point of top score on the day
Bronze = within 14 point of top score on the day
Junior, Recoiling & 22 Class
Gold = within 9 point of top score on the day
Silver = within 14 point of top score on the day
Bronze = within 20 point of top score on the day
Extra dispensation has been given to those shooting in .22, recoiling class (spring powered rifles) and junior classes. This is in recognition of the extra effort and skill required to achieve a high score in these classes and to give everyone a fair chance of achieving an award.
When can I collect my Badge?
Because the badges are awarded based on the top score for the day you will have to wait until the final scores from Session 2 are in and collated by the Stats office. This would not be until after the presentation at most competitions. Because of this you will have the choice to either buy a badge (assuming your score qualifies for one) at the Stats office after all stats are calculated or you will be able to buy the badge from the stats office at one of the other competitions in the series or at the end of season gathering.
How much will the Badge cost?
Badges cost £3 each. The first badge is free for junior competitors but any further badges they win will be charged at the normal rate.
Are there any restrictions on buying a badge?
Yes – each competitor will only be able to buy one badge at each event. You can buy a badge of a lesser merit to replace the one you actually achieved if you would like to collect the full set. So for example - if you had earned a Gold badge you could ask for a Silver or Bronze badge instead.
Shooters who win a 5th Gold badge in that seasons competitions will be eligible for a Platinum Badge. (They aren't required to buy 5 Gold badges, just achieve the Gold award standard at 5 events). The Platinum badge cannot be bought from the Stats office. It will be awarded free of charge at the end of that day's event
