Understanding World Sporting Pro/Handicap shoot system.

Quick Guide

 

How you Win

Simply all you need to do is concentrate on your shooting, maintain or improve your standard of shooting and you are likely to be in the prize
fund payout.

Handicap System

Even on your first shoot you are given a handicap based on selected unknown stands.

After completing your first shoot you have a true handicap.
Example 100 bird event – Shoot 70 ex 100 you will have a handicap of +20
for your next shoot. (par for 100 bird events = 90 ex 100)

Decrease Handicap

 

If you shoot better your handicap will decrease. Example based on handicap
above, you shoot 72 ex 100 at next shoot then you will have a new handicap
of +18.

Increase Handicap

 

Your handicap will increase if you shoot three scores worse than your previous best. The system looks back at your last three scores and bases your handicap according to the highest.

Example of your first 12 shoots  (first shoot left- Max handicap +30)

 

 

Handicaps updated once a week (check your handicap)
( if you shoot two shoots within a week same handicap will be used.)

If you join and shoot two shoots within first week you will be assessed on unknown stands to give you a handicap for day as at your first shoot.

The prize fund is paid out in three levels and is up to the ground owner how
the money is shared out.

First Level           No Handicap added  High gun + places
Second Level      Handicap added        High gun + places
Third Level          Share of remaining prize fund.

One prize per person / all shooters compete in all levels regardless of handicap.

Other Ways to Use your Handicap

Once you understand the way the handicap system works you can have
even more fun at a shoot.

Chances are you shoot regularly with a group of friends, using the pro/handicap system you can have your own competition separate
from the prize fund being offered at the shoot.

You may decide to all put a fiver in the pot for the winner or the looser buys a round of drinks etc.

Example of a group of four mates
Shooter 1   Handicap +20       Shoots  67      Total = 87
Shooter 2   Handicap +0         Shoots  88      Total = 88
Shooter 3   Handicap +2         Shoots  85      Total = 87
Shooter 4   Handicap +15       Shoots  74      Total = 89

Give this a try, you will be amazed how close you end up with your score plus
handicap making it a great equalizer between friends enabling anyone to win.

 

Most importantly enjoy your shooting !!!
