How do they rank High Master, Master, and Sharp shooters? Assumming a guy could shoot in the 190's for 2-20 round match stings and 200 being a perfect score,, well actually a 200 40X would be the best possible, verse maybe a guy shooting 170's.

Dan i am not sure what the round count is but the total number of rounds fired also count in the mix. The 40 rounds you mention really are not enough to get a person classified at least in F-Class or Palma.
You have to have 120 rounds downrange within a certain time period to get classified. (1 year?)
Classifications are done by percentages, not points, as follows:
For F-Class the classes are:
High Master . . . 98.00 and above
Master . . . . . . 96.50 to 97.99
Expert . . . . . . 94.00 to 96.49
Sharpshooter . . . 91.50 to 93.99
Marksman . . . . . Below 91.50
In your sample, 190/200 = 95% 170/200 = 85%
Just divide your score by the possible score to get your %.
The percentages are different for various shooting disciplines, F Class is noted above.
Thanks for the response guys, so once I shoot a season about 400 rounds I should get a fair estimate of qualification,, not that it would actually count, I only shoot club matches out to 300 yards.
NRA will classify you as soon as they receive the first 120 rounds, they don't wait too see how much you shoot.Quote:

I'm classified in mid-range, so if I attend a long range (1000yds) match, I have to shoot in Master class until I get a classification for that too.
When & if your average increases to the next level, NRA will automatically re-classify you and you'll receive a new card.
