Saturday Morning: Squadded competitions including Timed & Precision One, Multi-Target and the NRA Embassy Cup. NRA Medals are awarded for competition in each class, based on the amount of entrants:

  • Gold and Silver Medal with 9 or more competitors
  • Gold, Silver and Bronze Medal with 16 or more competitors
