Introduction

The Mind the Gap competition is fulfilling a “gap” in shooters needs, we have many shooters from our competition season working hard at their shooting consistency month after month, and a large group of club shooters and juniors who can shoot from their home range and challenge our top shooters.
We are now an international competition with many of our shooting friends from the Coral Seas joining in.
We are excited to introduce a new format this year and anticipate growth in the “gap chasers”

Gap Rules

Choose your gap before your match starts and advise this to the Match Organiser or Range Officer. 
Examples below (using a chosen gap of 100)

- Gap = 100 + your score of 500 = 600
- Gap = 100 + your score of 490 = 590
- Gap = 100 + your score of 510 = 580 (# see note)

# Note:- Match points over 600 are doubled and taken off the score

In the event of a tied score, the lowest gap will be the winner.

You can only enter one result each month as this is a monthly competition.
In the event that two results are received for any month then the lowest result will be used and the other result will be discarded.

Score Template

This can be just an email sent to mtg@hibiscusairpistol.org.nz as long as it contains the following information.

-       Your name
-       The date you shot the match
-       Your chosen gap
-       Your match score
-       I confirm that I set my gap and advised the Club Organiser or Range Officer of this gap before I shot my match.

As this match is based on each competitors honesty the purpose of confirming you advised someone of your gap before your shot is just an affirmation to all the other competitors that your scoring is true and correct, and likewise all of the other competitors are confirming to you that their scoring is true and correct.
