All shooters that intend gaining selection and representing New Zealand, must complete and sign a Shooters Agreement. This must be done before the teams are announced. So please read it and raise any questions with the National Secretary.

Oceania FITASC teams 2012 -Results – Wed 14 December 11
The New Zealand Oceania Teams for 2012 will be named at Wanganui/Rangitikei after the North Island Sporting Championship 17th – 18th March 2012. The team will compete at the 24th FITASC Championship of Oceania being hosted by Waikato Gun Club 27th – 29th April 2012.
Shooters must shoot 500 qualifying targets, made up as follows; 2012 Nationals, 1 of the Island Championships and any 2 other Qualifying shoots held between the 2011 Nationals and the 2012 Nationals.
A full list of qualifying shoots can be found here.
The shooters score will be converted to a percentage of the top score, with the winner gaining 100%. There are several reasons for this, but the most important is this system makes no consideration of the target difficulty, the winner is still rewarded for winning and the rest of the shooters scores are converted to a percentage of the winner’s score to reflect their distance behind the winner.
This system is used around the world to select national teams in many disciplines, and is widely considered to be the fairest.
