The
Competitions
The Polar Bear
League is an Individual League and a Team League running concurrently
shot at 50 yard/50 metre for prone Small-bore shooters, shot
over nine rounds with ten competitors in each division. Each
round has a maximum score of 200 i.e. 20 shots on 4 diagrams
using targets as supplied by the N.S.R.A. The divisions are
arranged in such a way so that the competitors are only competing
against those of equal ability. To enter, a shooter submits
their current average, which has to be verified by an Officer
of their club, or that which they attained at the end of the
previous season in the League.
There are two competitions
each year, namely Summer League, which spans May to September
with a round each two weeks, and the Winter League, which spans
October to March with a round each three weeks. An often asked
question is "Why clause 8" in the conditions. This
was considered by all participating clubs in 1987 and
except for ONE club it was agreed to keep this rule because
it stopped some shooters from completing their nine cards
during the better weather. The other reason for combining
three rounds is because it represents Three English Matches
which is an Internationally recognized length of a competition.
