► Page 2 of the Official PITA Rule Book, Section A:  MEMBERSHIP (add to 1st paragraph):

Any life member not registering PITA targets for three consecutive years shall be considered as “inactive status” and will not receive the annual membership/averages card or other mailings from PITA.  Life members will be considered as “active status” if they meet any one or more of these conditions:

  1. Register PITA targets at least every third year.
  2. Request in writing they remain as “active” and receive all ordinary correspondence.
  3. Sponsor one or more youth shooter’s annual dues.
  4. Purchase the current Averages and History yearbook.
  5. Advertise or sponsor in the Grand Pacific program.

All annual members are considered “active”.

 

► Page 2 of the Official PITA Rule Book: change PITA ALLSTAR TEAM:

At the end of the target year, 11 five person PITA All Star Teams consisting of a top five team, two men’s teams, two ladies teams, a veteran team (65-69 for the two major shoots), a senior team (70-74 for the two major shoots), an elder team (75 or older for the two major shoots), two junior teams (under 18 at the beginning of the target year) and a sub junior team (under 15 at the beginning of the target year) will be named by the PITA Administrative Office. Members of the respective teams are required to have met the following minimum target requirements:

Category 16 Yard Targets Required Handicap Targets Required Doubles Targets Required
Top five 1700 1700 1100
Mens 1700 1700 1100
Ladies 1200 1200 600
Veterans 1200 1200 600
Seniors 1200 1200 600
Elders 1200 1200 600
Juniors 1000 1000 500
Sub Jr 1000 1000 500

 

Team placement will be determined as follows:

  1. All shooters, not awarded a spot on the “top five” team  shall be eligible for All Star Teams in any category for which they may be eligible; these being both gender and age related.
  2. In the case of being eligible for two teams (these being gender and age categories) they shall be awarded a position on one team only, determined by whichever team they placed

highest. In case the shooter qualifies for two teams at the same position, they shall be awarded the position in the age related category.

Selection of the All Star Team is based on the shooter’s ability as evidenced by their averages. The average is computed by dividing the sum of your singles average, handicap average and doubles average by three.  Targets must include at least 100 singles, 100 handicap and 100 doubles each, shot at 5 different PITA hosted shoot locations. Cross registered targets shot at an ATA sanctioned event and submitted to the PITA will not be counted in the 5 club requirement for All Stars.

 

All members of the respective teams are required to participate in the High All Around events (200 Championship Singles, 100 Championship Handicap and 100 Championship Doubles) at two major shoots. Major shoots are the Grand Pacific, any PITA State/Provincial Shoot, the Western Canadian Championships and the Canadian Championships (when held in BC as a PITA shoot).

 

► Page 3 of the Official PITA Rule Book titled CROSS REGISTRATION add to #3:

If a score of 96 does not earn a punch in a PITA shoot, an ATA Shooter cross-registering will have his/her ATA card punched to reflect a half yard increase.

Change #6 a.:  Publish a program of events or post a copy of the official program on the gun club website to ensure all shooters are notified of the availability of cross registration.  A copy of this program must be included when submitting scores to the organization they are being cross registered to.

 

► Page 5 of the Official PITA Rule Book before Lewis Purse add:

CLUB RECORD RETENTION

    Clubs must keep all shoot records for a minimum of two calendar years.

 

► Page 28 of the Official PITA Rule Book titled Handicap Yardage Reduction, add letters (i), (j):

(j) When disagreement regarding a shooter’s yardage exists, the shooter may contact the Chairman of the Central Handicap Committee. In the event that no agreement can be reached between the shooter and the Chairman, the entire Central Handicap Committee is to be contacted for a final decision.

 

► Page 34 of the Official PITA Rule Book titled DOULBLES: FAILURE TO FIRE, change last sentence on page:  All subsequent doubling malfunctions will be declared as lost a pair.
