I was told by someone in another forum that people wanting to compete at the Nationals fired at Camp Perry have to pre-qualify with a minimum score average to enter. He said he'd called NRA and someone there confirmed that because the number of entries was so large, the NRA set up a program where one gains points at lower competition levels (local, state, regional) to progress upwareds. And only those with some level of qualifying points lets them shoot in the Nationals.
It's been a few years since I've been to the Nationals, but those many times there myself, anyone with the money could enter regardless of classification, past scores fired and even those who had never fired a rifle before. In reading the 2009 program for the Nationals as well as the latest high power rules, there's no such qualification program stated for gaining entry into the matches.
Please help me out.
