<br>It would not be a record if a person had the "second" smallest group or second highest Score.
<br>A record is the best of the best at Williamsport, IBS 1000 yard and NBRSA 1000 yard Heavy gun matches.
<br>
<br>We have two seperate catagories.
<br>If you shoot a record "Group", it can be anywhere on the target as long as all 10 shots are on paper.
<br>If it's a "score" record, of course the group will no doubt be centered more so in the middle of the target.
<br>
<br>You can't set a World record Group or Score in 1000 yard match shooting any other way.
<br>
<br>If two people shoot the EXACT same group, lets say 3.100" then you take the best score of the two and THAT breaks the tie.
<br>
<br>Same with a Score tie, the best Group breaks the tie.
<br>
<br>There are no points given in the 1000 yard World record catagories as a COMBINED Group and score measurment.
<br>
<br>This could be a "Club" event however.
<br>
<br>Being at Williamsport for the last 15 years, I am very much up on the rules and have been responsible for sending our records to Guinness in England.
<br>
<br>The IBS and NBRSA Heavy gun works the same way. 10 shots for record in the Group "and" score catagories.
<br>
<br>There are also 6 match and 10 match aggregates (average) in the Group and Score (seperate again) catagories too.
