Grading
Shooters are graded on a rolling average of their previous 20 scores from national or regional Field Target events shot to BFTA rule and the grades are banded as follows:
- AA grade shooters are those with an average score of 85% or above.
- A grade shooters are those with an average score greater than or equal to 75% and less than 85%.
- B grade shooters are those with an average score greater than or equal to 65% and less than 75%.
- C grade is for shooters with an average score less than 65%.
A shooter may elect to be placed into a specific group above the one they are currently graded in, but can only move down as a result of regrading at the start or either the winter or summer season.[3]

Grand Prix Series
The GP series rankings are calculated by taking the scores achieved by each shooter in the series and dropping the lowest X scores (Dependent on number of GP's held in the season) and adding their GP percentage based score. There are champion across 6 categorisations of shooter AA, A, B, C, P and Open.
In 2014 the already shorter series was reduced by a further GP due to the after effects of Hurricane Bertha.[4]
