The 9th Virginia Cavalry team rosters are determined through a qualification system based on the number of hits obtained while shooting a timed paper qualification target package. The package consists of
-- UNIT1
[a black-sided pigeon, a white 4-inch tile, a white 4-inch pot] and
-- UNIT 2
[a white 6-inch tile and a white 6-inch ‘paper plate’ or circle].
The qualifications are begun in January and a member can shoot as many qualification rounds as they want throughout the year. The two best, or highest, hit scores are used to determine a shooter’s score. The two highest scores are averaged. A hit is any shot that touches or is within the target. The relay is started with a loaded capped firearm like a normal skirmish event. The timed qualifications must be witnessed by another N-SSA member and his signature and competitor number placed on the qualification roll.
For the MUSKET TEAM, the targets are shot with a timed 2-minute relay for each target.
