XXIX
Based on Past Scores. - The handicap points allowed shall be based on the percentage of kills recorded for the shooter during the month on which the handicap is based. They shall be as nearly as possible such as would raise the points scored to ten in a ten-bird competition, provided the shooter kills two birds above his average. Thus a shooter making 40 per cent. or more kills shall receive four points, one making 50 per cent. three points, and so on, it being understood that no account shall be taken of fractions of one per cent. Handicapping committees may, nevertheless, so exercise their discretion in the interpretation of this rule as to avoid obvious anomalies such as might, for example, follow upon awarding the same points to a shooter with 60 per cent. of kills and one with 69 per cent.
