Is there an ATA rule that says shooters must wear eye protection? I Was at a shoot this last weekend and a guy never wore any kind of glasses at all. When I aksed shoot management about it, they said that if he shot good scores and won womething they would DQ him.

Yes

Eye and ear protection are required for shooters and scorers.

"16. All persons including competitors, referee/scorers, and trap
personnel must wear appropriate eye and hearing protection while
on the trap field. Failure to comply may result in disqualification."

According to the ATA Rule book "All persons including competitors, referee/scorers, and trap
personnel must wear appropriate eye and hearing protection while
on the trap field. Failure to comply may result in disqualification."

Hope this answers your question.

When you walk in to classify and your buddy says "gonna run another 200 and show these yahoos who's top dog?" And your card says class B with your last 3 scores are 98 197 97....

The classifier squints thru steely eyes and says "known ability"

Flip it is in the rulebook just like the references you write of just read A, 1, 2, and 3. That should give you a large clue as to what "known ability" is especially the last paragraph (3)

"I see it referenced in the rule book, but it seems like it is being used on a subjective basis?"

C. CLASSIFICATION

1. For 16-yard targets and Doubles, shooters should be placed in three
(3) or more classes, according to their established average and/or
known ability. A new shooter may be assigned to any class in 16-yards
and Doubles events, at the discretion of classification personnel until
the shooter establishes his/her known ability.

a. To arrive at known ability the following should be taken into
consideration as far as such information is or can be made
available:

(1) Official registered targets (abnormally low scores should be
disregarded). Averages of all registered shooters are compiled
and published annually.

(2) Non-registered scores including Shoot-off scores, nonregistered
events, practice scores, etc.

(3) Any other information bearing on a shooter’s ability to shoot
and break targets.
