WHRSA What is it?

Researching the NRA BPTR rules, I came across this abbreviation.
A cursory inspection of the net did not provide much help so I thought I would inquire here.  Anybody familiar with this?

It may help to have the rule where it is used for the context it is used in

World Historical Rifle Shooting Association

Between 1995 to 2006 they held a World Championship event for both muzzleloader and cartridge black powder rifles.  Shot at 300, 500, 600, 800, 900 and 1000 yards or closest metric equivalent.   

The matches were shot in South Africa 1995, 97, 06 Bisley GB, 2003 and at Quantico, VA 1999

The 2001 match was cancelled along with the 2010 match.  No further matches have been scheduled.

I forgot they called it that.  There was a shooter's meeting at the DCRA LR BP match 1993 to set up the basic rules by the Brits, Canadians and Americans. That was when duplex gave way to straight BP.

Thanks for the info.  I suspected as much but cannot find much/any info on the net about it.
