Please refer to the correct thread entitled "Interested in Shooting a Forum Postal Match? "
Greetings!
Who here would be interested in participating in a Forum Postal Match?
Before anyone gets too excited, I need to state upfront that I have floated this concept with Handejector, and received his blessings, with the understanding that it be known in advance that the Forum will not be associated with this Postal Match, and that the administration of it falls solely on me!
What I am proposing, is (initially) a rimfire postal match, fired at 50 feet. This Postal Match would be made up of 6 monthly sets of targets. Upon completion of the course of fire (described below), the targets would be signed by the shooter and a witness, marked for the month of submission and the division, and mailed (unscored) to me. You would provide your own targets. These can be purchased online.
Divisions: this Postal Match would have 4 divisions:
1) semi-auto iron sights
2) semi-auto any sights
3) revolver iron sights
4) revolver any sights
Pistols: any 22 caliber rimfire handgun.
Course of fire:
2 B2 (50' slow fire targets), 5 shots per target, time of 5 minutes per target
2 B3 (50' timed/rapid fire targets), 5 shots per target, time of 20 seconds per target
2 B3 (50' tied/rapid fire targets), 5 shots per target, time of 10 seconds per target
All shooting would be one-handed.
With the exception of not using NRA classifications, NRA rules would apply.
Awards (per division)
First place - plaque (minimum of 10 entries)
Second place - medal (minimum of 15 entries)
Third place - medal (minimum of 20 entries)
Additional medals awarded for each additional 5 entries
Entry fee: $10 per division entered, which covers the 6 months of matches
Unexpended entry fees (after purchase and mailing of awards) to be donated to the Forum in the Memory of Our Absent Members
Time-line:
Registration submitted by April 30
April targets postmarked by May 10th
May targets postmarked by June 10th
June (dark month, I will be working the NRA National Matches in July and August)
July targets postmarked by August 10th
August targets postmarked by September 10th
September targets postmarked by October 10th
October targets postmarked by November 10th
Monthly scores will be posted as quickly as humanly possible.
Awards should be mailed by the end of November.
An accounting of all entry fee expenditures will be posted with the final results.
Please Note: understanding how money is tight and time is a precious commodity, you may shoot and submit targets over fewer than 6 shooting sessions. Just make sure to indicate which targets are for which months!
Second PLEASE NOTE: I am not looking to generate a profit, I will be donating my time in order to promote this Precision Pistol Postal Match!
I will announce whether this Postal Match will occur at the end of March.
