Anybody interested? Summer is half over and I need an excuse to shoot. I've been shooting anyway but its more fun shooting for a reason and with others even if it is long distance and on line.
Sign on and we will set up some rules and targets.

I'm totally lost.
What's a Postal Match?
Well, you take this little stamp see. You dissolve some match heads in acetone and dip the ends of the stamp in the wet slurry and let it dry. then when you post the letter and they run it through their sorter machine they strike the match. Since most postal workers spend almost all of their time on vacation or break nobody will notice and you can burn down that branch of the post office.Originally Posted by swampdragon
Or you down load the designated target, take it out and shoot it according to match rules which we haven't made yet and post it. At the end of the month the designated referee's will declare a winner and that shooter gets to brag till the next match. We shoot a standard target down loaded from the same site so everybody has the same thing. We set the ranges and the number of shots to be shot on each target. On the left hand side of the target you post the shots you made on that target and add up the score on the bottom so everybody can tell at a glance what you shot. Any rimfire works, handgun or rifle, bolt, lever or semi auto, revolver or pistol, off the shelf or match weapons, they are all in. On the top or bottom write date, time, what course of fire it was on the target, what weapon and what ammo, maybe light and weather conditions.
It was interesting to see what some of us were shooting in like my snow days and 28 degrees vs somebody from Texas complaining about the freezing 50 degree days and the 8 mph winds or Arkansas shooting between thunderstorms and tornadoes. Seems like our perfect days were few and far between.
Offhand and bench are the two positions, iron sights and any sight are the two categories. Ranges were 25, 50 and 100 yards in our last match. The ranges can be negotiated by whoever wants to shoot just as long as everybody agrees and shoots the same. Which course of fire you shoot is entirely your choice, some or all, it makes no difference.
I'm not camera literate so I was sending my targets out by E-mail and getting them posted for me till I got photobucket. Then that crashed for me and I'm back to no pictures but that's my problem and it will be worked out. For me the whole thing was an excuse to go shoot. I was going to anyway but the discipline of shooting to match rules just made it a wee bit more challenging. It made me work harder and improved my shooting. I would really like to get this off the ground in both rimfire and 1911 categories. Different match different rules but still you shoot where you are, score your own on the honor system and post the targets.
I wonder if that match stamp thing would work? Sometimes I am evil and I almost, not quite but almost scare me.

Well, I don't own a rim fire gun.
I have a 7.62 AK, a .45acp HK USP, and a 308 bolt rifle.
The concept of it all sounds pretty fun though!
Now you have an excuse to get one, any excuse to buy a gun is a good excuse right?

Good reason to get one, anyway why don't you have one ? You should have one at least and It should be on the survive list a case of 22lr go a long way and takes up very little space ya thats right most practical ever besides a shotgun of course. Still get trigger time to hone your skills and best part you save $$$$$$$$$$$$$Well, I don't own a rim fire gun.

I bought a 10/22 a few months ago and it's by far my most used firearm these days.
In fact I just picked up a Ruger MarkIII pistol this morning...That's how much I have come to love the .22
It's cheap
It's fun
Ammo is still reasonable...550 rounds for under $20
Never mind. I looked it up.
It's an NRA thing?

I don't get it.
