Postal Match Rules:


This will be for handguns only the first go around to see how people like it.

1. 22 Rimfire. 15 yards offhand at a 9" paper plate. No aiming point allowed on target. Iron sights only. Semi-auto, single shot or revolver.

2. Any caliber over 22. Semi-auto at 25 yards. 9" paper plate with no aiming point on target. Offhand. Iron sights only.

3. Any caliber over 22. Revolver at 50 yards. 9" paper plate with no aiming point on target. Iron sights from the bench or off hand, which ever you shoot the best from.

4. Any caliber over 22. Single shot pistol. 100 yards. 9" paper plate with no aiming point on target. Benchrest, sitting, prone, kneeling or offhand, which ever you feel most comfortable at. Scope permissable.

All targets scored by the smallest group for 10 shots closest to the center of the target. All targets must be postmarked by Sept. 15th 2002. All targets must be witnessed and dated. Witness may also be a competitor but also must have a witness sign their targets. Do not have to compete in all 4 categories. I will donate a prize for all 4 categories. With a Grand Prize to the best targets of any competitor who shoots all four categories. Must be registered either as a member of GunBroker Forums or Perfect Union web site by August 1st.


If anybody would like to have the rules changed or amended, please speak up now as these will be the final rules effective July 15th 2002.

    This is a suggestion not for me, but for those people that are dyed in the wool front stuffers. How about a category for all cap and ball pistols, be they single shot or muzzle loading, as some of us may not have anything other than cap and ball? Now this is a suggestion for me. The cap and ball category could take the place or be used in lieu of a single shot, I dont have a single shot either. I'd like to participate in all 4 categories. I plan on Idsman shooting my guns for score, though he doesnt know it yet.
    Well, ok, it was a self serving suggestion after all.

    Ryan, I think the rules as stated would include black powder pistols. It doesn't say what mechanism is required to ignite the powder. Only stipulates that it has to be over 22 caliber. Besides, I want to see how good you are with a black powder pistol at 100 yards.

    Very cool, Allen. Thanks for stepping up and establishing the rules and also a big Thank You for donating the prizes. Now, where do I send the targets?



    Reality bites, but it's real.

    WOOF.

    Oh yeah, one other thing: Will you define "offhand" for me? I hope this doesn't come across as being too picky, I just want to do this correctly and to be fair. Thanks!

    Offhand= Modified Weaver stance or some facsimility of the Weaver Stance.

    Rule changes have been edited into the rules posted above, please take note.

    If I can't find somebody else to score the targets, then I guess I will be the one. Will post address about the 1st of Sept. or so.

    My address and e-mail are in my profile.

    Does the witness have to be a registered member?

    Nope, only if they want to compete. Okay I have 3 very generous people that have volunteered to score the tatgets. One way of doing this is to one of them score the targets, pass them on to the next and then have that person pass them on to the final person. That way all targets are scored 3 times and cross checked. Once the final scores jive the last person to score them can e-mail myself with the final results and I'll announce the winners, or the final person to score the targets can announce the winners after the other 2 scorers agree that the winners were the same ones they had come up with. Each scorer should keep a list of the winners unknown to the other scorers. I'll post a link here to what each winner of each category wins as soon as I can find a picture of it.

    The Grand Prize for the person who shoots all 4 categories and has the best scores.



    The winner of each category will win one of these.

    Allen,
    What are we suppose to do with those little boxes with red X's in them, print them up and see if we can shoot them? I'm sorry, but I aint that good a shot, and you told me you were only minute of moose, yeah right. If you're using these as targets I dont think I wanna talk to you any more about hitting targets.

    For those who missed it the first time I posted this -


    Dealing with the dreaded red X :

    Right click on the X. Click on "Properties". The URL, among other things, will appear in a window. Highlight the URL by right clicking your mouse and dragging the cursor over the URL. Right click on highlighted URL. Click on "Copy". Close the window containing the highlighted URL. Place cursor in address bar. Right click your mouse. Click on "Paste". Hit either "Enter" on your keyboard, or click on "Go" at the end of the address bar. Takes way less time to do than it took me to write this.

    Voila! You should now have the picture showing up in it's intended place.

    No prob, Rob!

    Hey, I'm a poet and I didn't, uh, didn't, uh, um, how does that go again?

    Kind of a handy trick to know. Normally works, doesn't work all the time, though. Don't know why.

    Rugerniner, you better let Saxonpig know that you plan on winning that 35 Whelen so he can go out and recruit 790 some more members.
