The May Postal Match is ON. Please review rules below to avoid issues. I have the targets made, could use someone to post them for me so I don't have to take time to set something up to post them on. PM me if you can do this and I'll send them to you. The five-bull target is for open, unrestricted class only. The single bull will serve for all others. I will act as tabulator for now.
GENERAL RULES FOR ALL CLASSES
-All rifles loading from the muzzle are legal, no caliber or sabot restrictions, no powder restrictions.
-Range will be 100 yards, except where noted.
-No time limit will be applied; however, once shooting on a target has commenced it must be finished during the same range session.
-A shooter can compete in as few or as many classes as desired.
-Targets must be shot during the month of the current competition; ie, those targets posted as May targets must be shot during the current month of May. Scores must be posted to the appropriate thread by the end of the 5th day of the month following (ie, by midnight June 5th for May targets).
-Adults must be registered Graybeard Outdoors posters and should post under their usual pseudonym. Minors can shoot, and an adult may post their scores for them. To Post a minor's score, use YOUR pseudonym with a "-M1" after. Use a higher number for each minor, and assign the same identifier to the minor for each target/month they shoot. So if I were to have 2 minors under me, I would designate them AndyHass-M1 and AndyHass-M2.
SCORING RULES
-For 5-spot targets, the shot must strike the intended bullseye. If it hits an unintended bulleye, score "0" for that shot and mark it as such on the target. Use a 3rd target to make up for the wasted bullseye. If two shots appear on the same bulleye of a 5-spot target, the lowest scoring of the two will count and a "0" will be recorded for the other shot.
-A bullet must only break the plane of the outside of a scoring ring to be scored at the higher value. Lines count towards the higher score at that junction. A bullet of the same caliber as that shot at the target can be inserted into questionable shots to reveal if the shot did indeed break the plane.
-Shooters will report their score on their honor. However, targets must be saved and in the case of a very close finish the tabulator can request mailing of the involved targets for a score check.
-The number of "X" will be used to break ties. A shot that hits in the "X" center circle counts as 10 points and one "X". A target with 45 points total and 3 "X"s will be reported in the format "45-3X"
OPEN CLASS, UNRESTRICTED REST
-No restrictions on sights
-Any type of rest can be used, as long as the rifle is not held in any type of clamp or vise and the stock recoils against the shooter's shoulder (ie no recoil boxes).
-A five-spot target, to be posted here, is to be used. Each round will require 10 shots, therefore 2 full targets. Max score is 100-10X.
OPEN CLASS, 3-POSITION
-No restrictions on sights.
-Each round will be comprised of 15 shots-- 5 shots each prone, kneeling, and standing. A 5-spot target will be used for prone (1 shot each bull) and a single-bullseye target used for kneeling and standing (5 shots at the single bull). So max score will be 150-15X.
-Absolutely no form of rest except the shooter's body and a standard sling may be used in any position.
IRON CLASS, UNRESTRICTED REST
-No glass allowed in sights, obviously no magnification -- only iron sights (standard leaf/post, peep).
-Any type of rest can be used, as long as the rifle is not held in any type of clamp or vise and the stock recoils against the shooter's shoulder (ie no recoil boxes).
-A single bull target will be used. A full round will consist of 2 targets with 5 shots taken on each.
IRON CLASS, 3-POSITION
-No glass allowed in sights, obviously no magnification -- only iron sights (standard leaf/post, peep).
-A full round will consist of 15 shots-- one target of 5 shots from each position (prone, kneeling, standing); a single bull target will be used.
-Absolutely no form of rest except the shooter's body and a standard sling may be used in any position.
