Is there any interest in postal shoots?

[Mike in Oz]

G'day all,

I seem to remember not too long ago that we had a fair bit of fun with postal shoots and i was wondering if the community interest in them is still there or is dead and gone?

Let me know what you think guys, are you interested or not?

Hey Mike we hear the new job is to your liking, that pretty neat. Most jobs are just that - just a job .......

I would be interested in postal matches again and would offer to run them, and do the scoring. This time those taking part would provide the targets (have to be clean and clear for scoring), lots of dark backgrounds makes finding the bullet hole harder. Lighter is always easier to shoot and score.

6 shots total ( 1 shot would be a tie breaker)

I would be interested it was a lot of fun, and 5 rounds off hand was not to much trouble !!

Hey Buck,

Everyone, Talanthae is my girl and has become a dab hand with the little TC Senica cap lock that I leant her.

I hope you’re all feeling competitive!

Hey "Mike In Oz",

I like your target selection. :thumbs up: :cheers:

I'll have to get Jonathan's OK on postal matches first.

I would reduce the "shot targets" size to save space on the page (all targets on one posting with everyone's target shown for comparisons), have a time limit on each shoot, and use the NMLRA scoring glass, etc.

What do you think guys.

When is the target due for grading? Are we given a month or what? I can't see worth a hoot any longer but am seriously itching for a match. Due to my bad vision in the dominant eye I gotta say that I don't really care much for the target. Just me but I'd prefer a simple bullseye. But bring it on and I'll really try my best.
