Rimfire Postal Match - round 1

[Flintlock Tom]

For those who don't know a Postal Match is one where the organizer creates and posts a target and the competitors print it out, shoot according to the instructions, mail it to the organizer and win cash and prizes. (Okay, maybe just a token prize)
If it's not obvious, it would depend upon honesty and integrity, (quit giggling) on the part of the participants and the organizer/administrator.
If there's enough interest, I would like to initiate and organize the first round.

The target is at post 13. Be sure to write your user name on your target.

Count me in.

@Reno, get in here.

We did these at a company I used to work at. It was a lot of fun. I'd participate.

 

[Flintlock Tom]

Thanks, guys!
We'll start on Monday.
How about this: we let it run two weeks (two weekends) then a couple days to get the targets in the mail. Then I'll post the winner, and get the prize in the mail, on that following Friday.

 

[Ruger Rich]

I know nothing about this "cept what I've just read here. And it sounds good. I'm willing.

 

[Flintlock Tom]

Welcome, RR, I'll post the target, with instructions, on Monday.

 

[Member 34319]

I'd be down.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Count me in please...these are fun for sure.
The National Muzzle loading Rifle Association used do these monthly.

A day shooting a .22 rifle is always fun.

I did this for awhile on my Facebook page picking different targets every month. I had the participants just scan their targets on to the page for all to see. I'd post the winner on the top of the page as the months "Proficient Marksman". After about a year participation waned and I got busy so it just kind of faded away. I'll be a player as I can rifles or pistols.

 

[GI JEW 555]

I know nothing about them however, I would like to participate.

 

[Nosferatu]

I'm willing to give it a whirl.

Does the shooting HAVE to be done at the post office? Would a Fed-Ex or UPS Store suffice? Do the employees provide their own PPE or is that up to me to supply?

 

[orygun]

The biggest challenge for me would be getting away to shoot!

I'm in.

I may have messed up the upload. If you're having trouble printing it out let me know and I'll try something else.

When printed on an 8½" x 11" sheet the line near the bottom should be exactly 6".



Okay, after shooting your target mail it to:

Thomas Simpson
1775 Washburn Way, #154
Klamath Falls, OR 97603

Be sure to write your user name on your target.

 

[Koda]

If I can get out in the next couple weekends I'll give it a try.
I think this is a fun idea.

 

[41mag]

I'd give it a try if I can figure out this printing thing.

 

[Koda]

I'd give it a try if I can figure out this printing thing.

I printed mine out and the line was 5.5 inches.... so if I use that maybe I can get a handicap point
I'll try turning my print scale up over 100% a bit...

 

[Flintlock Tom]

Try downloading it to your computer before printing...

I did.
Ive never had a home printer print exactly to scale. They are not plotters. Likewise Ive never had any program convert an image file to scale (png), well, I've come close enough to be practical using a CAD system.

5.5" here as well. I'll play with the margins later.
