What is a Postal Match?


Before the internet, if friendly target shooters wanted to compete against one another they could either meet together and exchange targets, or they would participate in a Postal Match. Typically these contests were a standard course of fire that the participants shot, then mailed to the contest organizer for tally. Since the internet can provide us with nearly instant feedback, and we can trade many different targets, it seems to be an ideal format for the "Modern Postal Match".

Great shooting everyone. We will tally the scores each month and declare the 2010 winner of each class at the end of the year. Remember the new 2010 rules - you can enter as many classes as you like, with as many different guns in each class, but only one target per gun. Shoot straight, be safe and have fun.
