Title: Postal Shoot
Post by: Posiedon on July 22, 2006, 04:59:27 PM
I have been hearing alot of talk lately about postal shoots.  From what I understand, it is based on honesty and you mail in your target at the end of the week/month.  Am I right?  Does anybody have experience with these?  I would be interested in one please let me know.

I haven't seen many lately.  Several years back Sinclair ran them all summer.

Posiedon-- They have them all over the net. www.204ruger.com has them for the 204. We shot I think 5 classes last year. There is supposed to be 2 of them this year over there. 1 person prints , mails, & scores the targets. He then posts the targets & the winners. It is on the Honor System & is meant to be fun. If you don't like your targets after you've shot them just don't turn them in. HTH

I joined the TN State team on another forum that is putting one on but it's strictly for an M14 style rifle......After I saw the size of the target I'm kinda wondering what I got myself into cause it's Offhand at 100yds with no glass :shrug:

Should be fun though!

IDPA has one each year for its members.  Every one shoots the same stages of fire at their local gun club/range and the match directors mail them in to IDPA.   The results are posted and you can see how you did against the rest of the country.  Pretty cool.
