The postal matches I ran here, were chunk matches.
Candle Snuffer also hosted a postal match here at ALR - here's one thread on it. I still have my target on the back wall in my shop. I ended up with a 27 for score - not counting the crossfire onto Taylor's sighter target - LOL. It was only a 1 anyway. Every shot would have been in a moose's lungs, however, with 8 of them inside an 8 1/2" triangle, pretty much centred on the target. Some were offhand, some sitting with cross sticks. I managed to get 3 inside the centre 5 and one missed that by 1/2" for 3 points +2 other 3-pointers, scoring total of 24 for those 9 scoring shots.
Taylor and I shot this postal match together. There was a LOT if interest here, but Taylor, myself and Candle Snuffer were the only ones to turn in scores. Kerry shot the match, but that year, I think he was the only one who showed a target. Taylor and I had one practice shoot, but never got together for another match, that was it. I still have 2 targets ready to shoot.
We do need to do this again. Perhaps we could use the same target and shoot it at 100yards, or use a reduced version - 1/2 size would give 2 targets from each Bristol Board?
My oft posted pictures shooting my .69 cal. rifle, were taken by Taylor when I was shooting the offhand 5 shots for that first match.
