Ok, guys, here we are, the May e-postal match.
For those who are already pin shooters it may be a training session, for the others I hope this will let them trying this very funny discipline.
Shots have to be fast but accurate, as a bullet hitting a pin at the wrong place can make it roll on the table rather than throwing it on the floor.
The first target is here:http://reloadbench.com/pdf/files/half-inch-center-small-1.gif
Rules are simple, one shot on each target, off hand or two hands allowed but you can not lower your arm until you have shot all the targets.
Shooting distance is: 25 feets/7.62 meters (Hi Mr.C) or 10 yards wichever is available at your range.
The goal is to simulate,five shots on a pin shooting table, the ten ring represents the good area to hit in order to throw the pin away from the table. I know it's rather small but hey, we are all master shooters !
Second target can be found here: http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/5779/epostalmatchmay0002eo6.jpg
5 shots once again but on one lone poor pin.
This time you have to lower your arm between each shot but once you're aiming the pin try to not spend more than one second each time.
The goal is to simulate the first shot to a row of pins, which often is the most important.
A shot in the triangle counts 10 points.
-inside the lower body or inside the red line is 5 points
- inside the head is... 1 point.
Any hole outside the pin is worth, well, nothing.
A perfect set will render a score of 100 points.
Mark your individual scores for each target, target #1 total score, target #2 total score, the total score for both targets combined, and the name you want to use when listed in the results all on target #1 with a legible felt pen, along with the class and type of gun used.Don't write your name on the target, only the name you want to appear in the results.Email the results and pictures of target at:

CLASSES:
CLASS ONE: Rimfire - Iron Sight. Any rimfire handgun with no more than a 12" barrel. Optical sights such as red dots, lasers, or scopes are not allowed.
CLASS TWO: Rimfire - Optic Sight. Any rimfire handgun with no more than a 12" barrel. Red dots sights, lasers, or scopes can be used.
CLASS THREE: Centerfire - Iron Sight. Any centerfire handgun with no more than a 12" barrel. Optical sights such as red dots, lasers, or scopes are not allowed.
CLASS FOUR: Centerfire - Optic Sight. Any centerfire handgun with no more than a 12" barrel. Red dots sights, lasers, or scopes can be used.
CLASS FIVE: Other stuff - BB, pellet, arrows, slingshots, catapults... Let me know, but no shotguns.
ALTERNATE ENTRIES: If for whatever reason you cannot shoot the match in the manner described, shoot it anyway and send in your entry, but be sure to tell me what you did so I can include that info in the results.
MULTIPLE ENTRIES: You can enter more than once, in fact, it is encouraged. Shoot everything you own, and everything you can borrow! Take a buddy to the range, get him entered, then borrow his gun and enter that! The only restriction is that a shooter can only enter once for any given gun.Different calibers in the same gun count as one gun. For example, .38SPL and .357MAG are considered as one, as would be .44SPL and .44MAG. Different guns of the same caliber and barrel length can be entered. A .22 conversion on a .45 frame counts as a second gun, so you can take off the conversion and shoot the .45 too.
Feel free to ask any question, thank you for coming :-)

It looks like a fun match. Tell Leon to go easy on us, though!
..... Mr. C.
:-D
Don't worry Mr. C.!
I 'm not able to use a gun (or anything else!) since my shoulder was broken 2 weeks ago.
And it seems that it will take some months before shooting again...
Well, it'd be hard to use the single-shot or the muzzleloader without lowering arms between shots.
Is it just me, or are Blogger's verification strings getting ridiculously long?
My mailer informs me that somua has no account at yahoo.fr.
I'll try again.
KD5NRH: Concerning muzzle loaders, single shots, canons and else, lowering the arm will be allowed :-)

"Concerning muzzle loaders, single shots, canons and else, lowering the arm will be allowed :-)"
I have a small cannon chambered for golf balls. Had I but known, I could have loaded it with 5 marbles, once for each target....:-)
The recoil is slight enough that it is possible to hold it at arms length while the fuse burns down on 250gr of 3F black powder.
The anticipation while awaiting the explosion is an experience not to be missed.
