Postal match final.
Sorry for the delay, folks, it’s been a horrid summer and this has not been an easy couple of weeks.
Additionally, a couple of the contestants were not able to get the correct targets in time, and I had to order an NRA scoring overlay to score them properly.
I have to say, this was way more difficult than I’d thought- Not the scoring, etc., that’s easy, but the shooting, and I can guarantee that my score was more luck than any other single factor.
Anyway, here’s the results:
| Competitor | Target#1 | Target #2 | Target#3 | Target#4 | Total: |
| Al Smith | 47 | 34 | 42 | 45 | 168 |
| Countertop | 19 | 40 | 21 | 19 | 99 |
| John Tant | 36 | 37 | 32 | 36 | 141 |
| Kim Du Toit | 12 | 20 | 21 | 62 | 115 |
| Kim’s son | 11 | 9 | 16 | 27 | 63 |
| neanderpundit | 61 | 23 | 38 | 41 | 163 |
Frankly, I’m sure glad Al Smith is on our side. And I know that Kim and Son would have done far better had I not dropped this into their laps so unexpectedly.
Thank you one and all for competing, and I promise next one will be easier to do and better organized, as I learn what the heck I’m doing.

Well, I sure am glad I’m not the worst shot – and if I can beat a duToit (who surely shoots more than me) and come only 16 shots away from tying Big Daddy duToit, then maybe, just maybe I am not so pathetic.
On another note – I sure am looking forward to the pistol competition.
Just let me know when.
Heya Og, Kim du Toit mentioned that you were wondering about downloadable targets.
I like these guys.

For your next match, maybe one of these?

Most inside the circle. Or,

Most inside the black.
8 1/2 x 11 sheets could be the standard.
FYI, I haven’t shot either of those before. I use this one.

If you want free downloadable targets with particular specs, it would be trivial for me to add them to my archive of free PDF targets.

Dammit, how did I miss out on this?
I am pretty sure I specifically emailed you an invite, Spoons. I promise I’ll make sure to notify you next time. Still, if we can agree on a downloadable target, pistol is next. I’m thinking 25 foot 22 pistol.
Excuse my newness to this site. Where are these held at?
Disregard previos comment…I found out about postal matches from your main page… :) First time I have encountered that terminology…
i’m in the next time you guys do this.
Uh…I guess I should have gone to the main page. I’m a newby to this site, just following Kim’s link. I’m ready to go postal any time you all are. :)
Came over on the link from Kim’s site. Can anyone enter in the pistol postal match? What kind of sights are allowed, scopes, red dots, or iron? Sounds like a lot of fun to me……
Has anyone thought about having a pistol match for 45 acp and 22?
Thanks,
Tom
I want to play! Drop me a line for the next shoot!
