August 2010 e-Postal Match!

Sorry I am a couple of days late with Mr. Completely’s August e-Postal Match. Travels and Travails and all that.

For those of you that have shot them before, you know that bowling pin matches can be a lot of fun.

In a real bowling pin match, the clock doesn’t stop until you have “cleared” the table – that means you can’t just knock the pins over you have to knock all the pins off of the table.

Since we can’t use a timer and these are only pictures of pins, we will use a different scoring system.

Distance: Handguns – set the targets no closer than 15 feet/5 yards or as close to that as your range allows.  Rifles – no closer than 10 yards.

This target has 15 bowling pins and you are allowed 15 shots (1 shot per pin).

For each shot that hits in the white portion of the pin only, you can consider that pin knocked off the table and worth 5 points.

For each shot that hits a pin but touches anywhere on the black outline, consider that pin NOT knocked off the table and give yourself only 3 points.

A miss is a zero.

Something tells me we will have a lot of .22 LR entries. 🙂

For you rifle and distance shooters, calculate your score by using a multiple of 1 for each increment of 10 yards that you shoot beyond the 10-yard minimum. So, if you are shooting at 30 yards – use a multiple of 3. If you are shooting at 50 yards, use a multiple of 5 and so on.

Here is the target.  You can also download it from Targetz.com.  It is target No. 20023 on page 2 of their “Fun” targets

 

As in the past, the classes are:

 

Firearm	Class
Handgun	Class I: Rim fire with iron sights
Handgun	Class II: Rim fire with optics
Handgun	Class III: Center fire with iron sights
Handgun	Class IV: Center fire with optics

E-mail scans of targets (if you can scan) and distances/firearm setups/scores and the name/URL you want them posted under to: Curtislowe459-AT-yahoo-DOT-com no later than Friday, September 3rd.

Don’t forget, every entry you send in gets your name in for the drawing for the $50 gift certificate from Cheaper Than Dirt. The more entries you send in, the better your chances!

Any questions, you can ask in comments or send me an e-mail.

Let’s get it on…
