I signed up early to host Mr. Completely’s August e-Postal handgun match, and here it is!
I got tired of looking for a good, fun targets that haven’t been used before, so I finally created my own.
This month, we are going on a North American Safari. There are 3 targets to print with a total of 15 animals to bag on this hunt.
Right click the targets below to “save as” and then print them landscaped on 8.5″ x 11″ paper.
If you have any problems with the targets, e-mail me at curtislowe459 -AT- yahoo -DOT- com.
Classes:
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 |
Rifle | Class I: Rim fire with iron sights |
Rifle | Class II: Rim fire with optics |
Rifle | Class III: Center fire with iron sights |
Rifle | Class IV: Center fire with optics |
Not that I expect anyone to shoot this with a center fire rifle, but hey – you never know, my buddy Steve may break out his EoTech-equipped M1A….
Rules:
Multiple entries are allowed and encouraged.
Handguns:
Set the targets no closer than 15 feet/5 yards or as close to that as your range allows. One shot per animal. A hit anywhere on the animal scores 5 points. A miss scores zero.
There are 15 animals on the 3 targets, so you can score a possible 75 points per entry.
Red dots are the “X” ring. X’s will be used as tie-breakers.
Rifles:
Same rules as above, but set target no closer than 60feet/20yards.
Also, we’ll add one point for every 10 yards that you add to your distance. So, each animal is worth 5 points at 20 yards, 6 points at 30 yards, 7 points at 40 yards, etc…
So, are you going to take a head shot and go for the X-ring on the turkey, or play it safe with a body shot?

Hi Curtis,
I trailed over here from Sailorcurts’s, looking for the Postal Match info. If I can get time to make it to the range this will be my first shoot to participate in. I was wondering if there are any restrictions on stance for rifle? Prone, offhand, bench, slings, etc.? I assume pistol is all two handed unless specified otherwise, but I ask regarding rifles because one of the ranges that I use requires bench use on the rifle range.
I didn’t want to shoot my target from a sandbag, if everyone else was offhanding it.
Thanks – Cool looking targets, btw 🙂

Paladin:
Welcome.
I also assumed 2-handed hold for pistol. For rifles, I guess I figured most folks would bench rest for better accuracy, but if folks want to shoot offhand maybe they can just note that and we will see if it is a tie-breaker type issue?

Greetings,
I have a question about Ruger convertibles.
Does it count as a second gun if I switch cylinders & re-shoot the match?
Thanks for hosting.

Merle:
Yes. Switch the cylinder, shoot again and enter twice!
Thanks for coming by.

Curtis,
OK, thank you! This doubles my potential entries!!!
Now if only I don’t run out of colored ink for my printer….
