Q32020 Postal Match Series: Five Position Rifle

You can purchase packs of 100 targets from any number of target printers. The going rate is about $14 per pack.

As a last resort, you can use a downloadable A-32 from Bison Tactical, but it may be more difficult due to the scaling.

Five-Position

After zeroing the rifle on the top-middle target, you will proceed to fire four shots at each other bullseye from standing, kneeling, squatting, sitting, and prone. 

Top-Left: Standing

Top-Right: Kneeling

Bottom-Left: Squatting

Bottom-Center: Sitting

Bottom-Right: Prone

Again, only fire four shots from each position. This requires only twenty rounds for a maximum possible score of 200. 

You should check and mark your target between each string to eliminate any misses that might have strayed into another bullseye (i.e. a missed standing string hits a ring in the squatting bullseye).

You have a maximum of two minutes per four-shot string. 

You may start each string from standing in the low ready position. Do do not have to stand up between each shot. When the timer starts, you will get into the required position, aim the rifle, and begin your string.

The best score wins the division.

Rifle Classes

Per the Postal Match rules, there are five divisions:

Centerfire Irons – Any centerfire rifle with conventional iron sights.

Registration and Scoring

There is no fee to submit one target to this match, however, a small contribution is certainly appreciated. You may purchase a match entry via the shop on our support page.

Anyone who purchases an entry this way may submit additional targets, one for each division they want to compete in.

Scores will be submitted to the designated matches scoring group with our community at The Marksman’s Quarter. 

If you are not already a member of The Quarter, purchasing a match registration comes with an invite to join the appropriate group so you can participate.

Scoring is on the honor system. An official submission to the scoring group requires a class designation, a brief description of your equipment, date & time, and a detailed photo of the completed match target for scoring.

Additional photos, especially those recording times on a shot timer or app, are ideal supplements. Video submission of any quality is encouraged, if possible. An after-action report detailing your experience is also welcome.

Deadline

This match begins on July 1st 2020 and ends midnight (Eastern Standard Time) on Sunday, August 30th, 2020.
