Here's week #3 of the standing and kneeling postal match. Hone those skills for the forced lanes. Everyone is welcome to enter.
There will be a category for scopes (any and all) and also a category for peep/iron sights.
Jackets, gloves and slings are allowed. You can shoot the card in as many increments as you want. One shot per bullseye.
I suggest wad cutter pellets for cleaner (and bigger) holes and easier scoring. If you’re using dome pellets, be sure to push the pellet head into the hole for a more accurate (and better!) score. We’ll score up and not down. So for example, if any part of the pellet hole touches the next highest ring, you score it by that ring.
Honor system for scoring. This is really for fun and a way to hopefully get one to practice the postions for the forced lanes.
Post a picture of your best card in any category by the end of the match period (usually one week). I'll keep 4 (standing/scope, standing/peep, kneeling/scope and kneeling/peep) running tallies of the scores for that match period on the initial post.
This match ends Sunday, December 20th at midnight EST.

. But after around 5 kneeling cards, I made a slight adjustment to my hold and got some surprising results. I have no idea if I'll be able to duplicate in the coming weeks!
