techmike Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Announcing the first annual Tactical22.Net Postal Match! A postal match is where you download a target, print it, dust off your favorite Tactical 22lr firearm, and shoot your best 5 shots at 50 yards. You then mail the target, (this is the postal part), to the judge. The winners are determined by: Numerical scoring of the target, number of X ring hits, and finally group size, if needed. Postal matches are fun because they allow members from all over to have a friendly competition without having to travel. PRIZES – First place wins the coveted Tactical 22 TOP SHOT hat, and a Brownell's gift certificate. 2nd through 5th place will receive the less coveted, but still really cool Tactical 22 hats. Winners will also be asked to submit a picture to be posted on the forum for bragging rights. RULES: Must be a member of Tactical22.net forum.Ammunition – any flavor of .22lr ammo. Please, no .22 mag, .17 HMR, .223, ect. Range – 50 yards – we are working on the honor system here guys. If I get a target with powder burns, even I will be suspicious.....Position – Any - prone, off hand, bench – all OK – this is a fun match!Rifle – Any Tactical 22 – Defined as: A semi-automatic .22lr caliber rifle that has at least 3 characteristics that Senator Diane Frankenstein hates.... black color, pistol grip, detachable magazine, flash suppressor, bayonet lug, looks evil to liberals, ect – you get the idea. Please – no bolt action tack drivers.Target – Posted below, download and print – target must print out on a standard sheet of printer paper – 8.5x11â€.How to enter – Follow the above rules, and mail your target with your name, user name and $1 to:Mike WeigandtPO Box 51Toledo, OH 43697 USAEntries must be postmarked between 8/17/2013 and 8/31/2013. Judging will begin promptly on 9/7/2013, and winners will be announced as soon as judging is completed. All entries become property of Tac22, judges decisions are final.Privacy – Only forum user names will be posted, names and addresses will only be used to mail prizes to the winners, then will be discarded.Pictures – winners and contestants are encouraged to post pics of your firearm, range & even yourself , preferably with a pretty girl/woman holding your rifle. If you are a pretty girl/woman and wish to enter – that would be outstanding! I think that does it, it you have any questions/comments please PM techmike.Target printing tip - Save the target file to your computer, then open it, (default is usually windows photo viewer) then click print (twice). The image will be larger than the page, uncheck "Fit to Frame", then print it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techmike Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Faded is a-ok, good luck! What was the size issue caused by?TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northerner Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 i dont know what caused it to print in a different size, its been messed up for awhile but i can correct size in the controls.had to print it out at 124% size which is still a bit small but its okay.would it be against the rules to paste on a 'shoot-n-c' target onto the black center circle? it would be the exact size of the '8' ring.

asmurff Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'm using Windows Photo Viewer. I got it to print the correct size by setting it to letter instead of the default 8x10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wks92 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 If the first postal match goes well, can we have a Tacticool bolt action tack driver class? :P I would love to shoot a friendly postal match with my new trainer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techmike Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Nice shooting! To answer your question, sorry, but no. It is a Postal Match, not an email match, and everyone has to use the same target, otherwise it would not be fair. TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
