What is a postal match? More.....

There has been such an influx of Enfield rifles that it just BEGS to have a match for these rifles.  Judging from the great number of back and forth comments on the web and the forum, it seems like everyone into Mil-surps has at least ONE (or 2 or 3 or …..).  So, now is everyone’s big chance to show off their shooting skills with their newest toys…

Again, there have been changes to the rules, so read them completely through before shooting and contact us if you have questions.

Target rules:

1.      As of Match #5, use 6 targets for warm up/practice etc.  Send us the best 3.

2.      Make sure that the black area of the bull is no larger than 6 inches across

3.      Each shooter may submit ONE set of 3 targets for each category.   Regardless of the number of categories you send, each shooter has ONE door prize entry chance.
