Postal Match?

[Pitspitr]

Can jacketed bullets be fired from the rifle for postal matches and are there velocity restrictions?

There are no ammunition restrictions other than that non-mil-spec weapons must be at least .36 caliber. In the Junior Postal Match a .22 must be used.

Can't wait for the Krag to come back home.  Should be fun.  Will probably change the distance to 45 ft as that is where Ben Avery has target boots.  Should not matter much.  Guess I could cobble up a couple of wooden feet for B A's standard targets, but already schlepp too much stuff to the line

Old man once again viewing things through a fog and hoping to get some clarification.

The standard course of fire will consist of shooting at a different target from each of the four different positions with either a rifle or pistol. The positions that will be used are: Standing (off-hand), Kneeling, Sitting, and Prone.

I know standing (off hand) Kneeling and prone.  I could use clarification as too sitting.  Is this sitting on an object such as a chair of saddle, or is it sitting on the ground?

The object would be the ground in contact with your buttocks.  Modern Army allows for two different sitting positions, open legged and cross legged.  In either the Elbows rest inside of the leg near the knee.  You do not want the bony portion of the elbow in contack with the bony portion of the knee.  Strive for muscle to muscle contact

Very good Sir:  That helps!
