2013 GAF Postal Match

Pitspitr · March 19, 2013, 02:08:02 PM

The 2013 GAF Postal Match is now open for registration and competition. See the GAF website "Competition" page for rules and the target downloads. Once again I'll waive the entry fee for competitors who register by e-mail and print the targets themselves. Competition runs now until May 31.

So I read the rules and printed the targets, but my "Target B" doesn't fit on a regular sized sheet of paper - I get 3 full targets, almost half of another and a little more than half of the 5th. Can I shoot my five shots at the 3 complete targets?

G.W. Strong · March 20, 2013, 11:27:20 AM

What size paper should these be printed on?

Pitspitr · March 20, 2013, 07:47:03 PM

IIRC (and I am going off memory now) The A and C are on 8.5X11 but the B is on 8.5X14.
Stu you really do need to put it on 8.5X14. It's awfull hard to score those targets when they're shot by someone as accurate as you if you put more than one shot on each target.

Stu Kettle · March 20, 2013, 10:11:00 PM

Not sure how accurate I'll be - can't shoot this with my trusty '92 - I'll be using an old Mauser that doesn't get out much.

I'm quite sure you'll be plenty accurate

Well, Donnie and I shot the rifle course today. Pretty sure he did better than me. I used my Krag Carbine, he used a Mosin-Nagant Dragoon. We'll get 'em in the mail monday!

Aw shucks, I just now found the post.

I could've shot the targets over the weekend.

Becasue I'm heading off to Ft Riley now.
I'll try to shoot some targets next weekend and get them to you ASAP.

Much obliged for doing the postals, Pitspitr.

Happy to do it.

I'm just not sure when I'm going get mine shot. We had my daughter's wedding over the weekend and one of the other daughters has track meets every weekend from now until the middle of May.

After a daughters wedding you cannot possibly afford to load anything. Hope you had some ammo stockpiled

G.W. Strong · April 11, 2013, 11:41:31 AM

I just need to get some of that 8x14 paper

Pitspitr · April 11, 2013, 12:38:45 PM

Maybe somebody at the school will print something on 8X14 and then realize they don't need it. Then you can "recycle" it and print on the back.

Sagebrush Burns · April 11, 2013, 08:56:51 PM

I'm feeling like a dummy. I can't find the targets to download.

Drydock · April 11, 2013, 09:10:46 PM

Go to the "Compitition" page on the grandarmyofthefrontier.org site, and click on the highlighted words in the text describing the course of fire.

Thats a first a Colonel admitting to being a dummie

The admitting not the being

Dusty Tagalon · April 19, 2013, 11:30:49 AM

Do you have too shoot both pistol & rifle, or can you do either or both?

Brian

Pitspitr · April 19, 2013, 12:15:31 PM

Either or both and as many of each as you'd like.

Sagebrush Burns · April 19, 2013, 10:31:37 PM

Thanks, Drydock.

Mustang Gregg · April 25, 2013, 08:49:07 AM

What works well (for scoring) is to print them on REAL TARGET PAPER. You can use the backsides of virgin targets. The holes are easier to score.

Oh yea, i forgot to say that if you try the copying onto target card....
The target card soaks up toner ink. A single run may be a little light.
You may want to copy it twice for DARKER bulls and scoring lines.

That will aid in scoring too.
