Are there any large postal competition organisers in the US?
Both rifle and pistol

I saw your post on postal matches. Don Williams in Oregon, U.S. runs a seasonal postal match called the International Airgun League. I contacted him today and the winter league just started. A competitor shoots a 20 shot match and emails the scores where he tracks them and sends a status out to everyone as the season progresses. The cost to sign up is about $12-$15. There are competitors signed up from the US, Austria, Canada, etc, so it really is an international league. Plus there are divisions for junior, adult, etc.
Also, Target Shooting Canada has a free monthly match where 40 and 60 shot matches are posted on the website. I've done it a few times and its a good format also. I'll contact Don Williams to let him know you are interested.

One of the best Air rifle and Pistol Postals for you or any one is the Dorset County one which they run in the UK.
You shoot on your own range, have it scored in your own club and send by e mail to the organisers. There is a Winter and a Summer league each with 8 rounds of 30 shots, shot two rounds a month. The Winter league has just started, it has 12 divisions of Pistol and 9 divisions of rifle on declared averages with a standard from national team at the top to rank beginners at the lower level.
You are too late for the winter but if you contact them I'm sure they'd accept you for the Summer league. Its mostly UK clubs but there are shooters from the Channel Islands in it and I think I've seen Dutch shooters in it before.
Look in www.dsrpa.co.uk
Good Shooting
