Vermont Winter Postal League
Posted: Mon Dec 03, 2012 12:02 am
Below is the announcement for this years Vermont Winter Postal League, if you have any questions just as away. There are a few changes since last year to hopefully immprove the League and make it more attractive for clubs to participate outside of the Norther Vermont/New York Area. In addition prone will be a part of the League, last year we had 10 teams competeing. Please pass on the information to your clubs.
******** 2013 ********
Vermont Winter Postal League
4 Position Indoor Smallbore
To consist of 10 matches, 9 of which will be fired on your home range and
the scores e-mailed in to the league director and the final match to be fired
shoulder to shoulder at the Plattsburgh Rod and Gun Club range.
Special arrangements will be made for clubs or individuals who join the league from
a distance that would make it impractical to travel for match 10.
The course of fire will be 10 shots per stage, prone, sitting, kneeling and
standing at 50 ft. on the A17 target. NRA smallbore rules will apply.
Any sights (irons or scope)
New Prone Division
For shooters that would like a little extra challenge each week, or no longer have the time or energy to shoot all four positions we will have a separate Prone Division. The course of fire will be 40 shots prone. (Competitors can shoot both 4-P and Prone)
Open to teams/clubs and individuals
1st week’s scores are to be submitted by 1/26/13 and then weekly thereafter.
Handicapped / Physically challenged shooters are welcome
Match 10 will be fired on April 6 & 7 at the Plattsburgh Rod and Gun Club.
Contact Peter Visconti at VTWinterPostalLeague@Yahoo.com
(518-298-7776) to lock in a firing point for a great way to end the season.
Team captains and individual competitors will submit scores on or
before the Sunday of each week.
Team Match
The top 4 individual shooters on each team will count as the clubs team score.
Since we now have prone as an option,
an individual who shoots prone only can have his or her prone score count
towards his team’s score but with a 30 pt deduction
(so a perfect score (400) would net a 370 for the team)
Match results will be reported to team
captains/contacts and individual unaffiliated competitors weekly.
Individual Award Schedule (a little something to increase interest)
Cash prizes for individuals from the 4-P Division
will be awarded based on the scores from
Match 7 and 10 (the princely sum of $5.00 per match).
4-P Winners will be chosen from each group of 3 shooters who will be ranked
into mini-match groups according to their weekly aggregate averages. If,
after dividing the shooter list by 3, only 1 competitor is left, that person
will be merged with the next mini-group.
Prone Prizes, since Prone is new this year, and we do not want to charge anything additional for shooters competing in both divisions. We will wait to see how the math works out. But tentatively we will only give an award to the winner of their mini-group in match 10. Mini-Match groups will be in groups of six, based on shooters present at match 10. Since ties are possible a tie will go to the individual with the higher average.
The winner of the team championship (highest total aggregate for the 10
matches) will receive $ 5.00 per shooter ($20.00) and custody of the Team
Championship Plaque for one year.
Fees Teams/Clubs $5.00 for each firing team member
Individuals $5.00
