If you are not familiar with the term, "Postal" dosen't mean shooting up a post office. It is a means for shooters in different parts of the country to compete against each other in a contest of marksmanship.
Shooters are mailed numbered targets which they shoot, at agreed upon distances, times and calibers. The targets are returned via the mail (hence "postal") and scored. Obviously, the honor system comes into play here.
I think it would be interesting to do amongst ourselves. Any takers?

This match is taking so long, the next one will be done with Phazers.

Guess what the mailman brought today?

Glad to hear it. I was worried (but secretly hopefull - I did rather poorly) it was lost.
I am really amazed at the time to deliver difference between mine and M1911's tube (10 days). If the US Postal service wanted to convince me to use private carrier, they just did. What a crap shoot.
I heard the price of a 1st class stamp is going up in June to 36 cents, and I'm still working off a roll of 34 cent stamps bought after the last hike.

We shot (again) this weekend. This time we used your targets. Will ship them out to you Tues.
Thanks for setting this up, we had fun and since we never shoot at 25 yards it was infomative as well.

Ill just end the suspense of waiting for NY to break the news and tell everyone right now that I had a negligent discharge of sorts while shooting the match. I goofed and shot the slow fire .22 target with a 9mm.
This came after a long day at a crowded range. Since we havent shot at 25 yards much we were sighting in a .22 and two different 9s at that range before and while shooting our match targets. This took place while we were also shooting for fun and chatting, eating, etc. I got a little confused at the end of the day and thought Id already shot .22 for score but still needed the 9. I was wrong. I think Im technically disqualified, for the .22s at least.
By the way, both our Glock 19s shoot about 3 inches low and left at 25 yards. The High Standard .22 is 3 inches high and right.

Is the deadline tomorrow or is the match over with the results tomorrow?
To: Shooter 2.5
I set the 23rd as the postmark deadline. All remaining participants were asked to use Priority/Express mail (UPS / FedEx works too).
I have received one tube since scoring the targets. I will score anything received by 4/27 and post scores shortly thereafter.
To: NY.SS-Bar9
OK, I'll check back Sunday for the results. Thanks for your time, effort and patience.

Last day to mail your targets !
Results to be posted 4/27/02.
To: NY.SS-Bar9
Are you going to be able to post the results? Did more shooters send in more targets? Thanks.

Funny you should ask...
I have been working on scoring for the past hour
Search for results under a new thread (so no one has to scroll through 250+ posts to see the results.
