COMPETITION

OPEN TO: This is an invitational match. This competition is open to the top three individual competitors and top three teams of each monthly (September, October, November, December and January) postal match.

RULES: The National Standard Three-Position Air Rifle Rules will apply. Spotting scopes may be used.

AWARDS: Trophies will be awarded for first, second, and third place in the individual competition. The first place trophy will be designated as the Individual State Champion. Plaques will be awarded to the top three teams. The first place plaque will be designated as the Team State Champion

I will mail the winner trophies and plaques. I will ask the Sponsor/Coach to take a digital picture of the presentation of the trophy to the individual by the Commander/Representative of the sponsoring American Legion Post. That picture will then be forwarded through me to the Department Historian and the Department newspaper. I will attach a news release.

LOCATION: Individual/Team Range at home stations.

ENTRY FEES: None

HOW TO ENTER: Invitation Only.

TARGET SETS: Target sets will be provided by JSSP. A target set is two prone, two standing and two kneeling targets (3X20). Each target has a JSSP seal placed behind the Number 1 bull and there is a label center bottom of each target with the competitors name, school/team and position to be fired. Please ensure the targets are placed on the target traps in the correct order.

Complete all of the information requested on the Match Entry Form. Missing or inaccurate data will result in disqualification.

Only one shot is to be fired on each record bull. Competitors must fire all his/her targets at one sitting without pulling equipment off the line unless an allowance has been made for a disabled rifle.

Target sets will be assembled in the same order fired: First targets prone, second standing, third kneeling. Place team target sets together.

Ensure there is a cardboard backing behind each target. This will result in clean, easily scorable holes. Free hanging targets often tear making them difficult to score accurately. Official scoring will not be generous with torn pellet holes.

OTHER: Postal matches can only be competitive when all rules are followed. Integrity is a must! Coaches do not allow competitors to fire target sets unsupervised. All targets must be fired within a 120-minute time frame. Train your competitors to use all of their time.

Preparation Period 10 minutes

20 shots prone 30 minutes

Changeover period 5 minutes
