| This month's Postal Match involves
shooting at both paper targets and metal poppers and includes movement
between targets as well as shooting from a kneeling position.
The "Special Considerations" section (below) describes
variations that are allowed for this postal match. This postal match
requires the use of an approved holster and a stop plate/timer for
timing. Setup: This match uses one AAPS "E" paper target (T1), one "B2" target (T2), one "A" target (T3), and three AAPS metal poppers (CP1, CP2, and CP3). Target T1 is placed 10' in front of shooting box A, T2 is placed 7' in front of shooting box B, and T3 is 13' in front of shooting box B and 2' to the right of T2. The stop plate is even with T1 and 2' to the right. Popper CP3 is placed 1' in front of T1. Popper CP1 is placed 2' behind T2 and 1' to the right. Popper CP2 is 2' behind CP1 and 1' to the right. All poppers are 12" to 20" off the ground (measured to the center of each popper). The center of T1 is between 30" and 36" off the ground, The centers of T2 and T3 are between 50" and 55" high. The stop plate is 30" to 36" high. The shooting boxes measures 30" x 30". Start: The competitor begins standing in shooting box A facing T1 in the surrender position. The pistol is holstered and in the loaded and ready condition. On the start signal, the competitor draws and engages T1 and then moves to shooting box B and engages T2, T3, CP1 and CP2 in any order. The shooter then moves back to shooting box A and, from a kneeling position, shoots CP3 and then the stop plate. Only two shots are allowed on each paper target. There is no limit to the number of shots that can be made on the poppers or the stop plate. While shooting from the standing position in boxes A and B, no part of the body may touch the ground outside the box. One knee must be touching the ground inside shooting box A while engaging CP3 and the stop plate from the kneeling position. Your score should be reported as a "Hit Factor" (see the scoring section below). Scoring: For this postal match, you must report your score as a hit factor. Your hit factor is your total target score (minus any misses and penalties) divided by your time. Hit factors must be reported to two decimal places. Shots in the "A" zone count 5 points each, "C" zone hits are worth 3 points each, and hits in the "D" zone count one point each. Shots in the non-scoring border area count 0 points. For any shot that misses the target or hits a no-shoot target you must subtract 10 points from you score. If more than two shots are taken at a paper target during each string, then a penalty of 10 points must be subtracted from your score for each extra shot and the hit from the extra shot is not counted for scoring. Hits in the hard cover area (the black areas of the targets) do not count for scoring and are not assessed a penalty. A hit is scored based on the location where the BB entered the target and does not include tears radiating out from the point of impact. If the BB diameter of a hit touches the line between two or more scoring areas or between a non-scoring and scoring area, the higher value should be scored. The maximum target score for this match is 45 (6 "A" zone hits at five points each and three poppers knocked down at five points each). To calculate your hit factor, divide your target score by your time (recorded to the nearest 0.01 s) and report the results to two decimal places. The higher your hit factor, the better your score.
