**** Levergunner Postal Match Poll ****
Question for the "peanut gallery". t.r. and Merle have voiced legitimate concerns with the subject match. I wonder if being more inclusive (oh what a politically correct term...), would have more participation, by MORE participants?
So, by extension, here's a list of possible categories to add to the levergun match...
.22s
Rifle calibers
Scopes
Add your suggestion here:
I'll give this a couple of weeks, and after the middle of the month, do a poll to run for a month, and the new, revised, or the same ol' same ol', match will begin in January, 2017! Any complaints... take a number!

Re: **** Levergunner Postal Match Poll ****
I think defining categories would help to:
That would be 6 categories.
The key is that if a person feels like their firearm is handicapped by however it is set up, not to get bent out of shape....not enough prize money at stake here to fuss about...

- a) allow more folks to participate with their favorite shootin' iron, and
b) define categories so several different types of leverguns would be able to win.
- Rimfire @ 50 yards,
Pistol caliber @ 100 yards (might just list 'em for clarity ), and
Rifle caliber @ 100 yards (might just list 'em for clarity )
That would be 6 categories.

Re: **** Levergunner Postal Match Poll ****
Maybe 50 yards off-hand for irons and 100 yards off a rest for scopes ones....?
That way the shooter is the weak link at 50 yards and the 100 yards with scope is more accuracy-testing the gun itself...?

Re: **** Levergunner Postal Match Poll ****
I'm good with the way it was, or whatever way youse guys decide. We had so much rain here in Idaho panhandle that what little sunny days I had to use up doing honey do's. Will try harder to make November a postal match month for sure. Sorry Oct. Got away from me..

Re: **** Levergunner Postal Match Poll ****
I've been involved with firearms competition my entire adult life (40+years) and one thing I have learned......once the rules are made, everyone wants to change them to suit their own personal preferences....you know......they want the "edge", whether it's the ammo used, firearms used, distance, whatever.
I personally thought Griff's list of rules was already pretty much straight forward. He kept the rules simple with one style of firearm and one style of target and one distance. Your either "in" or your "not".
As for making it more interesting to gather more participants, the only thing I can see adding is maybe .22 rimfires....but still....keep the rules as they were.....once a game gets "slopped" up, it's no longer interesting.
It's why this country is so messed up....every ethnic or speciality group want things "their way"-------------------6

Re: **** Levergunner Postal Match Poll ****
Perhaps a distinction between tube fed (or single shot) and later "modern" levers such as the Browning BLR or the Winchester M88 family?

Keep it simple the first time and refine more the next time if you get enough intrest .

Re: **** Levergunner Postal Match Poll ****
As initiator of the original competition my preference is to keep it as it is instead of heading off on endless tangents. See the rules.

Not endless tangents, but limited tangents based on interest from potential shooters.
Offering a reasonable number of options to bring in more shooters should be weighed against limiting entries.

I guess I don't see how adding non-pistol calibers would hurt. It's still leverguns only.KiwiKev wrote:As initiator of the original competition my preference is to keep it as it is instead of heading off on endless tangents. See the rules.

Griff with hunting season and a course to earn my Black Badge I completely forgot the postal match. If you hold one I will endeavor to enter in Jan. I am shooting a Rossi open sights in 45 Colt.

Re: **** Levergunner Postal Match Poll ****
The only thing I would change is the cartridges allowed.
1. Any open sighted rifle, any cartridge
2. 50 yds./meters
3. 10 shot groups
4. Same color target for everyone, black
5. All offhand

Re: **** Levergunner Postal Match Poll ****
I think the match should be kept as they set it up. Start different matches and run it the way you want to.
