UPMLA-Sponsored Club Team Postal Matches for 2014
The UPMLA sponsors a team postal competition among several muzzle
loading clubs. The competition takes place monthly for six
months, January through June.
The six clubs competing in the 2014 season, January through
June:

Lower Peninsula of Michigan (Link to Blue

- Voyageurs Muzzle Loading Rifle Club from Sudbury, Ontario,

(Other clubs that may wish to join for 2014 or 2015 should
contact the persons listed below.)
How it works: Each month, the shooters at each club
fire six shots at a paper target 25 yards from the firing line.
The five highest scoring shots on each target count toward the
target score of 50 points maximum. Each club submits its targets
to a common scoring person. The best five targets from each club
make up the clubs' scores to determine the monthly winning club.
The scorer mails the targets back to the clubs along with a
tally of the scores for the other clubs, amd with a set of
targets for the next month's shooting.

The targets often show a good bit of imagination and artistry.
Some careful planning before shooting may be necessary to
decide how to place the shots to maximize the score.
The competition is for fun and glory. Summary scores for
the teams may be posted in the News and Notes section of the
UPMLA web site.
