In 2007 during our monthly shoots the Baraga group shot postal
targets against a Canadian Club from Sudbury (the Sudbury
Voyageurs Muzzle Loading Rifle Club). The idea of the postal
was generated by the Canadians. The response from the group
shooting at the OSC was very positive, so we continued in 2008.
Beginning in 2009 a third group of black powder shooters from
Menominee, MI, has joined us in this International Match.
Unfortunately, for 2012 the Canadian club could not particpate,
but a club from Port Huron, MI, joined up.
The postal shoot works this way: Different
targets are designed for each month. The group at OSC
shoots its targets on the 1st Saturday of each month from
January through June as part of the club's monthly shoots. As
you recall, each person shoots about 18 shots at our shoots.
Six of the eighteen are on the postal targets, with the best
five shots scored and counted towards the postal. The other
groups shoot their targets at their desiginated time of each
month for the same period.
The top five scores from each club are pitted against each
other to determine a winning team. Every shooter who
participated in the shoot is considered 'on the team'.
However, only the top five are counted. The reason for the top
five only counters is because the participating clubs do not
necessarily have the same number of shooters each month.
This year the results to date are as follows, with the
monthly winning scores shown in Bold:
