******** 2013 ********
Vermont Winter Postal League
4 Position Indoor Smallbore
To consist of 10 matches, 9 of which will be fired on your home range and
the scores e-mailed in to the league director and the final match to be fired
shoulder to shoulder at the Plattsburgh Rod and Gun Club range.
Special arrangements will be made for clubs or individuals who join the league from
a distance that would make it impractical to travel for match 10.
The course of fire will be 10 shots per stage, prone, sitting, kneeling and
standing at 50 ft. on the A17 target. NRA smallbore rules will apply.
Any sights (irons or scope)
New Prone Division
For shooters that would like a little extra challenge each week, or no longer have the time or energy to shoot all four positions we will have a separate Prone Division. The course of fire will be 40 shots prone. (Competitors can shoot both 4-P and Prone)
Open to teams/clubs and individuals
1st week’s scores are to be submitted by 1/26/13 and then weekly thereafter.
Handicapped / Physically challenged shooters are welcome
Match 10 will be fired on April 6 & 7 at the Plattsburgh Rod and Gun Club.
Contact Peter Visconti at VTWinterPostalLeague@Yahoo.com
(518-298-7776) to lock in a firing point for a great way to end the season.
Team captains and individual competitors will submit scores on or
before the Sunday of each week.
Team Match
The top 4 individual shooters on each team will count as the clubs team score.
Since we now have prone as an option,
an individual who shoots prone only can have his or her prone score count
towards his team’s score but with a 30 pt deduction
(so a perfect score (400) would net a 370 for the team)
Match results will be reported to team
captains/contacts and individual unaffiliated competitors weekly.
Individual Award Schedule (a little something to increase interest)
Cash prizes for individuals from the 4-P Division
will be awarded based on the scores from
Match 7 and 10 (the princely sum of $5.00 per match).
4-P Winners will be chosen from each group of 3 shooters who will be ranked
into mini-match groups according to their weekly aggregate averages. If,
after dividing the shooter list by 3, only 1 competitor is left, that person
will be merged with the next mini-group.
Prone Prizes, since Prone is new this year, and we do not want to charge anything additional for shooters competing in both divisions. We will wait to see how the math works out. But tentatively we will only give an award to the winner of their mini-group in match 10. Mini-Match groups will be in groups of six, based on shooters present at match 10. Since ties are possible a tie will go to the individual with the higher average.
The winner of the team championship (highest total aggregate for the 10
matches) will receive $ 5.00 per shooter ($20.00) and custody of the Team
Championship Plaque for one year.
Fees Teams/Clubs $5.00 for each firing team member
Individuals $5.00

Vermont Winter Postal League 2013
Week 1 Results
Welcome to the 2013 edition of the Vermont Winter Postal League. Below you will find the results from week one. The league has grown to 13 teams this year, up from 10 last year. We can actually now boast that we almost run coast to coast along the Northern Part of the U.S. from the State of Washington to Vermont. We would like to welcome to our League the Capital City Rifle and Pistol Club and the Jamestown Rifle Club. We have 80 shooters in the league this year, and a new prone division. I hope that this growth and addition make us one of he best leagues in the country.
Congratulations to Eric Boos of the Capital City Club who is our top shooter this week with a score of 397. In our Prone Division we had four shooters with a perfect score. In Team Competition Whitehall as usual finds itself at the top of the league, again this year, with an amazing score of 1577.

I am normally quick with a response via my cell phone e-mail. With regard to the prone division shooters kindly include your total number of center shots fired for Match 7, only. This will be used to break ties for that match. The total number of center shots fired in match 7 and match 10 will be used to break any overall end of the year standings.

Those club’s that are mailing in targets do to distance please be sure to have your targets mailed in plenty of time to arrive prior to that weekend. Relay times and additional information on Match 10 to follow.
