6 yard MPL Postal Competition Rules

Competition RULES.


The MPL 6 Yard Postal Competition.

This is an air pistol competition that can be shot at home or in a club at 6 yards by any individual that can shoot the match cards legally and safely with a signature to confirm they have been shot by the competitor with a single unsupported hand hold on the pistol at six yards distance.

The competition is open to anyone who can shoot the cards to the appropriate MPL rules as described here. The scores should be emailed to George at the end of each month using this address :- 6ydmpl@gmail.com

George will kindly compile them for you all and display them here on the BBS so you can see how things are going for you each month


Targets.

1. The competition will be shot on 6 yard Air 8 targets.

2. All the targets required to complete each 6 month series will be provided in the entry pack.

3. Spare Air 8 targets will be made available to purchase if required for practice. Bulk target supplies are available from the NSRA


Pistols and pellets.

1. Any single shot .177 air pistol that complies with the main MPL rules will be eligible for this competition - if in doubt, please check the main MPL rules.

2. Only semi-wadcutter (flat nosed) pellets should be used to give clear cut holes in the Air 8 targets. Round nose pellets will not give a clean enough cut to permit clear scoring, and cards that cannot be scored clearly should be given a zero score.

3. BB's and any pellet other than .177 calibre are specifically banned from this competition.

Shooting.

1. Six targets need to be shot each month with 5 shots on each = total possible score of 300 ex 300.

2. All targets are to be shot single handed (unsupported) at 6 yards by the shooter himself or herself.

3. The targets can be shot at any time during the month, but it is the shooters responsibility to ensure they arrive back to the scorer before the end of each competition month.

Scoring.

1/. All shooters should score their own shot targets and email the scores to us at the end of each month. Shot cards can also have the scores checked or even scored by another competitor if you have this option and prefer not to score your own.

2/. If you have a shot that is difficult to score or you are not sure of, please show it to another competitor or try and resolve it yourself. If you have any doubt - always score yourself down rather than up so you can gain a workable average you can repeat or try to improve upon in the future.

3/. A simple email such as the example below with your name and the competition month concerned with the scores displayed as shown here is all we need to record your score at the end of each month. Please also let us know what pistol and pellets you used to shoot your cards with.

Ian Bloggs. June 2013. 38 + 34 + 37 + 41 + 44 + 39 = 233. GAMO Centre. Hobby pellets.

Please send your scores by the end of each month to 6ydmpl@gmail.com

4/.You should keep your cards safe for 2 months after they are shot as some may be requested for random checking. Any requested cards should be posted to us, and if they are not available they will be given a zero score.

5/. To avoid any time wasting, any challenges for a disputed score must be accompanied with a cash payment for £5. This will be refunded in full in the event of a successful challenge, but donated to RMTC funds if unsuccessful.

Entry.

The entry pack will cost £10.00 and will include all 36 targets with the official stamp/sticker already applied to enable each contestant to complete a full 6 month competition.

A commemorative competition sticker to fix to your pistol grip will be included in the entry pack.

Packs of one larger sticker to stick on your pistol case and another 3 pistol grip stickers can be bought at any time for £1.

The rules for the .177 MPL Postal Competition for Air Rifles are the same as those for the 6 yard air pistol competitions except for the use of .177 air rifles and 6 yard air rifle targets.

Air rifles are to be shot in the standing position without support ( same as for bell target and 10 meter rifle shooting).

The targets used will be Air 7. These have five scoring targets printed on each card - one shot at each target only ( 5 shots per card).

6 cards to be shot each month to give a "possible" score of 300 ex 300 every month.

Each target pack contains 36 cards (same as the air pistol competition) to cover each 6 month series.
