I for one would like to shoot in a postal match that didn't have to be witnessed because I live below Houston. When you have too many rules and make everything so difficult it takes all the fun out of it. I think that if it is an ASSRA run match you should have to be a member to shoot.
     As for cheating. If a fellow wins a match, the results don't mean anything to anyone but himself, and if he cheated then he only cheated himself.

Of course everyone knows how I feel about the Postal Matches so anyone that has been reading all this stuff please give it a try, one way to be sure that it works is to participate in it. KAF is putting a lot of time and effort into trying to set theses matches up as official ASSRA events, and if he's successful I've already volunteered my help. One way to show your support is to shoot in the events. This can only be a good thing for both the members and the ASSRA, it's a win-win situation for both, but the shooters have to support KAF and the matches.  Forget about the cheating thing, it's no big deal, after all we're not shooting for a 1960 T-Bird., are we ?.  Wink

Guys A member from up north, WI
Has said he'd do the postals.

Marty is a good guy> Fair and very straight forward on things.

He is setting up the regular postals and a 100 yd bench postal also.


I surely hope you guys that said you wanted this do take part, and heck maybe some more guys too.

Just remember when the shoots are outlined, just bite the bullet and go by the guidlines,  ok?
Give stuff a chance and we'll have fun.

Keith,

  Yep! Mary will make a good Schuetzenmeister for the postals. Glad to hear he'll be in charge. He pulled my bacon out of the fire a coupla times the first year I ran the WSU postal.

If there is no witness requirement I will join ASSRA and participate in the postal matches.

Hmm, no one ever considered me the smartest kid on the block, but here we have people that are saying "I'll do the work", we have lots of people that want to shoot- what's the big problem. Those that want to do the work, set the rules and lets getting shooting- we are burning valuable daylight. Remember how easy it was as kids to get things done- some one had a idea, all agreed and it happened, kids just may have something up on us adults?

Gentlemen,

As the WSU Winter League is winding down I reckon some of the Cody boys, myself included, would shoot an ASSRA postal match. If a witness is required we have the good Reverend Robinson who is happy to serve in that capacity.

Would WSU participation be viewed as "reaching across the aisle"?

Gute Ziele,

Steve

Well,
I don't know if  "reaching across the aisle" has anything to do with it, as long as the postal matches are fired according the published rules in the latest  ASSRA rule book. Read page 1 Article 1 in the current issue of the rule book. I don't see a problem.

The postal matches should be available to any and all ASSRA members, no matter what other associations they may belong to.

I shot last year's WSU Winter League and it was fun, thanks Pete. So my team shot the ASSRA 22 Postal to continue the fun. I didn't finish but my friends did and have heard nothing about the Match after sending in their targets.
I shot the WSU Winter League this year and it was fun, thanks Brent. So the thread topic caught my eye for this year's ASSRA postal match. After reading the previous 4 pages and guessing at the contents of the deleted posts I think I'll just shut up. Having just renewed my membership for the coming year I'll take consolation in supporting E.G. in exchange for the magazine and pass on  the postal matches.

How could something like that happen, guys paying the entry fee to shoot an ASSRA sanction Match, and no one sees the results ?. 

What good is it to shoot in an association sanctioned match if the results are not recorded and published in the Journal for all the shooters to see ?.

I have no idea what happened last year or who was reasonable for the match, but I can understand shooters being upset about shooting a match and not knowing the results. May as well just shoot at your local range just for the fun of shooting. 

Hopefully it wont happen again, why not give it another try under the new guy that's running it now.

By the way Duke, 
There was only one post deleted, it was the nasty one about members maybe cheating in the Postal Matches. but it's not really gone, if you want to see it go to post # 16. So you didn't miss much.

Duke,

  Know what you mean about not seeing any results. Three(?) years ago we did the same as you guys and no results were ever published as far as I ever saw. So we didn't enter again.

  Of course the Journal was going thru some tough times so they might have gotten lost in the shuffle.

  The other bad thing is that the match had an ending date in May, and the results in past years didn't show up till the Nov. issue IIRC. SO it isn't hard to see what might have happened.

  That's why I suggested that the scores be posted on here asap, as well as publishing them in the Journal. Possibly Marty will consider this when he posts the rules he wants to run the Postals under.

PETE
