We have the results for our June E-Postal Match, Silhuetas Metálicas. Let me start off by apologizing to everyone for the extreme difficulty of this match! I scored what I typically score during my IHMSA matches, which is about half the animals, so it was a good approximation of the sport to some degree. Despite its difficulty, we have some shooters who would make pretty good silhouette shooters if they tried out an IHMSA match.
Class 1 – Rimfire, Iron Sights
| Shooter | Score | Pistol |
| Sailorcurt | 8 | S&W 22A |
| David N | 7 | Ruger Single Six |
| Mr. Completely | 6 | High Standard 103 w/4.5” Barrel |
| Danno | 41 | Ruger 22/45 |
| Merle | 4 | Ruger SSS .22 Mag |
| BillH | 4 | High Standard GB |
| Mr. Completely | 3 | Jennings J-22 .22LR2 |
1 Shot at 11 yards
2 An apt demonstration that Saturday Night Specials do have a sporting use, especially if you don’t mind running up really close to the target to “pop a cap” in the ass of the animal, which is about the only way you’ll increase the odds of hitting it. Still, I’d take a 3 shooting a SNS at 10 yards at those little things!
Class 2 – Rimfire with Optics
| Shooter | Score | Pistol |
| Yuri | 161 | Ruger 22/45 |
| Conservative UAW Guy | 15 | High Standard Supermatic Tournament |
| Mr. Completely | 13 | High Standard Supermatic Citation |
| Sailorcurt | 11 | S&W 22A |
| Sebastian | 10 | Ruger Mk.III Hunter 22/45 |
| Merle | 9 | Ruger Mk.II |
| LouG | 8 | Magnum Research Picuda, .22LR w/ 3x Scope |
| USCitizen | 3 | S&W 22A |
| USCitizen | 3 | Ruger Mk.III |
1Shot at 7 yards. Because Yuri shot at 7 yards, I would consdier him to be tied for first with Conservative UAW Guy
Class 3 – Centerfire Iron
| Shooter | Score | Pistol |
| Danno | 71 | Taurus PT-92 |
| BillH | 4 | S&W Model 39 (.38 Special) |
| Merle | 3 | Enfield No. 2 |
1Shot at 11 yards.
Class 4 – Centerfire with Optics
| Shooter | Score | Pistol |
| Merle | 8 | Dan Wesson 10” .357 Mag |
Class 5 – Rimfire Rifle, Iron Sights
| Shooter | Score | Rifle |
| David N | 6 | Marlin 39 Century Ltd. |
| Firehand | 6 | Martini Model 8 |
Class 6 – Rimfire Rifle with Optics
| Shooter | Score | Rifle |
| Firehand | 7 | Remington 512 (4x Scope) |
| Merle | 5 | Marlin M39A |
| Danno | 4 | Ruger 10/22 |
Bonus Class – Masochist
| Shooter | Score | Pistol |
| Mr. Completely | 36 | High Standard Supermatic Citation |
Thanks to all who shot in this month’s match. I wish I could have shot in more classes, but time was limited because of Bitter’s moving in this month, and also, once I got to the range, I realized I had left the bolt to my rifle at home! Otherwise I would have shot Rimfire Rifle, Iron Sights with all you guys. Sailorcurt is hosting the next match. Good luck to all!

Using a Jennings for a match. Now that’s hilarious. “Sporting use” indeed.

Thanks for dreaming up and hosting such a challenging match*. It was tough, but it was tough for everyone, so it really didn’t matter how difficult it was.
It’s great to see a few new shooters participating, too!

*(I WOULD keep out of dark alleyways in Reno at GBR-III, however, as several of the shooters are going to be there and you just never know………..)

Damn, apparently my entry got lost in the mail.

Send it again. I’ll make the revision.

Just resent, hopefully won’t disappear into the black hole this time.
Or is that now a racist comment? Outside of Dallas, I mean.
