Interclub Black Powder Matches 2013

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. But the good news is that for 2013 Canada is back and Dallas TX and Anchorage AK have joined up.

The postal shoot works this way: Three targets are designed. The OSC group shoots its target on the 1st Saturday of the each month from January through June as part of the club’s monthly shoots. As you recall, we shoot about 18 shots at our shoots. Five of the eighteen shots are on paper and count 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 two clubs do not necessarily have the same number of shooters each month.

This year the results are as follows, winners in Bold:
