Here is the final report of results of the 2022 International
Club Team Muzzleloading Monthly Postal Matches sponsored by the
UPMLA. The matches began in January and ended in the month of
June 2022.
The scores shown in the table are the sum of the five highest
scoring targets submitted by each club for each month. The score
of the "winning" team of each month is shown in bold print.
The number of participating shooters on each team is shown in
parentheses below the scores.
The seven clubs that participated in 2022 (in alphabetical
order) are
:
- Baraga Blackpowder Bunch shooting at Ottawa Sportsmen's
Club, U.P. of Michigan
- Crumlin Sportsmen's Association of London, Ontario, Canada
- McKinley Mountainmen Muzzle Loading Rifle Club of Anchorage,
Alaska
- Menominee Ridge Runners from Wisconsin, shooting in
Menominee, Michigan
- Rio Salado Sportsmen's Club from Mesa, Arizona
- Santa Cruz Muzzleloaders shooting at Scotts Valley
Sportsmen's Club, California
- Voyageurs Muzzle Loading Rifle Club from Sudbury, Ontario,
Canada
At a monthly shoot of each club, every one of the shooters
present fires six shots at identical paper targets, one target
per individual shooter. The targets are placed 25 yards from the
firing line. Every shooter of each club who participates
is considered to be "on the team" for their club for that month.

Each club's postal match coordinator sends all the club's monthly
targets to the UPMLA scoring person. After scoring each target,
the five highest scoring shots on each shooter's target are
counted toward the target score of 50 points maximum.
From the set of targets submitted by each club, the top-scoring
five targets are selected and the scores summed to make up a
club's monthly score. Thus, there are 250 possible points each
month per club. Only the best five targets are selected because
of differing numbers of shooters in each club, and differing
numbers from month to month.
After all the targets received for the month have been scored,
the UPMLA scoring person mails score results to all the clubs in
the competition. Results list the names and scores of all
individuals from all clubs who shot during the month, and the
total team scores based on each team's best five targets for the
month.
