Ho, that's fun!

Though I don't have a 3p smallbore rifle, and also the 50' range here in Seattle is closed for the virus.  Aaaand I don't have pants, and I can't regularly score higher than 70 on an issf target from standing.  So just in general not for me lol.  (If the 50' range here was open I would totally swing by with my $200 savage and get smoked by all the kids.  Would be entertaining and educational)

But, this is a super cool idea.  I love the idea of correspondence rifle matches.

Hey Moy,  Go for it!  I don't have the expensive equipment either, but I think any 22 bolt action will do for fun and keep the Appleseed edge.  I do have an old 10X shooting jacket and kneeling roll, so I am going to shoot for fun and against myself.  I can shoot in my backyard range.  $5.00 per entry toward supporting CMP is a good cause.

If the 50' range near here was open I would definitely do this.  It's been closed since April-ish though, with no reopening in sight. So, sadly, the shortest distance I can get is 25 yards, and that's standing only.  The shortest spot I can get for prone/sitting/kneeling is 50 yards.

Definitely agree about shooting against myself.  I try to put 100-200 shots a week into proper targets and track my scores week over week.
