I'm new at this. Please clarify for me. 
Can we choose either 25 or 50 yards, or do we have to shoot and submit both?
Which target do we submit? So many on the download list.

You can choose which Matches you would like to shoot...  Some folks (like me) normally shoot only the 25 yard O/H Rifle Match,,, but sometimes I shoot the 50 yard Rifle as well.

Thank you Joe!

Just to be sure I understand;  The new rifle match is benchrest  style at 50 and 100 yards?  and everything else is off-hand?

Hi Steve,,,, Yes, the Offhand Matches are separate from the 50 & 100 Yard "Rest" Matches...

You can shoot either of the "Rest" Matches (50 & 100 Yards) off the bench, or off the Cross Sticks,,, your choice...

It won't make any difference in the scoring as this is a "choice of Rest" Match...

Also, I might add if anyone is wondering; You can shoot either the 50 yard, or the 100 yard, or both... I'll probably shoot both. 

[SharpStick]

Let me get this straight.

With my rifle I could shoot 4 targets each month (except July) - 25yds offhand, 50yds offhand, 50yds benchrest, and 100yds benchrest?
Or do I shoot the benchrest targets only once for 50yds and once for 100yds?

And I mail in the offhand targets and the benchrest targets I score and report on forum?

That is correct SharpStick 

Now,,, If everyone was agreeable and would rather just score their own "Monthly" targets (offhand and "From a Rest Targets) and report their score(s) here on our Forum, that would be fine with me as well... Save you all envelope and postage....

NOTE: The Only Targets I really need mailed to me is the "TMA National Championship Silhouette Targets" after they are shot, and the Annual "Mike Fink (Partner Shoot) Targets"

Would this be acceptable to all of you?

You could actually just post your scores here on our Forum for your Monthly Match Targets you shoot...

EXAMPLE: Lets say I shot these matchs in April, this would be how I would report them;

Ohio Joe
25RFO - 45-2x
50RFO - 42-0x

50RFR - 48-3x
100RFR - 44-2x

Would all of you rather do it this way? It's okay with me.

No offense to anyone on the forum but I trust Joe's scoring a lot more than  I  trust my own. Besides the USPS needs the business.

Well thank you Nessmuk 

Actually (on our monthly matches) scoring our targets aren't that hard, the ball has to at least touch the Scoring Ring to get the higher point value... [I'll also note here, that on our TMA Silhouettes the ball only has to touch the outer edge of the Silhouette to be counted as a knock down hit & your Silhouette Targets need to be mailed to me for scoring]...

If you prefer to mail your monthly targets to me for scoring and posting - that is fine,,, and if a person wants to score their own - as said earlier, I'm okay with that too, just post your score on that board I'll have up, and I'll consolidate them. 

You guys decided how you want'a do it.  I'm in either way for either one, or both... 

[prairie dog]

I would be OK with self scoring if a photo of the target was also posted.  It would save on postage.

I think posting a picture would be a good idea along with your score. 

I didn't see your post until this morning, Steve... Our Internet was out from yesterday morning until sometime during the night when they got it all fixed (sometime after I went to bed last night).
