Cool, looking forward to joining in.
RobD:
The TMA 2021 Postal Match will start on April 1st (no foolin', seriously 8) ) and end the last day of October.
ANYONE can enter the monthly contests, there are no match fees. Submit a completed target face type for just one month, or a group of selective months, or all seven months - totally your call !
Trad muzzleloaders only, .31 to .75 in bore, iron sights, lead balls/bullets. Long gun or pistol (either rifled or smoothbore), any traditional ignition system (flintlock, percussion, match lock, wheel lock) are all welcome.
You can use multiple trad muzzleloaders - it doesn't matter if one month you shoot a rifled long gun and another month you shoot a smoothbore pistol, or that you shoot at two target face types within a month and for each target face type a different firearm is used. All that matters is that a firearm that meets the rules standards (shown above) is employed. Lots of choices!
There are no "classes", run what ya brung, we all compete as one happy trad muzzleloader fun lovin' group.

TARGET FACES ...
There are LOTS of CHOICES for which target face type you wish to shoot and submit for your monthly score.
There are TWO face TYPES - the TMA bullseye and the NRA bullseye.
Only one face TYPE for score submitted each month.
You can shoot both target face types multiple times, but submit only one of each face TYPE for score, or only one face type for score - your call.
For example, you decide to shoot both the printed TMA bullseye AND the NRA bullseye - you can submit the best scoring face for each face type. OR, you can only submit the best scoring face of just one of the target face types, either the TMA target face or the NRA target face. Your call.
Or, you may wish to only shoot the TMA bullseye - shoot as many of those faces as you like, but submit only one face for score ... dittos for the NRA bullseye face. Again, your call.
On a monthly basis, the choice of target face TYPE to shoot and submit for score is entirely up to you.
NOTE: You must have shot the target face you are submitting within the month of submission. If you shot a target face in April, it can only be submitted in April.
You do not have to submit any target face types for score every month. You can shoot just one month of the match and submit just one target face for score.
All up to what you wish to do. This is a very flexible postal match that allows you to compete just one month, or multiple months, or all seven months.
There will be monthly winners for each of the two face types, and an overall year winner for each face type, too.
The more months you submit a target face type, the higher your year's aggregate score will be for that target face type.

---> As usual, all targets are to be shot offhand at a measured 25 yards, five shots per target.
---> Bullet holes must completely break a scoring line to count for the higher value.
All target faces Must be secured to a cardboard backing - stapled, taped, glued, whatever - target faces must be held Tight to the backing as this will insure clean holes that all can see. There WILL be forthcoming holes in your target faces, right??? ;D
Submit your best scored target face by emailing an image of it to: score@TradMLA.org. Targets must be filled out with name, date, rifle or smoothbore, flint or percussion, caliber, and the total score. All scored targets must be email dated no later than the last day of the month the face was scored.
Down below please find links to two of the target faces (the TMA bullseye and the TMA Mike Fink) we'll be using. Just print the target faces out. Don't have a printer? Copy the two target face files to a thumb drive and bring it either to a friend (with a printer!) or a library or Staples, and have a few copies printed.
The second and OPTIONAL NRA bullseye face must be purchased. It's the NRA TQ-4 or TQ-4(P) (100 yard small bore target face, but will be shot at the same 25 yards). We've added in this store bought target face for folks who don't have access to a printer or just would prefer shooting an official NRA target face.
The SPECIALTY target face is the printout "Mike Fink" that's pretty much a TMA yearly tradition. It will be announced which one month that face will be shot. We may decide to shoot that target as a two man team effort, more on this later.
Let's have some 2021 fun for a change! :wave :shake :*:
PLEASE POST ON THIS THREAD IF YOU WILL SHOOT AT LEAST ONE MONTH OF NEXT YEAR'S SEVEN MONTHLY MATCHES

I'm in, for all of them, again. :applaud
Clarification 1: in paragraph 3, you said you can only post one target face but in paragraph 6 you say you can submit 2 target faces.
Clarification 2: the distance is 25 yards even for the NRA 100 yard target face.

I'm in too! :wave
The NRA 100 face is used as one of the target face choices, but all target fact types are to be shot offhand at 25 yards.
I've reworded the section on target face types, please let us know if it makes better sense, thanx!
