    • LCRC Clubhouse
    Thursday evening can be the time to get together with others to shoot Postals if the group elects from January through March.  General practice for the rest of the year.  Also welcome are those who have not signed up for the Postals but want to practice with their .22 rifle, .22 pistol, or air rifle and pistol.  On occasion some members practice with their centerfire pistols but it is not the focus of the gathering.  Postals are matches where Clubs around the State shoot the same type of targets and, these days rather than mail in the scores, the scores get emailed to Maine Rifle and Pistol Assoc for tabulation to see which Club did the best.   As with the Wednesday night shoots, it is a good way to socialize with members through the dark days of winter.  The time for meeting is fluid as some people show up as early as 4 and leave early and others show up later in the evening at 5:30 or so.

We will have skills to practice for part of each meeting, some personal focused shooting time, and social time at the end. We will shoot on the Defensive Shooting Range unless the weather is poor, when we go inside. If we go inside and you are not indoor range qualified, you will be using a .22 lr cal pistol.  Each woman will bring their own pistol(s) and ammunition. Instructor Alice will sometimes offer a mini-class during the meeting. Free to all members.  Group will meet April - October.  4/6, 5/4, 6/1, 7/6, 8/3, 9/7, 10/5.

    Each relay in turn will shoot a warm up followed by five scored matches. The meet allows for rifles in the following classes: Varmint for score, Hunter, Varmint hunter, AR (with brass catcher), and any factory rifle with any scope.

    Cost: The match fee is $15 although slightly higher for State Tournaments and 300 yard events. A catered lunch is available at a nominal cost. We are generally done around 3 PM. Competitors should bring their rifle and at least 50 rounds.
