The rules for this contest are pretty simple. All shooting is to be done offhand, one or two hands, at twenty feet or as close as you can get to that. Rifles should be shot as close to fifty feet as you can get; offhand; a sling is recommended. You are welcome to darken the lines or add color to the bottles so they are easier to see. It is OK for you to scale the target to adjust for range distances. If you don't have access to a copy machine that can shrink and enlarge, you can change the target from a pdf to a jpg in a photo editing program, and then scale the target to adjust for your distance.
Shoot the largest bottle one time; the second bottle twice; the third bottle three times; the fourth bottle four times, and the fifth bottle five times. Then, ring the gong five times. Keep track of the number of shots and enter that on the target. The lowest score in each category wins. A perfect score requires twenty shots.

Mr. Completely has asked me to take over the organizing of the e-Postal contests next year, so I will soon be posting his recommendations on how to host an e-Postal contest, and soliciting for hosts. The current hosts will have dibs, of course, but I think we will have a few slots to fill.

So to clarify, the score is the number of shots it took to hit all the targets the prescribed number of times?
Yes, that's correct. Twenty would be perfect, thirty will be pretty darned good. I hope I can break forty.
I am definitely filling my bottles with Coke. The bottom two are close enough to invisible as not to matter.
