semtav,
in the spirit of your shoot, how about calling it 40 rod instead of 200 yd.
i might have my rods to yards conversion wrong.

Well, let's see. One rod is 16-1/2 feet. 200 yards is 600 feet. So 200 yards is 36.36363636363636 . . . rods.
So you want to call it the "36.36363636363636 Rods Postal"?
I think I'm going to have to stick with yards, thank you!

P.S.
40 rods is actually one furlong, 1/8 mile, or 220 yards.
For you guys in Oz, 40 rods is pretty close to a rounded, familiar measure. It is 201.1680 meters (whatever the heck meters are)!

Re: 2021 Frostbite 200 yd Postal
Well bruce is certainly "special", I'll give him that!
I will most like be shooting 219 yards give or take a bit. Can I be special too or do I have to sneak up closer to the target?
If we 're going to be doing this match every year I should probably put up a new target frame at 200 yards. That would be a little hard now because the ground is frozen solid. It won't work for me to set up a bench closer to the target because I would much prefer to shoot from my shack so while I'm not out of the cold I am at least out of the brutal winter winds. I guess I'm getting old!
I think I'll just call it 200 and keep it simple.

Jim,
Shooting from a heated shack cant be done. This is called a Frostbite match.

Jim,
we'll treat this like golf, get too good and we'll move you back even farther. That's why I'm at 197 yds !!

Re: 2021 Frostbite 200 yd Postal
Ok so it's heated! The window is open and it's not insulated and the heated is actually warm if you're about 6 inches in front of it! In January and February my wet patches will still freeze up and by the end of 10 shots I won't be able to feel the fingers on my ungloved right hand. Trust me I'll be cold enough to qualify for frostbite!
If I have to move back far enough I can shoot out the window from the dining room table up at the house and that would be much warmer and closer to the coffee pot!

Re: 2021 Frostbite 200 yd Postal
I may have missed something, So:
To be clear, since we are doing string measure,
can we use any target of choice?
Thanks

That's why , ( in ENGLISH ), when referring to the unit of measurement, it's spelt metres
