Winter Postal Competitions

During the colder months, the DCSRA hosts Winter Postal Competitions. These events are a great way to stay engaged and maintain your shooting skills when outdoor range time may be limited. Unlike traditional "shoulder to shoulder" matches where everyone shoots at the same time and place, postal competitions allow shooters to fire their competition cards at their local affiliated club ranges. The scores are then submitted to the DCSRA for compilation and ranking against other clubs and shooters in the county. Entering these competitions is easy—simply coordinate with your club's officials.
