The Women On Target^® Postal Matches are conducted annually, January 1 through December 27. The match is open to all female shooters, regardless of age, but each shooter may only enter once per calendar year. Membership in the NRA is not required but is encouraged. Click here for the postal match conditions, rules, and more information.

A postal match is an exciting and easy way to participate in national competition, but on an informal basis. You – and maybe a friend or two – shoot the specified course of fire at your home or local range, and mail (hence, the name postal) your score results to the NRA. NRA then ranks all the participants’ scores across the country and distributes awards based on the number of participants that enter each match.

We have annual Women On Target^® postal matches for all of your favorite firearms – pistol (rimfire match, centerfire match), rifle (smallbore match, highpower match), and shotgun (trap match, skeet match, sporting clays/5-stand match). Participate in one discipline, two, or all three!

Ladies – come join us for this year’s Women On Target^® Postal Matches!

Once again I am honored to have been able to compete in the NRA’s 2009 Women On Target^® National Postal Matches. My, how the competition has grown! Just by looking at all the ladies that entered, it’s obvious the word has gotten out.

There can be no doubt to anyone within the shooting industry that women’s participation in shooting sports is growing, and much of the thanks for that goes to the NRA.

Thank you NRA for providing such a wonderful shooting opportunity for women throughout the United States to compete nationally in the Women on Target^® National Postal Matches. This allows people such as myself – a wife and mother of four children – the opportunity to shoot at a local range, and thus be able to compete nationally, without all the traveling and other expenses that would otherwise make it impossible for me to participate.

I had a fabulous time shooting and look forward to competing again this year. I encourage any and all who shoot in any of the venues available in the Women on Target Postal Matches to compete and give it a shot! Who knows; you might have what it takes to win it all. Remember to always have fun, be safe, smile, and good Luck with your shooting!

I’m proud to represent Texas DIVAS-Women Outdoors Worldwide organization in the Women on Target^® National Postal Match competition. Thanks to the NRA Women on Target^® programs, we have the opportunity to compete with women across the nation, and to introduce more women to the shooting sports.

I have only been shooting a few years, and this was my first formal competitive event. Shooting competitively has always been an objective of mine and I’m already planning for 2010. Good coaching, a lot of practice and the moral support of my DIVAS paid dividends for me!

Plus, I’m so excited that I won 3rd Place … I don’t even have the good sense to be humble!!!

NRA Women on Target^® National Postal Matches are a creative competition to involve women shooting across our country! The DIVAS realized this was a wonderful way we could enter individually while shooting together. I encourage women to get involved shooting and participating on any level at your local range.

I look forward to entering more categories in the 2010 NRA Women on Target^® National Postal Matches.

A Special Thanks to Marietta Johnson, DIVA and NRA Life Member for introducing our organization to NRA Women on Target Postal Matches.

I first learned about NRA Women on Target^® National Postal Matches from Judy Rhodes, founder of DIVAS-Women Outdoors Worldwide. The idea of shooting at the local range with some of my girlfriends appealed to me.

I plan on participating in more categories this year! We started the last month of the season 2009. I’m looking forward to starting early this year and enjoying the sunny, warm days of practicing!

Shooting during Texas winter conditions in December … Marksmanship is best learned under adverse conditions!

The Women on Target^® National Postal Matches are an amazing way to reach out to all parts of the country. So many women shoot and this is one way to show what they’re made of. I liked the fact that I could shoot at my leisure and at my own range. I would definitely enter the match again. I hope we get more women for next year!

This was my second year to participate in the Women On Target Smallbore 3-Position Postal Match. I was happy to see the increase in women participants this year. It is encouraging and I believe a sign of success in the future for this program. I plan on participating every year. I think that the NRA Women on Target^® National Postal Matches offer a great opportunity for shooters to showcase their skills.

Katie Bridges

Thanks for the opportunity to share with others. I think that the NRA Women on Target^® National Postal Matches offer a great opportunity for shooters to showcase their skills. I enjoy any chance to shoot but it is especially enjoyable among peers. I believe that this is a good venue for promoting the NRA to women. Keep up the good work.

Shooting has taught me to concentrate, work hard, and be dedicated. I am inspired by my Dad and coaches that have spent so much time with me. I have learned so much from being involved in this sport.
