match

A match is a tool for starting a fire. Typically, matches are made of small wooden sticks or stiff paper. One end is coated with a material that can be ignited by friction generated by striking the match against a suitable surface. Wooden matches are packaged in matchboxes, and paper matches are partially cut into rows and stapled into matchbooks. The coated end of a match, known as the match "head", consists of a bead of active ingredients and binder; often colored for easier inspection. There are two main types of matches: safety matches, which can be struck only against a specially prepared surface, and strike-anywhere matches, for which any suitably frictional surface can be used.

    Quantified Performance Yuma Match Masters

    I've been shooting Quantified Performance matches at Yuma, at least annually, I'm going to try to make a few more events before it gets too hot to do so. The stages are challenging, and it's a great time. It's $25 to shoot, I usually go through about 200 rounds. My last match didn't go so hot...
