Have you been wanting to compete against others on the Forums, but don't want to "bench" it?
Are you a believer in "aim small, miss small" ?
Want to test yourself with that new rifle?
Would you rather compete with a handgun?

Why not join us in E-mail Silhouette ?
We have targets/classes for .22LR, .22Mag, & .17HMR!
Hows it work?
Simple: Just e-mail
[email protected]
for rules and targets.
Print out a set, and then run off copies (need extras for practice!).
Read the rules completely, shoot your targets at the listed ranges, then e-mail your scores back to me.
Its just that easy.

So,
any takers?

Many thanks to Antlers and BigMac for their contributions towards this project, it would not be possible without you!

Pistol Shooters take note!

Silhouette shooting with rimfire, and a special set of targets for pistols that are slightly larger than the Rifle targets.

Shoot Chickens at 44 yds, Pigs at 55yds, Turkeys at 82.5 yards, and Rams at 110 yards.

For Pistol shooters, the chicken target has a "sweet spot" about 1.5 inches around, with a little more room left and right. The Ram just about fills up an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of paper. Nose to tail is a little over 10.5 inches and top of the back to the bottom is about 4 inches. Sounds like a lot of fun!

The biggest problem with this is that the PC crowd will be screaming that it's inhumaine to shoot a ram at 110 yards with a 22 rimfire...

hmmmm...ok, how the heck can I shoot 110 yards when our 100 yard range has a huge berm with target stantions exactly 100 yards from the firing line?? ( one cannot fire from behind the line, nor do I have a CAT to doze the berm back ten more yards.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

now if you wanna make it a nice tidy 300 yds..hehe.....

 

[BigMac]

OBX, I told ya that 110 yard thing was going to get sticky!

Everyone else, just get the instructions and targets. Obx22 has addressed the 110 yard range problem in the instructions! You can shoot it at 100 yards.

And if Peta has any problems with our targets send them to me. Lots of new construction around here means plenty of new foundations being poured!

OBX22 thanks for putting this together.

I haven't seen anything on the 100/110 yard thing, but if worse comes to worse, I could reduce that one target by 1/11th and everyone could shoot at 100 instead.

Let me know, Warren...

That can be done too!

 

[BigMac]

Hmmmm

I'll enter only if you have the purple dinasaur in it to shoot at.

150 yard Tiebreaker?

The range I go to has 25, 50, 75, and 100 yards. Would it be ok to shoot the targets at the next further range? Chicken at 50, pig at 75 etc.
