ELIGIBILITY:
Competition is open to the public. NRA membership is not required.
TIMES:
Sight-in is from 9:00 am to 9:45. Match 1 begins at 10:00 AM.
At the conclusion of Match 1 we break for lunch and conversation.
Match 2 is shot at the conclusion of lunch. The Match 2 start time will vary due to the number of shooters and the time
allotted for lunch.
Shooters may shoot either or both matches.
MATCH FEES:
$5.00 for a 40-round match, $10.00 for a 80 round match. Junior shooters (born 2005 or later) are
$2.00. If you have not shot Smallbore Silhouette at Green Valley before, match fees are waived for your first match!
COURSE OF FIRE:
Targets are made of metal and in the shape of animals. Any .22 rifle can be used and a scope is recommended. No hyper
velocity ammo due to target damage. A 40 round match consists of ten chickens at 40 meters, ten pigs at 60 meters, ten
turkeys at 77 meters, and ten rams at 100 meters. All targets are 1/5 actual size, and are arranged in banks (rows) of 5
animals. All shooting is done from the standing position and without the use of slings or artificial supports.
Following a 15-second "Ready" command you have 2 1/2 minutes to shoot the first of two banks of 5 targets,
with one shot per target, in order, from left to right. After a 30 second pause there is another 15 second Ready
and another 2 1/2 minutes to shoot the 2nd bank of 5 targets. Every animal knocked off the rail is counted for a
total score.
RULES:
NRA rules apply and NRA classification will be used. Eye and Ear protection are required.
