« on: December 28, 2015, 03:09:48 PM »
There will be a .22 silhouette match 0900 Sunday 3 January 2016 at the Metallic Silhouette Range at Koko Head Public Shooting Complex.

The Silhouette Range opens at 0800 if you want to get in some practice before the match. Cost is only $5 and it covers all day range fees, match fees and lunch (must compete to eat). When you register at the booth, declare that you will shoot the match and your fees are waived until match registration. All shooters and spectators are required to wear eye and hearing protection.

A total of 40 rounds must be fired. Range commands are electronic. The course of fire is in 4 stages. Each stage of fire is 10 shots per yard line fired in two strings of five rounds in 2 minutes and 30 seconds. 10 chicken targets at 25 yards, 10 pig targets at 50 yards, 10 turkey targets at 75 yards. 10 ram targets at 100 yards. Sighters are done on the “swinging targets” one relay prior to your call to the line.

All rifle shooting is shot from the unsupported standing position. Pistol shooting is done from the Creedmoor position or unsupported prone. Rifle are classified by “light” (under 8 lbs) and “heavy” (8 lbs and over) with or without optics. Match rifles are not really required. Any safe and reliable .22 that can hold 4” groups at 100 yards may be used. Shooters may enter more than one category, but must pay an additional $5 per gun.

Competitors are expected to help set up the targets unless you exhibit a serious medical condition. Lunch is provided, but pot luck side dishes and snacks are welcome.

I've shot this match a few times and it is a lot of fun. Last time I was there lunch was a big prime beef burger on the hibachi. YUM!!! I don't see how they don't lose money on each match.

I purpose built a rifle for this match. But then I never shot in the match since.  :rofl:

I've done this several times, and always had a blast.  And, seeing as there's nothing else on my calendar, maybe it's time to get my Mossberg out of the back of the safe!
