A silhouette is a steel profile of an animal (chicken, pig, turkey, or ram) standing on a pedestal. The object of the game is to knock as many silhouettes as possible off the stand, shooting one round at each silhouette. It is a very simple competition, with very simple scoring: Knocking an animal off its stand counts as a hit.
Although silhouette is an easy game to learn, it is not an easy game to master. The animals are rather small and the distances can reach out a bit; you must shoot offhand (standing); a moderate breeze can move a bullet or a pellet the width of an animal; your concentration becomes more difficult to hold as you knock down five in a row or with a close miss. Silhouette is an endless challenge that makes you a better shooter!
This is a reoccurring event every Week- we intend to host this practice barring weather or extraordinary barriers preventing the event from occurring in a safe environment. Heavy fog, severe weather or other acts of nature could force a postponement.
