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.

I call the Silhouettes in the traditional Spanish, avoiding confusion with the public shooters.

Silhouette shooters are called to the bench, guns pointed downrange, flags inserted. After approaching the bench, firearms can not be touched until prompted for the live fire.

Upon command, shooters fire for 2 min. After 2 banks of animals, they return the guns to the rack, flags inserted.

There is no gun handling except for the actual 10 shots per relay.
