Smallbore Silhoutte

Smallbore Silhouette is open to both OSC members and to the public and follows NRA rules of Metallic Silhouette for rimfire rifles. A match consists of 40 rounds shot at individual steel targets that are set at four different distances. The metallic silhouettes for smallbore are 1/5 scale, with chickens placed at 40 yards, pigs at 60 yards, turkeys at 77 yards, and rams at 100 yards.

For your equipment, it is recommended that you use a rifle with a scope that has the following capabilities:
– Adjustable parallax from 40-100 yards
– Hand-adjusted elevation turrets
– 9x or greater magnification (highly recommended)

Having an adjustable scope will make shooting much more enjoyable and will allow you to increase your skill level more quickly. Settings will very likely change for each animal, so sighting in in advance of the match will be necessary to determine the settings for each animal distance.

For ammunition, standard velocity is recommended. No hypersonic ammunition is allowed for shooting at the steel animals.

$20 per participant for all sessions (or $4 per evening)

Eye and ear protection is required.
