Well it was a great day and everyone had a shoot, she shot 5/40 and well you could have imagined the excuses we suffered all the way home the 11yr old shot from a supported position and nailed everything doing the old man proud and your truly shot a 29 best score in quite a while .all in all everyone except my bank balance felt good as she's decided that we need a 1712 Annie with 2" cut off the stock for her!!!OOhhhhhh stabbing pains in my wallet!!!!

Small price to pay for the misses not bitching about how much you spend on shooting

GLS_1956 wrote:.22 silhouette shooting is a blast. My local gun club has a .22BPCR, .22 Long Rifle Black Powder Cartridge Rifle, match monthly. .22BPCR matches require shooters to use rifles that meet the same requirements for BPCR matches, exposed hammers, weight and length restrictions as well as being designed in the 19th Century. The course of fire ranges from chickens at 25 yards/meters, pigs at 50 yards/meters, turkeys at 100 yards/meters and finally rams at 200 yards/meters. Of course the silhouettes are scaled down, where the chickens are about the size of grasshoppers and are shot offhand while the rams are about a foot in length and the same in height but weigh a couple of pounds. The latter three positions may be fired from standing, sitting, kneeling or prone at the shooters choosing. It is great fun and someday I hope to hit a chicken.
