What Is Metallic Silhouette?
Metallic Silhouette involves shooting at steel targets shaped like game animals at varying distances, seeking to knock the metal targets over.
It's not just punching holes in round paper targets. The irregular shapes of the targets, the team work and the hit- or -miss style of the competition makes Silhouette shooting a unique experience in shooting sports.
This is a sport that you can begin with what you probably already have: any .22lr rifle. Shooting .22lr is still a great bargain compared to larger calibers.
Course Of Fire
A regular match is a 40-rounds of ammo event, engaging 10 rounds for each animal. Five targets at a time within a set time limit. (2:00 minutes ½ scale targets 2:30 for 1/5 scale).
ONE shot per target. Hit or miss, you move on to the next target. High score is most targets knocked down.
All shooting is done standing, with the firearm unsupported. No special clothing, no slings. (A loose fitting vest is allowed).
Everyone is welcome!
What You Need
A firearm chambered in .22lr. At least 40 rounds of ammunition. (More if you want to practice, too.)
All Firearms should have some sort of chamber flag or open bolt indicator.
All spectators, spotters, and shooters must use eye and ear protection.
Beginners Are Welcome!
This can be a great family sport, and new shooters or first time competitive shooters are always welcome.
We only ask for safe firearm handling skills.
Silhouette Is A TEAM Effort
A Metallic Silhouette team consists of a shooter and a spotter. This is a somewhat unique opportunity for Parents and Grandparents to participate with children and compete in the same sport.
Teams can always use the same gun, simply changing roles as spotter and shooter.
No spotter, no problem. Shoot solo or we will squad you up with another shooter.
DISTANCES
Standard target distances at TSF are measured in METERS (EXCEPT FOR THE RAM- 100 YARDS)
