What is Silhouette Competition Shooting?
The objective of silhouette shooting is simple: knock down as many silhouettes off their pedestals as possible, with each shooter taking one shot at each target. The scoring system is straightforward as well - you earn a point for knocking down the designated target and zero points for any misses. While the rules may be easy to grasp, mastering the art is a different story altogether.
Why Choose Small Bore Rifle Shooting?
These targets offer a more affordable alternative to high power rifle shooting, allowing enthusiasts to practice their skills without breaking the bank. The smaller .22 caliber also provides a different challenge, requiring precision and accuracy to hit the targets consistently. This makes it an excellent training ground for shooters looking to improve their marksmanship.
