    fast and furious or slow and methodical - which?

    Silhouette is not dying off. In some parts of the country it more poplar. Here in Texas the majority of shooters are seniors - introducing a new sport is an attempt to being in new shooters - those who want to compete with their Tacticle or 10/22 rifles. You don't need bench rest accuracy...

    fast and furious or slow and methodical - which?

    I'm a silhouette shooter and some of our disciplines are dying off. I have an idea for a new sport that uses the same targets, but is faster and lets you use modern technology. My goal is to introduce new shooters to a shooting sport that almost anyone can participate in and have fun doing it...

    Lever Action Silhouette

    The "Nationals" are next month, mid- July. Shooters are doing their final prep - sight settings, ammo selection, reloading, and all that stuff. And I'm pretty sure when I get to Raton, NM. I discover I've forgotten something. (did I bring the right shoes?) We'll shoot two Rifle Cartridge...

    "Miracle" Old Fart Shooting Glasses

    would these work for a rifle? I currently use .5 diopter in my Williams Receiver sight and the front sight is 24" away...when I can see the front sight better I shoot better. Thinking of .75 diopter pair. M

    spotting scope for the range

    Cabelas had Simons Spotting Scopes on sale two years ago. I got one - OK if you don't turn the power up. At 20x I can see .22 hits at 100 yards, but turn the power up and the field of view shrinks and image quality goes away. Tripods - Velbon is Korean for "I got you sucker". Get a tripod that...

    Bullseye Battery Recommendations

    I shoot Silhouette for the instant feedback affect. For the past six years I've been involved in Lever Action Silhouette...gun goes "bang", target goes "clang" and you score a point. No running, ducking, or reloading on the fly. Shoot iron-sights off-hand at targets 40, 50, 75 & 100 meters/yards...

    Bullseye Battery Recommendations

    A couple of years ago I shot Bulleye .22 and .45 in the Arizona Senior Olympics. I had been shooting silhouette for a couple of years and had forgotten how challenging the 25 yard match was. I did awful in the .22 match and took 3rd in the centerfire match with a Kimber .45. It was fun and we...

    The matches are held around the country. So, my best answer is to give you this link:http://www.steelchickens.com/forums/ Under Clubhouse there is a link to a map that has most (well, many) of clubs. M

    Lever Action Silhouette

    This used to be named "Cowboy" Lever Action Silhouette. But in 2018 we got rid of the Cowboy and hopefully the confusion with those who dress up and have names like "Evil Roy." We don't have names or wear costumes. We shoot at metal targets and must knock them over to score. Chickens, pigs...
