Hunter Rifle Silhouette

Contact: Tom Sermersheim, 262-673-6765


Hunter Rifle silhouette is a casual and fun shooting activity designed for the informal shooter. There are 2 courses, high power (center fire) and rim fire. The game allows a shooter to use any hunting or plinking rifle excluding magnum calibers, 22 magnums or 17 rim fires. The goal is knock down as many of the steel silhouettes (chickens, pigs, turkeys and rams) as possible within the restrictions of 5 shots per bank and 1 minute of time.

The game consists of 20 total rounds being fired. The shooter shoots 5 rounds at each of 4 different banks of targets. The ranges for center fire are 50, 100, 150 and 200 meters. The rim fire shooter shoots at 25, 50 75 and 100 yards. Any action type (bolt, single shot, semi auto, lever) is allowed and a shooter may complete with either iron or scope sights. No sight adjustments are allowed between banks. Slings are also allowed and scopes cannot be set at higher than 6 power. Given sufficient competitors in each class the top shooter earns a medal for the class. Summary score sheets are sent to each competitor after the match.

Hunter rifle Silhouette is a great way to meet your fellow club members, talk shooting while giving you a reason to take your favorite, or neglected hunting /plinking rifle out of the closet. There are generally 3 matches each year held in March, April and May. Please check the Powderhorn for specific dates and times. The match is open to all DBCL members and their guests. For further information please contact the Hunter Rifle Silhouette Director, found in the Powderhorn.
