A Rimfire Silhouette Match consists of shooting a total of 40 steel silhouette targets at four distances using a rimfire rifle. Although the match is referred to as a "rimfire" match the ammunition used is actually limited to .22L/S/LR to avoid issues with our steel targets.  Traditionally the match is shot with a scoped rifle (although you can use iron sights if you're up for a serious challenge!) in the standing position at different size animal silhouettes at 40, 60, 77, and 100 meters.  Lately at SLSC we've been running a non-traditional "steel egg challenge" where small 2" x 1 3/8" steel egg-shaped targets are used in lieu of animal targets and are shot from benches in a seated position. Additionally, the 100 meter targets have been moved to 100 yards due to range limitations.  Typical rifles used are either bolt-action or semi-auto. It is very helpful to have your rifle sighting info for 40, 60, 77 meters and 100 yards prior to the match. Sighting shots are not allowed after the match has started; however, we do offer a short sighting-in period prior to the match.  The match at SLSC is unsanctioned but generally follows NRA Rifle Silhouette rules.
