Rimfire Silhouette

A Rimfire (also called small bore) Silhouette Match consists of shooting a total of 40 steel silhouette targets, at various distances, while standing using a scoped rimfire rifle. Alternatively, an Egg Challenge may be run, in which all targets are replaced with steel eggs and fired from a seated position. Typically rifles used are either bolt-action or semi-auto. It is very helpful to have your rifle sighting info for 40, 60, 77 and 100 meters prior to the match. Sighting shots are not allowed during the match; however, typically a 20 minute sighting-in period is offered prior to the match.  The match at SLSC is an unofficial match run in accordance with the NRA Rifle Silhouette rules.

Sanner’s Lake Rimfire Silhouette Match Report -  September 2022

A light turnout on an otherwise beautiful day but the eggs were cooking and the match came right down to the wire with just a single steel egg spelling the difference when the kitchen timer beeped for the last time!  After clearing all of the 100m eggs, Greg Banta thought the match would be over-easy but then out of nowhere three 77m eggs in a row were left un-dropped and defeat was snatched from the jaws of victory!  There’s no predicting how the eggs will fall in this match, which is what makes it such a challenge.
