THE RIMFIRE RIFLE AND PISTOL
SILHOUETTE MATCHES

July 11, 2009

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m.

The rifle and pistol matches will be scored separately. It is not necessary for competitors to shoot in both matches. There will be, however, a bonus prize for the overall winner.

Equipment: Rimfire pistol and rifle, in caliber .22 short, long or long rifle. To prevent damage to the targets, no .22 magnum, .17 HMR, .17 Mach 2, or “Stinger” type ammunition, please. No restrictions on overall weight of rifles or pistols. Any trigger not subject to accidental discharge allowed.

Any sights, telescopic, metallic, or electronic may be used on both rifles and pistols. No lasers, please.

No shooting coats, or padded gloves, but trap-shooting style vests are permitted. Slings may be attached to the rifle but may not be used for support of the hand or arm. Palm rests may not be used.

At least 100 rounds of ammunition.

Course of Fire: Each match will be 40 shots at smallbore silhouette targets. All shooting will be done slow-fire from the standing position.

Competitors will have two chances to knock down as many of 20 targets as they can with 20 shots. Targets for each stage will be 5 Borrego (ram), 5 Guajalote (turkey), 5 Javelina (pig), and 5 Gallina (chicken). Your score will be the number of targets knocked over. In the event of a tie, there will be a shoot-off.

All targets in the Pistol Match will be shot from 25 yards.
All targets in the Rifle Match will be shot from 50 yards.
Paper targets for sighting-in will be provided.
