Due to so many e-mail requests the Saturday February 12, 2011 NRA Smallbore(22 Rimfire) Silhouette Match at Magnolia Rifle and Pistol Club in Jackson, MS. is back on. Bring any kind of 22 rimfire rifle you have to shoot. If your rifle is too heavy for the standing position there will be plenty of rifles and ammo to share. This will be the only Match for Rifle Silhouette at Magnolia in 2011. This is a fun Match.

This is not Rimfire F-class but some of you may want to try this for fun.

E-mail me as soon as possible to reserve your slot and if you need more info.

This is a "humbling" experience to shoot for any interested IMO. We have the match monthly at our range. Try it out y'all

One trick to this match is..................

You must know what scope settings you need for 40M, 60M, 75M, and 100M. I might the exact distances off a bit, but close......

Your correct Sub.

Zeros for the Match

We will show you how we set the elevation for the different distances. The distances are 40m, 60m, 77m and 100m.

Most of us use 1/4 MOA click scopes. We get a 40 meter zero. Reset our turrets to zero and with experience all you need is the 40 meter zero off the bench. We do not count clicks but use a cheat sheet. Elevation come-ups with Standard velocity ammo: Pigs will be around 2 o 3, Turkeys 5, Rams slow ammo 11 and fast ammo 9. After a short time most people are just checking their Chicken zero and then check the other distances standing during practice. We will show you the elevation or cheat sheets on our scopes and you will instantly understand why we do not count clicks.

I will try to have paper targets out at 8:00 A.M. before the wind gets up. The more people I have there to help set up the quicker we will get paper and targets up. The weather is supposed to clear off for Saturday and we should have a beautiful day.

E-mail me if you are thinking about shooting this Match.
I have a special e-mail group going for this Match just for this week.

There will be people at this Match who will help you go through the process of shooting the Match and share rifles ammo, and equipment. You do not have to be able to even read to shoot Silhouette. If you can make an "X" and a "O" you already know how to score. Its that simple.

If I we don't work this weekend, I'll come out to watch. May shoot but don't etch that in stone. If I come, I'll help ya'll set up and break down of course. Hadn't learned that range adjustment on my rifle but if I can get a chance to zero it in before, I will shoot. Let you know. My cheap Savage Mk II be competive.

Sid, Shoot me a e-mail so that you will be in the know about Rifle Silhouette happenings in this area. I have a special e-mail group set up for this Match. If the Savage does not suit you in practice or the first Match, there will be plenty of equipment and ammo to share. We started in this sport 11 years ago with that same model Savage.

The normal Silhouette Match group is a big team effort. You will not feel like an individual alone on your firing point. There is a lot of chatter during live-firing because the rules allow one spotter chatting away and scoring with each shooter. I saw a "divorce" right on the firing line at the Southern Nationals in 2007. The divorce happened over Chicken Hits. Great shooter divorced his average spotter/rifle builder in the middle of a bank. "Divorce" in Silhouette just means long term shooter/spotter team separate. We were on the firing point next to them. It was hilarious.

My favorite shooters to spot for are the ones that can break the shot with me talking away at them. The hardest to spot for are the ones that need silence at the point of breaking the shot. I cannot make quick switching wind calls accurately for those shooters. Now, I am difficult to spot for because when I am on my game my spotter can talk away even during the breaking of the shot but the days when my wobble is huge I have to have silence on the break of the shot. I also have certain key indicators in my position that show I am out of my normal standing position. My spotter has to look for that also and remind me to correct my position while watching the wind.


Shoot me a e-mail. Thanks!

How long does the match usually last and which range do y'all usually use?

Can't tell you how long they last -- however, it will be conducted on the East 100 range. I would think they should be done by noon.

Thanks. I wanted to do a little 200-300 yard shooting. :thumbup:
