22 BPCR Silhouette

Shot on the even months.

Concept/Overview:

To create a match that mirrors BPCR Silhouette in all respects. The course of fire. Scoring, and rifles permitted are in keeping with the spirit of BPRC Silhouette. Exposed hammer single shot rifles. Lever Action, and bolt action hunting style rifles will be allowed, but must loaded one round at a time. In this event the distances are shorter, and the caliber of the guns will be .22 rimfire. The distances of the targets were adopted to allow this event to be fired at most rifle/pistol ranges. In keeping with the shorter distances, the size of the animals are reduced accordingly to maintain the challenge of the match.

Course of fire:

The course of fire will be 40 shots for record, 10 shots at each target; chicken, pig, turkey, and ram. 40 shots- 5X5, five minutes will be allowed to fire unlimited sighters and one shot on each target on the first bank of 5 targets. Three minutes will be allowed for one shot on each target on the second bank of 5 targets. No sighters will be allowed on the second bank.

Scoring:

Once the shooter has announced his intention to go for record; targets are shot in sequence, 1 shot per target (10 shots for 10 targets) Targets shot out of sequence will be scored a miss. If a target is missed, shoot will move on to the next target, Chickens will be shot off-hand, Pigs, Turkeys, and rams may be shot offhand or sitting or prone from crossed sticks. Cross sticks must be BPCR Silhouette legal.
