    I sure wish my hold was half as good as the person shooting those rams!

    About thirty years ago when I lived in Prince George BC, I was active in small-bore metallic silhouette. I still have my Anschutz Model 64MS rifle. It's an absolute tack driver. This shooting sport is a hoot and the people are (usually) very friendly and helpful to newcomers. I highly recommend it.

    Good fun. I used to shoot what was called Falling plate in the UK at 300 yards when a teenager (1970's)- open sights only. We also used balloons which were a right challenge in slightly windy days.

    Very nice shooting range!!! Looks like a lot of fun! The range I shoot at has swing steel targets at 300 & 567yds. It's a lot of fun smacking steel, but silhouette shooting would bring it to a new level!!! Hope to see more videos!!!!!!!!

    There are many types of Silhouette Shooting. I've done Lever Action Silhouette shooting. It is a lot of fun, and I encourage anyone to look for competitions in their area. Unlike marksmanship competition, which I have also done, it requires far less equipment. For Arizona I refer you to the Arizona State Rifle and Pistol Association.

      It was first started with live animals, they were staked out, shot, butchered and cooked, often on the spot. I don't know if Google will allow that to be searched, but I remember reading that in some old silhouette books.

    Nice video, in Sonoran Desert you need gloves to pick up the high power silhouettes, but first kick the silhouettes to see if it is a rattle snake hiden from the sun, under the silhouette

    • @rosebudsilhouetteandbenchr2402
      @rosebudsilhouetteandbenchr2402  2 роки тому +1

      thank you for your comment, we do have rattle snakes in Alberta, but they are not a hazard at our range.

    Those smallbore targets look like 3/8 scale rimfire pistol targets. We used to fun shoot these with rimfire rifle, offhand. Back in my day this was not a sanctioned event. The sanctioned rimfire standing (offhand) rifle targets were friggin 1/5 scale at either 25 or 40, depending on the geography of your range, then 50 for pigs and either 75 or 77 depending on your topography and finally 100 for Rams. Here in the US, you were allowed to hold sanctioned events in either meters or yards, didn't matter, they went in your score book as the same, you were classified as unclassified for your first ever try, then as an A, AA, AA or a Master shooter as you improved. Your score only competed against others in your own class, BUT if your score jumped you two classes you were immediately booted up to avoid "sandbagging"😁 Back in the eighties & early nineties we were one of the few ranges that allowed rimfire rifle shooters to have a go on the 3/8 scale pistol targets during sanctioned matches. (Your score didn't "count") We had very wide facilities and no issues with semi autos spitting brass on other competitors as they had to use the far right firing lanes. Plus we had a courteous bunch. If you think you're an excellent offhand shooter, print out some official 1/5 scale targets, I think you can get them in official scale from the NRA website, set them at 40, 50, 75ish and 100 yards or meters and prepare to learn a little humility. They are especially difficult if they are level with your waist or a little higher. It's much easier to shoot offhand if you're aiming downward with the target around ankle height, try it, you'll see what I mean.

    • @rosebudsilhouetteandbenchr2402
      @rosebudsilhouetteandbenchr2402  Рік тому +1

      Our smallbore targets are actually 1:5 scale despite how they may appear and we are running distances of 40, 60, 77 and 100 meters, you have to remember we are utilizing digital magnification in the video to make the targets more visible. We also run the class system here at our range during competitions and yes it can be a very humbling sport especially when you are first starting, I believe my first attempt took me almost 40 rounds to knock the top row of chickens off at 40 meters.

    • @jtee9548
      @jtee9548 Рік тому +1

      @@rosebudsilhouetteandbenchr2402 Thanks for the reply. I was completely fooled by the scale issue you mentioned. We used to get new shooters hooked starting them on the 3/8 scale targets, we even let kids shoot through (supervised) from prone, sandbags, wheelchair or whatever with any rimfire. Notably, even for very skilled AA & Master Class shooters, 3/8 scale targets at your distances, but with any sights EXCEPT scopes is huge fun. Smallbore shooters can dust off their behemoth old Win 52s, 75s, BSAs, Rem 37s etc. It would seem incredibly difficult to shoot lever actions at the 1/5th scale, I'd invite them to try 3/8th scale too.

    A good primer on Silhouette. You guys need to add air rifle too! Also, I'm quite surprised that your range does not require eye protection while shooting.

    • @rosebudsilhouetteandbenchr2402

      At this point, it is highly encouraged.

      In Indonesia, we did the 3-position air rifle metallic silhouette shooting. The most common branches that is being competed are 17M multipump with v sights, 27M multipump with telescope, and 33M PCP with telescope. The most prestigious one are Multirange 41M PCP with telescope, just like in this video but in the smallbore size one. This branch have been tried on 2019's SEA Games on Philippine, but sadly not repeated on 2021 Vietnam.

    Pity this sport is NOT in the UK any more since the last 25 or 30 years....
    I did this way back in South Africa and visit the shooting range every time I go there....
    Closest to me who does this sport is France or Italy I think, or maybe Italy...

    I don't see the standard 50/100/150/200m berms for pistol silhouette but the range looks like a great place for 500m pistol competitions. Have y'all done any of that?

    • @rosebudsilhouetteandbenchr2402
      @rosebudsilhouetteandbenchr2402  2 роки тому +1

      We operate as a rifle sports club, not pistol, so that is why you are not seeing the typical pistol berms.

    "Rules" for shooting seems really dumb to me. But to each their own.

    • @rosebudsilhouetteandbenchr2402
      @rosebudsilhouetteandbenchr2402  2 роки тому +1

      The rules listed are for competition shooting only, just like any rifle sport, there are rules and classes. We do also support general plinking at our range for those who do not wish to partake in only competition style shooting.

    • @daveimas
