Airgun Metallic Silhouette

June 3rd, 1:00 pm start at the Action Pistol Range. Weather is going to be terrific!

$10 members, $15.00 guests. All shooters must have signed the one time liability waiver available online:

https://unitedsportsmen.com/waiver/

United Sportsmen Inc. requires all members and guests visiting our range to have a signed “Liability Waiver” on file prior to being allowed to use our ranges.

Airguns only, limited to 20 ft/lbs, shooting pellets. No BB’s or air soft.     .22 cal and lower only.  All attendee’s must wear protective eye wear before entering the Action Pistol Range where the event is held. 
While Metallic Silhouette shooting is traditionally an off hand sport, we do have a bench/rested class.  We also have a club air tank to top off your PCP’s-  

There are two 40 shot relays, allowing you to shoot a combination of off hand and bench, or the entire match from either position.

We also have a Short Range course for lighter powered pellet guns, and it is very exciting for pellet pistol use. The maximum distance in Short Range is only 18 yards, but the targets are slightly smaller.

We do provide warm up/practice session before the match.

Both events have Metal targets welded to a steel bar that allows them to fall individually.   After the round is fired, the shooter simply pulls a string and the targets reset for the next round.

We do have a Club air rifle, but please let us know in advance if you'll be using it?

Today’s match boiled down to just one word: “HOT”- and windy- OK two words, HOT and windy. How hot, first 97-degree day of the year. How windy?  Tables blew over, and hats flew off heads. A rifle was blown off a bench. It was windy!

The shooters proved up to the match, as there was plenty of ice water and everyone pitched in with the setup and teardown, making the match much more bearable. So let’s talk scores. We have both off hand and benched competitions, as well as full length and Short Air Rifle compressed distances, The shorter distance range has targets that are commensurably smaller, so while they are closer, but they need more precise sight alignment.
