shooting at Mica. it is maybe NRA silhouette? they do it each tuesday at 5 out there. there are little 2 inch chickens at 44 yards, 3 inch pigs at 66 yards, 3 inch turkeys at 85 yards, and 5 inch rams at 110 yards. (dimensions are estimated  :chuckle:). and shoot them all standing off hand. it is very tough!

Can you show up a bit late (after work) and join the "shoot"? sounds fun

sometimes there is enough people to go through twice. But usually once it starts it goes pretty quick

I started shooting in 1998 and got classified AAA but haven't shot smallbore in 5-6 years, it can get very addictive.  I even have a full set of 40 steel regulation targets.
 Got to hear your scores are climbing!

What kind of rifle are you shooting?

I shoot a marlin xt22 hv with a Bea sweet 22 scope.  I know its not the best gun for this but seems to be working well for me. It is pretty addicting and.very fun! Hopefully by summers end I can break 20!
