Post by: BULLBLASTER on June 11, 2013, 09:18:31 PM: 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!

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?
