A new (and old) shooters clinic will be held on Saturday, April 3, starting at 9:00 am. We will be talking about what’s involved in Silhouette shooting and then do it! This is the one shooting game where you hit an animal the fun continues – rather than the fun stopping and the work starting as in elk hunting. Bring a 22 long rifle (rifle, pistol, scoped or not) and come join in the fun at the outdoor rifle range! All are welcome and it’s free!
About .22 SilhouetteMatches: The monthly matches are held on the 2nd Saturday of the month.
During the winter the matches start at 9:30 with setup at 9:00. These times will hold until April.

| Scoped - | 4. Pistols/revolvers | 5. Rifles |
Course of Fire: 40 shots (all shots fired standing) - 10 shots at each distance:
