At the conclusion of Match 1 we break for lunch and conversation.
Match 2 is shot at the conclusion of lunch. The Match 2 start time will vary due to the number of shooters

MATCH FEES:
$10.00 for a 40-round match, $20.00 for a 80 round match. Junior shooters (born 2007 or later) are $2.00.
If you have not shot Smallbore Silhouette at Green Valley before, match fees are waived for your first
match! Cash awards will be given at the conclusion of the matches.
COURSE OF FIRE:
Targets are made of metal and in the shape of animals. Any .22 rifle can be used and a scope is
recommended. No hyper velocity ammo due to target damage. A 40 round match consists of ten chickens
at 40 meters, ten pigs at 60 meters, ten turkeys at 77 meters, and ten rams at 100 meters. All targets are
1/5 of actual size and are arranged in banks (rows) of 5 animals. All shooting is done from the standing
position and without the use of slings or artificial supports. Following a 15-second "Ready" command you
have 2 1/2 minutes to shoot the first of two banks of 5 targets, with one shot per target, in order, from left
to right. After a 30 second pause there is another 15 second Ready and another 2 1/2 minutes to shoot
the 2nd bank of 5 targets. Every animal knocked off the rail is counted for a total score.
RULES:
NRA rules apply and NRA classification will be used. Eye and Ear protection are required.
