Extreme Rimfire Silhouette Shuler's Great Outdoors is a major sponsor of ERS for 2010
This match is for rimfire firearms. The targets are made from ¼" and 3/8" steel plate and are cut in the shape, silhouette, of different animals. The chickens are 3/8" and pigs, turkeys, and rams are ¼". Target damage will not be tolerated. Any firearm damaging targets will be removed from the firing line. The goal of the contest is to hit and knock off the rail as many of the silhouettes as possible. The targets consist of: 10 chickens at 75 meters, 10 pigs at 112 meters, 10 turkeys at 144 meters, 10 mini targets at 144 meters, and 10 rams at 189 meters. This sport is best shot with a spotter. It is up to each shooter to arrange for a spotter. The spotter’s task will be to read and interpret the wind and other conditions, and then relay this information to the shooter so that they can make adjustments as necessary to get and stay on target. Each shooter will be provided a score card. A perfect score will be 40 points. The 10 mini targets are bonus targets. The range master will call "shooters to the line" at this time all shooters will bring to the line their gun. After the shooters have made the necessary preparations to their position, they will be given the command "READY". At this time empty chamber indicators may be removed from the firearm and can be loaded and made ready. The "READY" period is 15 seconds long. After the "READY" period the shooters will be given the command "FIRE" each shooter will then have 10 minutes to fire as many sighter shots as they feel necessary, and then ten record shots. When the shooter completes his sighter shots he will notify his spotter that he is going for score, and he will then fire one shot at each of his 10 targets. The targets will be shot from left to right; any target shot out of order will be scored a miss. After the shooter begins his record shots no further sighter shots will be allowed. We will have many classes to choose from: Bench Rest Iron Sight, Bench Rest Scope, Buffalo Iron Sight, and Buffalo Scope, Squirrel, Pistol, .17 cal., and Unlimited. In the Bench Rest classes all shooting will be done from the bench. Shooters in the Bench Rest class may not use any mechanical device that holds the gun in place. In the Unlimited class any type of holding device may be used and any type weapon provided it is an acceptable caliber. The Squirrel class will require a sporter type firearm. No additions or modifications may be made to the rifle. Squirrel Hunter class shooters may use a 3x9 scope without AO adjustments and nothing larger or more powerful. In the Buffalo classes the chickens will be shot off hand and the other targets will be shot off cross sticks. This contest is a 3/8 and 1/5 scale replica of the NRA’s BPCR Silhouette. Management, such as it is, will have the ability to change the rules as the game evolves.

August Extreme Rimfire We had 15 shooters come out and shoot 31 entries in August. Although the rain was quite heavy at times in the morning, the winds were pretty much non-existent, allowing some good scores to be turned in. The afternoon was very pleasant with good shooting conditions. We had a total of five 40s shot and five 39s turned in. Also, there were three people scoring 9 out of 10 of the 1/5 scale bonus targets. Our next shoot will be Sept 18th. Gates will open at 7:45am. For those lazy bones who wish to sleep in, the second flight should start around 11:30am. Many thanks to David Cote, Thaxton Stafford, and Philip Downs for all their help. Special thanks to Charlie Craft who, although had undergone surgery recently, managed to bring a walker and a wheelchair, and showed that the physically impaired can shoot and help run a match.

Note: Handling firearms while shooters are down range is strictly forbidden and strongly enforced. I would appreciate everyone seeing that this does not happen. (again)
