The 2024 Smallbore National Silhouette Championships were held July 28th – 30th at the Ridgway Rifle Club in Ridgway, PA. Competitors shoot (2) 40-shot matches each of the three days.
“Without using the high-quality ammunition that SK produces, this accomplishment would have never been possible,” commented Stine. “SK’s manufacturing passion has truly led to my success.”
Smallbore Silhouette shooting is a fun and challenging discipline that has competitors aiming for a variety of steel chickens, pigs, turkeys, and rams. Shooters, standing and unsupported, aim for four banks of silhouettes at increasing distances, shooting 40 targets in all. For every silhouette knocked down, the competitor earns one point. Smallbore Silhouette competitors shoot at distances of 40, 60, 77, and 100 meters, while High Power Silhouette distances are 200, 300, 385, and 500 meters.
