Metallic Silhouette Shooting

Silhouette Bay 9 is a metallic silhouette match where you knock down steel animal targets at set distances—pure test of your offhand hold and trigger control. This is the real deal: standing unsupported, making hits count. Fired from the line Wednesday morning at Marysville Rifle Club in Arlington. Offhand shooting separates the steady from the shaky. If you want to see where your fundamentals actually stand, show up and run it.

Silhouette Bay 9 is a metallic silhouette match where you knock down steel animal targets at known distances—a straightforward test of your offhand shooting and trigger control. Most shots are fired standing, so this is about stability and precision under match conditions. This is a practical way to measure your ability to hit small, distant steel targets when it matters. You'll shoot multiple animals (chickens, pigs, turkeys, rams) at different yardages, and each miss costs you. Offhand shooting strips away rests and excuses, so you learn where your actual marksmanship stands.

Benchrest shooting is the pursuit of ultimate accuracy. Shooters fire from a stable bench rest, seeking the smallest possible groups. Competition is as much about ammunition preparation and rifle tuning as it is about trigger technique. | Detail | Info | |--------|------| | Distances | 100 and 200 yards typical | | Scoring | Group size measurement | | Divisions | Sporter, Light Varmint, Heavy Varmint, Unlimited | | Round count | 25-50 record shots per match | Benchrest or varmint-class rifle Front rest and rear bag Ammunition (match-grade or handloads) Wind flags (or use club flags) Eye and ear protection (required) Contact Hollywood Rifle & Pistol Club for match format, class divisions, and entry fees.
