HHR&GC silhouette matches are an arcade style competition shot in banks of 5 targets at distances of 40 (chickens), 50 (pigs), 75 (turkeys) and 100 (rams) yds. The time limit is 2’30” for all five shots on a bank with a target reset after all firing is complete. A complete match is 40 shots.
Targets are metallic animal cutouts that are shot off a rail. Matches can be shot with a wide variety of firearms. A typical match includes “cowboy” lever action in pistol cartridges, various scoped and non-scoped rim fire pistols and rifles and centerfire pistol cartridges.
