Junior Sihouette shooting is a fun shoot for juniors to introduce them to the shooting sport. Bring your kids to the range and get them interested in the sport that you enjoy! Remember, they are our future - bring a "kid" - they have a ball! New shooters are welcome - bring a friend - non-members are welcome. If you don't have equipment, DCPA will provide air rifle, pellets, and safety gear for the shoot. Introducing Silhouette Shooting Targets are steel silhouettes shaped like chickens, pigs, turkeys and rams. The distances vary for each type of target. Spectator appeal is evident at matches. Families and friends of shooters attend and applaud as the targets crash to the ground. Spectators and competitors alike enjoy the relaxed atmosphere. What Equipment Do You Need?
The course of fire consists of a total of 40 rounds. The 40 rounds consist of 10 shots on each target. This means 10 shots on chickens, 10 shots on pigs, 10 shots on turkeys and 10 shots on rams. What Is The Firing Procedure? Each shooter is assigned a target number. A relay consists of four shooters. Each shooter is assigned a bank of silhouette targets (chickens, pigs, turkeys or rams). When called to the firing line, the competitor goes to the firing point assigned. On command, each competitor has a bank of 5 silhouettes at which to fire, one shot at each, left to right, in order. The competitor remains on the firing line while targets are reset and he/she completes his/her 10 shots at the same target (for example, pigs). After firing his/her bank of targets (for example 5 pigs), the competitor moves to the next bank of targets to his right (which would be turkeys, in this case). The shooter then repeats the rotation until all the targets have been shot. Two and one-half minutes are allowed for 5 shots. Competitors must fire at the targets in sequence, beginning at the left and progressing to the right. No hits are allowed for targets fired out of sequence. Targets must be knocked from their stands to be counted as hits. Turning the target sideways on the stand does not count as a hit. Since all hits count equally, the competitor with the highest number of hits is the winner. In event of tie scores, shoot offs are held. What Are The Shooting Positions? Any standing position without artificial support is allowed. The air rifle will be supported by the hands and one shoulder and one hand must be forwarded of the pistol grip. Two-handed shooting is permitted for Air Rifle. DCPA provides the rifles, scopes and pellets to those participating in the shoot. What are the Range Commands? There are three range commands:
A safety Instruction class is mandatory for first-time shooters. This instruction course is given at 9 a.m. the morning of the shoot. Free instruction and guidance is given throughout the course of fire. Silhouette Shoots are scheduled once a month from spring to fall.
