Smallbore Silhouette 22LR Rimfire Match 2015 (Reno NV)

[Das Capitolin]

Match Results: 24 April 2015
Today was a reminder of the old saying: April showers bring May flowers. It was a cold, wet, windy, muddy mess from the start of the day, but by mid-morning the rain had moved on and the sun made an brief appearance. Steady wind challenged shooters nearly all day long, then calmed just in time for awards. Weather conditions were difficult, but not impossible.
In spite of miserable morning weather we still had sixteen shooters present to compete in the second match of the season, and scores were relatively high considering the ever-changing conditions. Today also proved we could shoot this match using only a pair of swinging targets and spotting scopes, which opens possibilities for future games.
Early practice will be the only time for sight-in shooting before the match begins. Future matches may be limited to 24 shooters maximum, with PVGC members receiving first consideration during registration. The next smallbore silhouette rimfire match is Saturday, May 30th. Arrive by 8AM for early practice, or by 9AM for the match.

It was such a beautiful day, we could not have asked for better conditions! Although turnout allowed a few shooters to utilize our ‘second gun’ rule, it didn’t seem to help their efforts. In at least one case the shooter was faced with turning adjustments clockwise for one rifle, and counter-clockwise for the other. We’ll see how many people take their chances with a second gun at future events.
Speaking of future events, we’ve only got four matches and a practice remaining for this season. If you missed this event (and perfect weather), the next smallbore silhouette rimfire match is Saturday, June 27th. I won’t be at the next match due to travel plans, but some familiar faces will still be there shooting for a chance at the blue ribbon.
