Bomb City Silhouette Club - the new air rifle club

[Panhandle]

Yesterday I received approval from the Amarillo Rifle and Pistol Club to start air rifle silhouette competition. We will shoot approved NRA 1/10 scale matches and Club matches with 1/5 scale targets. A schedule will be announced soon and will be available on the ARPC web page https://www.amarillorpc.com/

Bomb City Silhouette anticipates holding one big match a year as well. The match will likely be dubbed the “GLOBAL air rifle championship”, things are bigger in Texas.

Bomb City Silhouette was never formally established.

Hope your air rifle matches were a success. We havent had any clubs running air rifle silhouette since the carolina airgun club shut down in the 90's. That is until Greg Chandler brought air rifle matches to Asheville a few years ago. I forgot how much fun it is to shoot this variant. Greg ran it as a warmup match before the two SB matches. Its still run the same way today, Its a great setup.

It is a fun. Being away from air rifle competition since the 80’s (1980’s not 1880’s) I was shocked at the accuracy of modern air rifles, especially at longer distances. I was also surprised at the satisfying sound of hitting the little animals. I expected very little sound of a HIT when you connect with an animal but it may be one of the loudest hit feedbacks in Silhouette. Great fun!
