Hey Fellow Shooters, It's getting to be that time of year again!!! Silhouette season is starting in the mountains of North Carolina!!!
I'll try to stick to the essential info and keep this short(er) than usual. . .
Asheville Rifle & Pistol Club (ARPC) will begin its Silhouette Season starting next month (March) on the 2nd Saturday and run through November (except for June - when we will host the NC State Championship Tournament, email about that to follow).
We hold an Air Rifle Silhouette Match starting at 9am (practice starts at 8am). You can bring whichever Air Rifle meets the rules and shoot in that category. We do not charge a fee, nor offer prizes, but it is NRA Approved and we offer 5 & 10-in-a-row pins!!!
After we take those targets and stands down, we start the practice for the Smallbore Silhouette Matches. These too are NRA Approved and we charge the following fees:
Juniors, Seniors & Club Members pay $5/match and all others pay $7.50/match. We return approx 50% of the fees back to the Match & Class winners! If there are 6+ people in the class, we will pay a 2nd place as well!!! So the practice should start about 10am - 10:45am, then start the 1st Match (Standard Rifle) at about 11. We'll take a short break between for practice and lunch (bring your own food/drinks if you don't mind), then shoot the Hunting Rifle match. With shootoffs, range take down and awards, you are usually out by 2:30-ish
Come on over/up/down to shoot with us! See you soon.
