TARGET: NRA Hunter Pistol metallic silhouettes (½ scale, 3/8” and ½” plate used) - 20 targets
DISTANCE: 5 Chickens at 40 yards, 5 pigs at 60 yards, 5 turkeys at 77 yards, 5 rams at 100 yards.
COURSE OF FIRE: 5 targets at each distance, one shot per target fired upon in order from left to
right. Target rotation will be from smaller to larger (ex. Turkey, ram, chicken, pig).
TIME LIMIT: 5-minute prep time for setting up a muzzleloading station. 20 minutes per bank of 5 targets.
SCORING: Targets knocked off the rail or laying in a non-vertical position on the rail, in proper sequence, are scored as hits. Targets hit out of order will be scored as misses. If a competitor shoots the rail, and the silhouette they were shooting at falls, it will be considered a hit. If a competitor shoots the rail and more than one silhouette falls, then the competitor will fire at remaining ones in order and then go back to the left end and fire any unfired rounds at remaining silhouettes, if any, in order. No more than 5 rounds shall be fired at any bank of silhouettes.
SPOTTER: Each competitor may have one spotter with them on the firing line who may have a scope or binoculars to advise the competitor where shots are hitting. The spotter will also keep time and advise the competitor in a quiet voice. The spotter may not touch the competitor or the competitor’s equipment after the competitor assumes their position on the firing line. The spotter may be positioned beside or behind the competitor but not forward of the competitor. Coaches and parents may not be Spotters. Spotters can only be registered competitors within that event.
