That advantage decreases with group size, since the ring dimensions do converge for the higher scoring rings.ДЇor sustained fire, the B-8 would seem to be always preferable! The addition of the 5-ring, and the consistently larger scoring rings will give most shooters an advantage. For slow fire, it also brings the inner ring dimensions closer together, but has little effect on the outer rings, or on the sustained fire targets.ДЇor slow fire, the very wayward shooter might find that the lack of a 4-ring on the B-6 and B-16 could lower scores, but for those of middling ability they offer an advantage. The targets are silhouettes of Chickens, Pigs, Turkeys and Rams and the target size varies with the class of rifle. Likewise, in sustained fire, the B-3 and B-5 targets have comparable dimensions.ДЄdjusting for caliber brings the B-16/B-6, B-2/B-4, and B-3/B-5 pairs closer together. The B-16 and B-6 slow fire targets are largely interchangable, as are the B-2 and B-4.

The data bear out the observation that the 25 and 50 yards targets are easier to score on. Shooting positions for the various firearms and targets range from prone with shooting sticks (blackpowder cartridge rifles) to standing and shooting offhand. Given the siginifcant differences in ring size, I felt it was reasonable to discount the role of ammunition. comprise a rather large area around the target ( see Figure 22 ). Without a body of data on ammunition accuracy, it would be difficult to make an accurate adjustment. They utilize a large vertical two - dimensional target appropriately shaped like a. Note that in the calculations and the following observations, no allowance has been made for ammunition being less accurate at longer range. 45 caliber ammunition (source data: table 7) Conclusions If I hit the offset outline at 25 yards then I know I had the correct hold over for a simulated 300 yard target.Figure 3: Comparing ring diameters for sustained fire targets, adjusted for. Depending on how big the actual target is, the target and the offset outline could intersect. Silhouette targets can be cut from various types of steel. The targets are thinner material to permit reliable knockdown by the. 22 caliber short, long or long rifle cartridges at the same distance and the same size targets as in HunterвЂ™s Pistol.

Targets for large-bore use are 9.5 to 13 mm ( 38 to 12 in) thick hardened steel small bore targets are 5 to 6 mm ( 316 to 14 in) steel, and airgun targets are 3 mm ( 18 in) steel, although some aluminum targets are produced. So I would scale my 300 yard target for 25 yards put a light target outline 0.9вЂќ below the actual target. NRA Smallbore HunterвЂ™s Pistol is fired with. These are generally fired with rimfires or airguns. Therefore if you use the 300 yard hold over at 25 yards the bullet should impact at 0.9вЂќ below the center of the target: (-1.3 mills + 0.3mills = -1.0 mills). Meaning you have to hold over +0.3mills in order to hit the center of the target.ДЄt 25 yards, bullet drop is -1.19вЂќ or -1.3 mills.

These targets are completely made in the USA out of cast iron and are the official NRA 22 silhouette target size. Long range silhouette is fired on metallic, animal-shaped targets at four. The swingers are made to meet expectations of every serious silhouette shooter. When I practice at the local 25 yd indoor range I scale the target for distance and draw an outline above or below the target to simulate the hold over and point of impact.ДЇor example, with an 18вЂќ BBL, scope height = 2.6вЂќ, 55 gr bullet with muzzle vel = 3285 fps, and 50 yd zero, theoretical bullet drop at 300 yards is -3.07вЂќ which is equivalent to -0.3 mills. The Ray Schafer Rimfire Metallic Silhouette Swinger Target Set is a set of 22 caliber Metalic Swinger Silhouette Targets.
