SKSC offers Rimfire at 1:00PM and High-Power matches at 9:00AM held on the 2nd Saturday of the month from April through September.Silhouette is the generic name used to categorize the types of shooting sports in which steel silhouettes shaped like game animals and birds are used as targets. Unlike traditional rifle and pistol events where each shot counts from 0-10 points, Silhouette is similar to trap and skeet, offering instant gratification as each shot is either a hit or miss. To score a hit, targets are knocked from stands as in an old-fashioned shooting gallery. Equipment

 |
Spotting Scope - The use by the coach of a telescope or other optical device to spot shots is permitted. |
|
A Shooting Mat or ground cloth is permissible in Black Powder Cartridge Rifle competition and Long Range Pistol/Smallbore Pistol Freestyle competition. |
|
Gloves may be worn on either or both hands in pistol competition as long as they don't afford artificial support. In rifle, they may be worn only for warmth. |
| Clothing - Commercial type trap and skeet vests and shotgun shooting shirts are permitted as well as clothing normally suitable for existing climatic temperatures. Shooting coats, unnecessarily heavy clothing, or anything on the person that would provide artificial support, such as clothing having excess padding or stiffening material, or clothing which restricts or supports the body in the shooting position may not be worn. |
High Power
Rifles for Silhouette Competition
Big game rifles as well as varmint rifles have proved to be quite satisfactory
for this kind of competition, and a number of rifles have been specially built.
The use of a specially built rifle does not automatically guarantee a winning
score. Since coaching is allowed, the presence of a good coach can make a great
deal of difference although the individual shooter still has to perform to his
best ability in order to win.
While there is no limitation on the magnification allowed in scopes, shooters
now tend to use a scope that is twenty power or higher, although many still use
a lower power.
While 6mm is the smallest caliber allowed in High Power competition, it is well
known that a 6mm bullet will not knock the sheep target off its stand reliably.
For that reason, most silhouette shooters use larger calibers. The most popular
one seems to be the .308 Winchester.
Smallbore
Rifles in Silhouette Competition
Since Smallbore Rifle silhouette is simply a miniature of the High Power Rifle
game, the rifle allowed is defined as being identical to the High Power Rifle.
Rifles may be chambered only for the unmodified .22 caliber rimfire short, long,
or long rifle. No special hot loads, such as "stingers" may be used. Except for
the caliber restriction, all other equipment requirements are the same.
High Power and Smallbore Rifle silhouette both have a Hunter Rifle class where
only hunting style rifles may be used. These rifles are lighter in weight and
very few modifications are allowed.
