Rules
NRA Pistol Silhouette Rules will apply, except where specific exceptions are made.
Guns
Hunter's Pistol, Smallbore Pistol and Air Pistol may be used.
Sights
Metallic, telescopic or electronic sights may be used.
Targets
Set five like animals in the same bank, all in a row facing same direction, one target-width apart.
Shooters shoot one bank of targets, then continue to a new bank. Example: A shooter will shoot the bank of chickens, and then proceed to the bank of pigs.
Four types of targets:
- Gallina (chicken)
- Javelina (pig)
- Guajalote (turkey)
- Borrego (ram)
Scoring
All scores are ranked either a hit (silhouette must fall over) or a miss. Targets that slide, turn, or rock, but do not fall, are misses.
Common symbols for scoring are X for hit, and O for miss.
Time Limits
Complete one bank of five targets in two minutes.
Two and a half minutes will be allotted for Air Pistol on each bank of five targets.
Position
Standing Position -- Shooter's option of one- or two-handed. The body may not support arms. See rulebook page 13.
