This was held at the Rotorua Deer Stalkers range on the 13th of March in fine weather. Six hardy souls showed up to shoot silhouettes, where are all the hunters who should be shooting this discipline?. If you could shoot standing just think off how many more animals you would have shot. Yes standing is hard but if you don’t do it, how do you think you are going to get better at it, silhouette shooting will do this. These are shot using .22 rimfire rifles.
These Championships are shot over two matches, a match is 40 shots 10 each of chickens, pigs, turkey and rams from 40m to 100m.
