Metallic silhouette shooting is
a group of target shooting disciplines that involves
shooting at metal
cutouts representing game animals at varying distances. Metallic silhouette
shooting can be done with airguns, black-powder
firearms, modern handguns,
or modern rifles.
The targets used are rams, turkeys, pigs, and chickens, which are cut to
different scales and set at certain distances from the shooter depending on the
specific discipline.
It
is hard to describe the awesome feeling you get when you knock down a steel
silhouette target. The loud crack from the bullet exiting the muzzle followed
by an even louder “clang” as you watch your target fly off the railing is
really a true addiction for most Silhouette shooters. As soon as you shoot your
first target it is truly love at first sight. There is nothing better than
shooting a game where you actually get to see your target react to the bullet.
In fact, besides Silhouette, there are few other games involving more
interaction with the targets. In my opinion, this is truly what makes this game
so much fun.
