Applies more to pistol shooters, but here goes:
- If you know the Spanish words for Chicken, Pig, Turkey and Ram, you might be a silhouette shooter.
- If you worry that you might taco grip your carry gun if you ever got mugged, you might be a silhouette shooter.
- If your idea of rapid fire is one shot every 15 seconds, you might be a silhouette shooter
- If you don’t know why spray paint comes in colors other than black, white, and almond, you might be a silhouette shooter.
- If you think 3lbs is a heavy trigger pull, you might be a silhouette shooter.
- If you know what the Creedmore Position is, you might be a silhouette shooter.
- If your pistol looks like a rifle with the stock sawed off, you might be a silhouette shooter.
- If you have a rifle scope on your pistol, you might be a silhouette shooter.
- If your idea of a short barreled pistol is 6″, you might be a silhouette shooter.
- If you load rifle bullets in your pistol loads, you might be a big bore silhouette shooter.
1: Not anymore
2: Not really. I never shot silhouette with a 1911.
3: Not anymore! :-)
4: ” ”
5: Well, just a skosh heavy…
6: Oh, HELL yes!
7: XP-100 centergrip in 7mmBR
8: I have scopes on a couple of them.
9: The scoped ones are 5″, 10″ and 14″
10: Sierra 130 grain HPBT Match 7mm! (And I tried .358″ 200 grain .35 Remington bullets in my 10″ .357 Contender barrel, but that didn’t work out all that well.)
I haven’t shot a silhouette match in four or five years now, I guess.
