    Metallic Silhouette Shooting is a sport that was started by bored Mexicans many, many moons ago, and now it has become one of the biggest shooting sports in the world.

    There are many different calibers to choose from i.e. Small Bore Rifle, Small Bore Handgun, Field Pistol, Big Bore Sport Handgun, Air Rifle, Big Bore Rifle......and many many more.

    We shoot metal targets that has been cut out to the silhouette of an animal. There are four different silhouettes i.e. "Chicken", "Pig", "Turkey" and "Ram". They are all shot at different distances. Silhouette is generally shot in the free standing position, although in some events the "freestyle" position can also be used.

    It is great fun!!
