Snipers Match

We're working on this one. Any input? Email Me.

I'm working out courses of fire and rules for these matches and considering several other match types. For instance possibly a cast bullet match, lever gun match & muzzle loaders etc. I would value your input so please email me at the link below if you have ideas.

The targets were purchased by the match sponsor. They are expensive and to insure they last we have to limit the muzzle velocity to 3200 fps and bullet weight to 180 gr maximum. Absolutely no armor piercing bullets allowed. Some military 5.56 is known to cause damage so that  will be addressed on an individual basis. A percentage of the match fees will go to the sponsor for target maintenance.

If you email Sourdough Silhouette you will be notified by email when and where matches are scheduled.
