22 LONG RANGE SILHOUETTE MATCH
CHEROKEE ROD AND GUN CLUB
4280 Reservoir Road
Kingsport Tennessee, 37660
(2.6 miles past Bays Mtn. sign)
Welcome to Cherokee's Long Range Silhouette Matches!
These matches are held the fourth Monday of the month, March-October. Range setup begins at noon and matches run until shooters are done or we run out of daylight. All matches are open to the public! For specific dates, please see the club calendar.
This match is shot in 4 banks all from the bench, 10 targets/bank as follows:
Bank 1: 10 Rams (mostly rams) at 200 yards
Bank 2: 10 Turkeys (mostly) at 165 yards
Bank 3: 10 Pigs (mostly) at 125 yards
Bank 4: 10 Chickens (mostly) at 80 yards
The banks are shot in order beginning with Rams and ending with Chickens. Shooters have 50 rounds for score for the 40 target match and are allotted 11 minutes/bank. Shooters will have 11 minutes for sighters (you can shoot as many sighters as you like) and their 10 shots for score. There are sighter targets at each bank. Your sighter shots do not come from the 50 score shells, so you have two ‘boxes’ of shells you are using, one for sighters and one for score. Once you begin shooting for score on any bank, no more sighter shots on that bank. On any bank you can continue shooting for score as long as you have: shells left from the 50, time left from the 11 minutes, and targets standing. Or you can choose to stop shooting on any bank leaving targets standing and save shells for closer targets. When you move from one bank to the next, no returning to a prior bank. So if you decide to leave some rams standing and save shells for easier targets you cannot later return to rams if you end up with shells left over. The order in which you shoot targets on any bank does not matter – if you miss one, keep shooting at it if you like. If you knock down the 3rd one while shooting at the 2nd one, way to go, you got a hit, adjust your windage on the next shot! Your final score is: (number of targets down, number of shells left from the 50). The number of shells left over only counts to break ties. A (40,0) beats a (39,11).
Entry fee is $10.00 per match. Scores will be recorded for recognition of the yearly aggregate winners.
Match Director is Brad Snow (423-480-4960).
