New 25-Yard Silhouette Figure Target

[ThomasT]

Hello everyone,

For those folks that have a limited space to shoot paper Targets I have created a new Silhouette Target that is to be shot at 25-yards. Shooting real metal Silhouettes is a lot of fun but requires a large space, so what I have done is “SCALED” all four Figures and made a paper target. In real rifle competition you would shoot the Chicken Figure at 20-yards, and the Pig at 30-yards, and the Turkey at 36-yards and the Ram at 45 yards. I drew the Figures to their actual size and then “Scaled” them to shoot at 25-yards: example, the Chicken Figure would normally shoot at 20-yards so I scaled it up in size to the correct ratio for 25-yards; the Ram normally would shoot at 45-yards so I scaled it down to the proper ratio size for the 25-yard target. In competition you would shoot at each Figure 10 times and record a One-Point score for each hit. On this paper target I have five of each Figure shown, so you will need to shoot at each Figure two times and record you total score for each Figure that you hit ( see the attached target that I shot for an example ). Also attached is a pdf file for this Target to be printed out on 8-1/2x11 paper.

Thank you,
ThomasT

Thank you for that target! Do you mind if I share this over on the steel chickens forum? Or you can do it?

Was that standing or off the bench? With some relatives visiting I won't get to it until Saturday, but looking forward to it

And what happened on your turkeys?

Hello thauglor,

Yes share with everyone hope you have fun shooting it.
Bench rest sitting is how I shoot most of my targets.
I did not shoot at all of the Turkeys to show on the scoring.

Can this be moved to the target shooting challenges section?

Hello again thauglor,

I guess @Michael or someone would have to do that?

This is one tough target!! Much harder than real silhouette, and a great challenge. That chicken is tiny!

I didn't notice it until I set it up and started shooting, but the scaling is off a little bit. Properly scaled the targets are similar in size and that chicken is not that small.

@ThomasT, looks like this didn't take off.
Any idea why?

Hello @Raider03

Most likely because there are already so many challenges that are a bit harder. Most folks like a hard challenge, I know I do. I still shoot this target from time to time and enjoy shooting it. I also shoot this with Pistols at 10-Meters .
