Had a Positive Experience? Someone help you out? Business did great work? Internet sellers come through for you? Let everyone know!

The unfortunate reality today is that not everyone or every business is “as advertised”. If after a sincere attempt to get things right someone still lets you down – do your part and let others know so they do not fall victims as well.

Within these threads you will find discussions about random IHMSA topics.

Air Pistol can provide year round fun with matches held indoors and out. With price caps for production classes, it is a great entry into the sport of silhouette shooting. Great for Junior shooters as well! Don’t be fooled though – tiny Air Pistol targets are not as easy to hit as you may think!

Using factory loaded .22LR and a combination of production pistols, revolvers and an array of unlimited guns, this game drops steel at up to 100M down range. The perfect entry into Metallic Silhouette shooting.

This game shoots at slightly larger targets then Small Bore, at the same distances up to 100M using production class pistols. Ammunition moves up to straight walled, center fire pistol cartridges as well as .22 Hornet, 32-20, .270 REN, 25-20 rounds. Small catch – it is Standing Only.

Prefer higher power pistols? Up to the challenge of hand loading the perfect rounds? How about moving the targets out to 200M? This is the game for you!

PCP, CO2, Spring Action, Lever/Pump - if it shoots pellets and is powered by air...discuss it here!

Silhouette shooting has it's roots in hunting and is primarily used to hone one's skills in this area for many shooters. Discuss your experiences here...

The National Rifle Association also includes silhouette competition. The rules, distances and guns are slightly different, but there are many “cross over” shooters that play in both with the same skills and equipment.

100/200/300M, 600/1000 Yard Benchrest, F-Class, High Power, Palma. These guys are serious and their marksmanships and technical knowledge is top notch.

Did you ever play cowboys and Indians as a kid? If you never outgrew that phase and now just spend a whole lot more money on the costumes and use real guns – this is the game for you! Through all the fun and “dress-up” there is actually some real shooting going on here somewhere…

Sometimes in our lives and our sport people that play a role and impact us greatly move on. Please let us never forget the contributions these folks have made.
