Based on what I hear back from folks the first annual Silhouette Clinic was a big hit. Everyone, whether a veteran competitor wanting to learn more about silhouette or the new shooter looking for a way to enjoy shooting with others, had a good time.
Given that we shoot so many different silhouette categories simultaneously, it is a daunting task to figure out what is what. I think that we have 12 shooters who could explain it to anyone that asks.
Even more exciting we had youth as well as some very interested new shooters. Not new to shooting, but new to Silhouette as a shooting sport. I like this picture because it shows two new shooters, young and old, with some pretty darn good form just after half a day of coaching. They were even hitting the animals and dropping them to the earth!
The Purple Gun: Folks asked what it is. Well, it is home made stock out of plywood and bondo. The problem with youth guns with scopes is trying to help them get their head in the right position. This stock has a high comb to help compensate for their smaller head. I made the pistol grip too long and would shrink it to fit smaller hands next time. I was not thinking. The action is a bone stock CZ452 Scout. I cannot say enough good things about the Scout. Of the many recent offerings, it is the ONLY youth option unless you have more money than sense. I would put this barreled action in an adult stock and shoot it. I bought mine new in 2003 for $200. No idea what they are today.
