Left = Full size ram. In NH, only shot in the CLA game as offered at Pemigewasset Fish & Game (Pemi). This ram is shot with iron sights, lever gun, at 200m. Only one thickness. In Pennsylvania they shoot this same animal at 500m with a high power rifle and scope. But not here in NH. High Power Silhouette is the hardest version of this sport!
Middle = 1/5th scale ram. In NH, this is shot at 100m at all three clubs with scoped, rimifre rifles. Called Smallbore Rifle and Smallbore Hunter Rifle. You can use iron sights but it is not recommended. Also, most clubs are painting their 1/5th white. A change to be more in line with the rest of the country. It is black here for the picture and comparison. Only one thickness.
Right = 1/2 scale ram. In NH, this is shot at 100m at Purgatory Falls and Pioneer. Pemi is now CLA only.
- There is a thick version that weights 14 lbs. This is shot by Pistol Cartridge Rifle and Hunter pistol, scoped, iron. And, Scoped Club rimfire rifle Expert.
- There is a thin version weighing about 7 lbs. This is shot by Smallbore Cowboy Rifle (SBR) and Smallbore Hunter pistol, scoped and iron. And we tend to get youth in on the thin with whatever they bring because it is not fun having an animal not fall when you hit it.
