What is Silhouette Shooting? With National Champion John Mullins & Dan Cates

[@AccuracySpeaks]

The best video on here about silhouette shooting I have found to this day!! Excellent job!!

[@joshuagibson2520]

Oh. This reminded me that I have a Marlin 2000. Not really a silhouette gun, but thanks for reminding me! Haven't had it out in a while.

If you have more footage of the discussion at the end I would beg you to post it, seems like it was edited quite a bit. That type of information is so valuable and to get it straight from the best shooters is so helpful. Maybe a part 2 if they're willing?

[@joaquin-jacknava2696]

Pretty cool interview. These folks seem really down out right great folks. Keep us updated on more info on silhouette shooting Kenny

[@stevenb-nh2xf]

Thanks for the introduction.

[@shanestrike7564]

Hey Kenny, ask them about the Aussie who won both the Rimfire and Hipower Nationals a couple of years ago before Covid😉

Fascinating! I used to shoot Handgun silhouette back in the 90's and the 00's. That game has all but died out. It was nowhere near as difficult as Rifle, big bore targets at 50, 100, 150, 200 meters, but it was great fun. Some of my best friends I met in handgun silhouette. I really miss it. We used to get 30 seconds to load and 2 minutes to fire for 5 targets. I used to love that! NRL22 is so much more difficult for me. Of course I'm 20 years older and about 60 pounds bigger now. Thanks for the video!

A great way to practice to be a better shot, when out hunting you don't always have a chance for a rest for your rifle, this is certainly something I need to try at our range. Great video thanks

[@aussiesteveakastevecallagh2280]

Looks like great fun Kenny, I’ll have to see if there are any competitions near me in Melbourne Australia I haven’t heard of any , if anyone knows of any let me know .

[@mikekerwood6596]

Good Job by talking to winners in other Centerfire and Rimfire shooting disciplines. Looks like fun,and learn stuff that may carry over to other builds . They probably know secrets that would help in NRL & PRS shooting, but getting them to divulge everything may be the hard part. Like you say "Learn Precision Together" . I started Handgun Silhouette over 45 years ago.Any competition helps you learn how to shoot better,by networking with the folks you`re shooting against. Let us know what you learn Kenny.Thanks for the post Mike K.

Late 1970s. Bar DR Stock Farm. Zwolle, Louisiana. We shot Remington 700 Varmint Special, .308 Win, Sierra 168 MKHP, 40gs 4895 with a canjar trigger. Plaid pants and hair. Col. Lones Wigger and David Tubb shot our matches with us.

[@craigrussell1101]

I really enjoyed this video; going to check matches in my area.

[@kubikariYOU]

Thanks to you and your guests, very good video.

[@plisken2222]

Awesome video, was nice meeting you on saturday. Looking forward to more videos on silhouette shooting and you shooting it! The more people learning about this the better!

[@unclejohn1053]

Super cool video. Packed with all kinds of stuff.. thanks!

[@edgerat]

SB silhouette is the most fun I have ever had at a shoot. In the PNW it was a pretty big deal with the Conard Bernhardt Cup drawing upwards of a hundred people every year to little old Pe Ell, WA When I was into it deep, I had a "hunter" class rifle and shot hunter and standard with the hunter class rifle.

[@emmettdibble8404]

John is a class act. Silhouette is a VERY hard but it translates to every other type of shooting. Even if you are mediocre at silhouette you are way better then people who just shoot prone or off a bench.

[@sjohnson1776]

Good to see an Eagle Eye video up! My home club does silhouette shooting competitions. I don't think my .22 Ranger will meet the criteria but I may be wrong about that. Until this video appeared I had no idea what it was all about. I think they call it small bore....thanks for the info!

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

I’m looking forward to watching your dive into the wonderful World of silhouette shooting. Me thinks that you are working on a silhouette rifle build right now 😀

[@ShooterB1]

Pretty cool discipline, looking forward to the videos.

[@jwoodshed1108]

Great video. Our silhouette shooter went from 60-70 every Sunday to about 10 shooters. All in about 15-20 years. Small bore. It’s very fun and challenging.

[@maxcoatlhunter4322]

Great video and great info too, thanks.

[@bryanduchane2371]

Have a small club near me that does this type of shooting once a month with 22 pistols. Started to move towards a ticket league right before COVID, but left that club around the same time it was starting up...

[@ironduke2660]

I was wondering how you ever made out with your silhouette experience> I enjoy your videos, and I think your channel is enlightening in the shooting sports, I live in Central PA. near the Ridgeway Rifle club, and have shot there since the 80s, Accuracy is a must in the silhouette game, and one cant deny the advantages to a rifle that shoots well. However, that type of accuracy only gets you so far, skill, practice, technique, trigger control, balance will help far more than shooting 0.35" groups from a solid rest. What's missing in your type of shooting is practical position shooting, specifically off hand, with no support. The mechanics of benchrest shooting are far easier and more equipment related than a skill set. My guess is that you've tried it, and found out that the difficulty factor increased by 200%. And the follow up videos are not to flattering.

[@unclejim2330]

Hunter class all the way, more realistic, no suit’s or gloves. 👍 Great vid.

[@kurt5490]

And you get to shoot twice with the same rifle!

[@Reload4Hobby]

I literally stumbled upon a high power silhouette match at my local club the same day this video came out.

[@g4outdoors]

Awesome video! It is a pretty humbling sport for sure lol.

[@maximilianmustermann5763]

There's such a difference between different lots of rimfire .22 ammunition that even olympic pistol shooters test their own guns at the factory and then buy a truckload full of the best lot they can find. A certain brand or type doesn't mean anything, you have to find the perfect lot for your gun.

[@kcstott]

that reverse taper is called "swamped" from the muzzle loading days.

[@T.A.B.Videos]

I shot for 20 yrs in IHMSA handgun version

[@westcovinadodge]

time to get your little target setters busy.

[@wm.traynor1143]

I like his left eye "blinder" 11m 17s Looks like it was made for it.

[@Plainsimple67]

I USE TO SHOOT THE RIMFIRE YEARS AGO WITH MY ANSCHUTZ SINGLE SHOT, IT CAN BE VERY CHALLENGING!!😉👉
