Paper Plate Shoot 2007

‘Silver Bullet’ Shield

The fourth annual ‘Silver Bullet’ paper plate shoot took place on Sunday 23 September 2007. This particular competition is for Under-lever Carbines with each competitor required to shoot three details at 20, 35 & 50 yards. Each detail requires 18 rounds of ammunition with 54 rounds required in total.

Starting with just 6 rounds loaded into the rifle, there were just 120 seconds to take 6 shots kneeling, 6 shots weak shoulder and 6 shots strong shoulder inc. all reloading necessary.

The club “Silver Bullet” shield was at stake for this event and a good turn-out was made with 11 competitors entering this competition. Steve G. stole first place from Andrew by a single point this year and took the shield home for the third year running! Come on guys, this is getting embarrassing for us all – let’s get practicing in time next year and give him a proper run for his money!

We know there are lots of ORPC members that have Under-lever carbines and hope to see a few more contenders on the firing point in 2008 for this exciting and challenging event!
