For those of you not familiar with air gun silhouette, it's pretty simple as shooting competition goes. You shoot at smaller 1/10 scale size chicken, boar, turkey and ram metal silhouettes. 10 shots at each one for a possible score of 40. Knocking over a silhouette counts as a hit. If the silhouette remains standing, no score. Since these silhouettes are very light, the really go flying when hit. Lots of fun. Here's a pic with the distances in yards for both the pistol and the rifle competitions.
Now if you think this is easy, note that the standard air gun competition is done from a standing position, no rest of any sort. There are some versions that allow shooting from a rest, but this shooting sport is all about shooting offhand.
And here's my 2300S with a 3x Burris scope with an AO. Some competitors actually mount a rifle scope on their pistol, but whatever scope you choose will need to have an AO or SF to deal with parallax. And, of course, there are iron sight only classes, hence the excellent Williams open sights on this pistol.
And here we see that the Crosman 2300S is a very capable silhouette air pistol.
This is a fun way to shoot and, especially with air pistol silhouette, you can easily set up a range in most backyards. Give it a try. Enjoy.
