Default Archery Silhouette Shooting

Are you a good shot with a rifle like shooting steel Smallbore Rifle Silhouette with a 22 caliber rifle? Free standing steel animal targets are Chickens (25meters), Pigs(50 meters), Turkeys (75 meters) and Rams at 100 meters. A timed competition with sets of 2-1/2 minutes each to fire 5 shots 5 animals. 10 total at each of the 4 different animals in a 40 round match or 15 at each animal in a 60 round match.

Try it with an arrow.

I'm still pondering what to use for targets. Dont want to shoot at steel plate with with my carbon arrows. More than likely use the 100gr G5 Small Game Head. Thinking of maybe making my critters out of 1/2" Lexan.

I will warn you not to use 1/2 Lexan....I have pictures somewhere where I tested 1/2 Lexan as a safety backstop for side windows on a shooting lane....
arrow whizzed thru and sheared off all the vanes...lol true story!!
