Stl Bench Rest Rifle Club - Silhouette Range Facilities
Air Rifle Silhouette is like a scaled down rimfire silhouette match.  It consists of two rounds of 40 animals; ten each of chickens, pigs, turkeys, and rams. We shoot this indoors standing freehand in the large building.

but as of yet we still do not have enough room to shoot all the animals at the official NRA distances so we are shooting chickens at 10 yards and pigs at 15 yards and turkeys at 23 yards and rams at 30 yards.
 
We allow 177 and 22 cal air rifles and pistols and we try to keep the feet per second down to under 1000fps to keep from damaging our targets and backstops.
 
After shooting two 40rd matches of silhouette we shoot one round of 25 yard Benchrest for those who want to compete.

air max:
Do you have to use airrifles that are raited1000 fps or can you use one that shoots 1000 fps or slower useing lead pellets?

Slower air rifles are just fine.

Hello Mark....

How are ya?   Keeping well I hope.(?)   Gee, I guess I should have been paying much more attention that I have been... missed this shoot by over two months now... sheesh! :( :-[  So... did you make it to the shoot?..... and did you "embarrass yourself" as you thought you might? lol.... probably Not.  ;D

I haven't heard "boo" from Lobo, after his planned shoot fizzled... have written him, but no reply. 

My wife say's "maybe we should host a shoot here at our place"..... hmmmm, we'll have to see what next spring brings... hopefully and the Lord willing, it won't be a repeat (or worse) of last springs weather... but the way things are going on around this planet anymore, who knows WHAT we could wake up to from one morning to the next,  so we'll just have to wait and see... but we could host a shoot.

I went to the link for the St.Louis Benchrest Club, and noticed that Shane Seals is the contact person for the Airgun Shoots.... he's the one that had (still does??) the indoor 10M shoots at his shop in Josephville every Friday morning a few years back... and of which, I told you about.. and you went to on your way through on I-70 one time, if I remember correctly(?). ???

So.... how did you fair out at the St.Louis shoot that you mentioned here,  back in Oct.?   Was it well attended?

Seems like a fair drive from here to there, but if they're shooting for about 4 hours (6pm to 10pm?) every other Monday... it might be worth the drive for us.... I think it's probably about 4hrs drive just to get there(!!).... they still have the indoor 10M shoot every Thursday evening (6pm to 10pm-ish) at the E.Tulsa, OK. Gun Club facilities, and I think it's about a 2 hr. drive from here... I have their card, will have to call them and see if they're still at it.... haven't been there since spring of 2016.

Well... if I don't hear back from you before Christmas... A Merry and Blessed Christmas to you and your's.

Take care and may you always hit what you're aiming at. ;D
