I take great pleasure in announcing Riley Conservation Club as the host facility for the International Handgun Metallic Silhouette Association (IHMSA) 2022 National Championship. The event dates are July 8-13. Public is invited to attend as spectators. This will be our first major event under our new (read massive), 24' x 120' covered firing line with an additional 520 sq foot staging area. We have 24 shooting lanes, each are five feet wide.
Handgun silhouette has been around since the late 1970's, and Indiana Gun Club hosted the International Championship in 1983. While the number of competitors has declined, the skill level has greatly advanced. Rimfire events have steel knockdown targets at 25-100 yards, and centerfire guns will shoot from 50 meters to 200 yards. Both freestyle and standing events will be contested, and specialty pistols with extreme accuracy (both gun and shooter) will rule the events. Many rimfire and centerfire handguns in use will be capable of sub MOA accuracy. No artificial rests are allowed, all guns must be supported by only the shooter.
We have over 250 guns pre-registered, and air pistol (not pre-registered) will add more. This will be the largest sanctioned handgun silhouette match in the US this year.
Many thanks to our sponsors:
