Any safe, single shot, breech-loading rifle, of American design patent, produced prior to 1896 with an exposed hammer, original or reproduction, using metallic sights typical of the era. Maximum weight is 12 lbs. 2oz. Rifles must be chambered for cartridges of the American black powder era.

Scoped Mounted BPCRS Rifles: Rifles must conform to the same dimensions and specifications as listed above. Add-on cheek rest of any height is allowed. Maximum weight of rifle, including scope and mounts, is 15 lb. Scope tube body must be ¾ inch or less in diameter and any ocular or objective lenses or adjusting or assembly rings to be 1 inch or less in diameter. Scope mounts are to be of a traditional style of the period, and contain the windage and elevation adjustments for the scope in either or both mounts. No click adjustments in the mount. Ammunition: Ammunition must be loaded with 100% black powder or Pyrodex only. Bullets may be cast or swaged and must be composed entirely of lead or lead alloy, lubricated or paper patched without gas checks. The above is only a summary of the rules. A complete Rifle Silhouette Rule book can be obtained from the NRA.

Vintage Military Rifle Silhouette: FUN MATCH! This is intended to be a fun, semi-formal match using military rifles from the late 1800s through the 1950’s. Rifles may be single shot, repeating, or semi-automatic from any nation in “as-issued” condition*. The match format will be the same as BPCRS (allowing sighting shots and same shooting positions). Examples of USA rifles are US Krag Rifle or carbine (.30-40 Krag), Winchester 1895 Musket or Carbine, 1903 Springfield (and A3, A4), U.S. Model 1917 Enfield, M1 Garand and M1A. Minimum caliber is 6mm and all ammunition must be SOFT POINT or HOLLOW POINT bullets. No FMJ, armor piercing, or tracers will be allowed. There will be separate classes for those shooting “as-issued” sights and those shooting “scope” sights (and possibly aperture target sights). There will be awards/prizes for the match. (*Any sights will be allowed including aperture micrometer target sights and scopes resembling those typically found on vintage bolt action sniper rifles.)

Championship Matches - Classification & Awards

The NRA Black Powder Cartridge Rifle Silhouette rules and classification system will govern. Unclassified shooters will shoot in the highest class. If less than four shooters enter in a class, then that class will be combined with the next higher class. Scores for the two days will be combined for an 80-shot aggregate.
