ammunition at one set of silhouettes, they will be
directed to move their unloaded guns and ammunition
to the next set of (10) ten targets at the new
distance.

Rim
fire Pistol Portion
Every aspect of the pistol silhouette course of fire
remains exactly the same as the rifle course, with
the exceptions that all targets are moved to (½)
half the distance and the course is shot only once
around, thus totaling (40) forty rounds of
ammunition fired. The pistol portion of the shoot is
held following the rifle portion. Many shooters
compete in both events.
