The North Louisiana Indoor Air Rifle Silhouette Regional, a.k.a. "the Chicken Coop shoot", is this weekend. Shooters from Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and possibly Georgia are expected to be there.
It's held in a converted (cleaned up) commercial chicken house over 100 yards long although Air rifle silhouette only needs 45 yards from the firing line to the farthest targets (the Rams).
Most air rifle silhouette matches are held outside, but since the NRA distinguishes between outdoor and indoor most of us in this region only get our indoor scores from this match. I've been to this match only once, last year, so I'm looking forward to seeing how the progress I've made in my overall shooting translates to an indoor setting where you don't have to worry about the wind throwing your pellet off-target.
For those of you interested in seeing what happens at this match the organizers will be live-streaming the match at this YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/GarinHatch
I'll post my own personal report after I get back.
