Yellowstone Rifle Club - Black Powder Range Rules

This range was constructed in the 1970's for NRA Rifle Silhouette competition. It is also used for black powder cartridge rifle silhouette and black powder "buffalo" rifle matches. Silhouette targets are place at 200 meters, gallina (chicken); 300 meters, javelina (pig); 385 meters guajalote (turkey); and 500 meters borrego (ram). These targets are used for both the NRA rifle and the black powder cartridge matches. The gongs for "buffalo" rifle matches are placed at unspecified distances between 200 and 700 yards.
Shooting is restricted to cast lead bullets or conventional soft point hunting ammo. Armor piercing ammo may not be used. The range is closed when any of the Highpower Rifle firing lines (#1 on the map) are in use. Use of this range must be coordinated with the rimfire silhouette range (#3) - do not fire at the rams when anyone is on the rimfire range and firing must be stopped on both ranges before anyone goes forward to the targets on either range. Firing must be suspended when people are traveling to or from the shotgun area (#10) near the highpower pits.
