NEWLY UPDATED!
NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program
One of the NRA's most popular shooting programs -- the NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program -- has been revamped. The program now includes two new and exciting courses of fire: Rifle Silhouette Shooting and Pistol Silhouette Shooting! We've also added a Bianchi precision target (D-2) to the Handgun Qualification Course.
The NRA Rifle Silhouette course of fire is designed to introduce rifle shooters to the sport of Rifle Silhouette shooting. Through this course of fire, beginner and expert silhouette shooters can develop skills they need for competitive or recreational shooting. Using a high power rifle, smallbore, or air rifle shooters can progress through the skill levels to earn the unique NRA Rifle Silhouette Qualification ratings.
The NRA Pistol Silhouette features courses of fire for smallbore pistols, hunter's pistol, and air pistol. Whether your interested in a fun recreational activity or in honing your competitive skills, this course sets challenging, yet attainable scores.
The sport of metallic silhouette shooting, or siluetas metálicas, originated around 1914 in Mexico with rebel leader Pancho Villa and his men. Both silhouette courses use "knockdown" targets in the shapes of chickens (gallina), pigs (javelina), turkeys (guajalote), and rams (borrego).
