I shot Hunter’s Pistol Metallic Silhouette Big Bore Matches for several years in the early 1980’s. Both my boys enjoyed shooting the matches also. The oldest shot big bore and the youngest shot small bore. It was great fun to cast bullets and work up accurate loads for the .357 Magnum.
Below are pictures of my gun case and you can see the decals from 1980 era. The NRA was pushing for 2 million members at the time. My S&W Model 27—.357 Magnum with 8 3/8” barrel used for big bore matches and my S&W Model 17 in .22LR with 8 3/8” barrel used for small bore matches. Both guns have Leopold 4X - EER Pistol Scopes.
In 1980 our Gun Club hosted the NRA Hunter’s Pistol Silhouette National Championship here in Amarillo, Texas. It was a 2 day Tournament and believe it or not, a woman won the overall championship. That Lady was a dead shot.
Do you shoot your Model 29 at 100 meters or 200 meters?
