High Power Silhouette Championship T
he Texas State High Power Silhouette Championship was held Sept. 17-18, 2016 and there were participants from Texas, Louisiana and Missouri. This championship was proudly hosted by the Heart of Texas Silhouette Association.
It was a beautiful weekend for the match and everyone had a great time. The Texas State High Power Silhouette Top Gun was Dustin Flint, who walked away with several awards donated by our generous sponsors, including the Top Award — 50 percent off a Defiance Bolt Action ($755 value) with t-shirt and cap.
Special and sincere thanks and appreciation to all our sponsors: Lapua, Defiance Machine, Vortex, Precision Rifle Barrels, Brux Barrels, Sierra, Krieger Barrels, McMillan Fiberglass Stocks, and Redding Reloading Equipment. This championship would not have been successful without their generosity. Every participant walked away from this championship with an award and/or door prize(s) from our sponsors. Thank you everyone for coming out and competing! We hope to see you again next year in Coolidge, Texas.
