Legend has it our Rifle Silhouette sport had its origins with Pancho Villa’s men in Northern Mexico during the 1910-1919 Border War with General Pershing and U.S. Army troops. Bets about who was the best shot among Villa’s men led to live animal shoots at distance to prove who was the real Champion! After the conflict, Villa’s men returned home and carried these live-animal sporting events with them using their high power hunting rifles. Eventually live animal shoots were replaced with metal cutouts of animals, partly due to public pressure, birthing “Silhuetas Metalicas” (Metallic Silhouette).
Fast forward over 100 years, Mexico continues this long and strong tradition of Silhuetas Metalicas, making it the number one shooting sport in Mexico. Many of Mexico’s 31 Federal States have numerous Rifle Silhouette Clubs and competition is intense with the State winner of the Mexico National Championship claiming the right to host the following year’s Mexico National Championship.
