The 50th Annual Nebraska Youth Smallbore Silhouette Invitational will be September 26, 2026 at the Pressey Wildlife Management Area (located 17 miles south of Broken Bow). This is a FREE event, open to all youth age 11 or older who have successfully completed Hunter Education and who have not yet graduated from high school. Proof of Hunter Education completion is required.

All first-time participants at the event will receive one free box of .22 ammo!

This metal target event is meant to be fun while providing a challenge for .22 rifle shooters from beginner to advanced. Each participant will shoot 40 scoring shots from a standing position: 10 shots at 44 yards, 10 shots at 66 yards, 10 shots at 84 yards, and 10 shots at 109 yards.

The range will open for practice at 8 a.m. Scoring relays will begin at 10:30 a.m. and conclude mid-afternoon. Individuals are encouraged to enter and may opt to join their scores with others for team rankings. Individuals and teams will compete against others in their own class according to age, rifle weight, sight type, and experience level. Trophies and medals will be awarded to the winners of each class.

Ear and eye protection will be required for all persons on the line. An empty chamber indicator (ECI) will be required; indicators are available if you do not have one.
