Running Boar Rifle

Running Boar Rifle Results

September 6, 2025

“Chamber Of Commerce” weather here in ‘Ol Cheyenne for the annual “Oktoberfest”  Running Boar Rifle shoot at Otto Rd Shooting Range.  Great turnout today and thanks to all for coming out.  Running Boar is a popular event  throughout Europe and was once a medal event in the Olympic Games.  Our event is similar except the range is reduced to 25 meters because the power cord for the moving target isn’t long enough to shoot at 50 meters.  

The target used is the ISSF/Olympic target that has very close concentric scoring rings over the vital area of the Running Boar.  A score can range from 1 point to 10 points with the ten ring about 2 inches in diameter.  10 individual shots are fired on the target as it moves from left to right.  Then 10 shots are fired as it moves from right to left.  Speed of the target is 15 feet per second and the target travels 60 feet so there is 4 seconds of exposure time.  Starting position is rifle loaded and at ‘low ready” or “port arms”.  When the target appears mount the rifle, establish lead and fire one shot.  Then repeat the procedure.  Needless to say it’s a difficult enterprise and a good test of a rifleman’s “Snap Shoot” skill on a moving target under time pressure.   There are three divisions - Centerfire Rifle, Rimfire Rifle, and Pistol Caliber Carbine.   Total 20 shots fired maximum possible score of 200-20X.  

Top score fired was Andy Rayland with a Ruger Scout Rifle in .308 caliber -132-0X

Runner up was Renee Kocina shooting an AR Rifle — 124-0X

A podium finish for Martha Silver (a personal best) with Ruger 10/22 — 109-0X

Thanks to Nick and Martha who helped set up range this morning.
