2017 Canada Smallbore Silhouette Champion
We don’t know if there is an official “Lady Rifle Shooter of the Year”, but we would nominate Silhouette shooter Cathy Winstead-Severin, based on her amazing shooting so far this summer. Cathy has delivered some truly dominant performances recently. In mid-July, competing at the Ridgway Rifle Club in PA, Team Lapua’s Cathy Winstead-Severin won the 2017 Hunter Rifle NRA Smallbore Silhouette Championship. Cathy scored 110/120 to win her 20th NRA National Silhouette title. Then Cathy went on to win both the Standard and Hunter High Power Rifle Silhouette National Championships.
With those victories, Cathy completed a clean sweep of Smallbore (Rimfire) AND High Power (Centerfire) awards — a stunning achievement. Cathy was using Lapua cases, VihtaVuori powder, and a combination of Lapua and Berger bullets to win her 21st and 22nd National Silhouette Titles.
More Glory Across the Border — Cathy Wins in Canada Too!
Less than three weeks after her wins at the USA National Silhouette Championships, Team Lapua’s Cathy Winstead-Severin ventured north and won the Canadian NFA National Smallbore Silhouette Championship. After the match she also hosted a very informative clinic for other shooters. Congratulations Cathy Winstead-Severin. You have our vote for Lady Shooter of the Year. We also thank Team Lapua for providing support for major Silhouette Championship events.

Glad to see Cathy get some recognition. I have shot with her for years and she is one of the greats. Definitely one of one of the greatest shooters of our time.
Agreed. Thanks to the author for this well deserved recognition. She is perhaps the greatest off hand rifle shooter of modern times. “PROOF” The bench proves the rifle. Standing proves the shooter. Rock on, girl!
Cathy is an outstanding shooter, but more she is an outstanding person as seen in her clinic in Canada. It has been my pleasure to know her.
It’s official. She also won the Canadian small bore and high power National silhouette matches.
Long live the Queen of silhouette.
