LRPC Air Rifle
50-yd and 100-yd Benchrest Match

Air gunning is becoming a rapidly growing discipline in the shooting sports in the United States. These matches are intended to demonstrate the impressive accuracy achievable with modern air rifles while introducing shooters to the air gun community. Air rifles can also provide an affordable way to practice precision shooting skills used in firearm competition and hunting.

These are standalone matches designed to showcase precision while encouraging friendly competition and camaraderie. Scores do not accumulate toward season standings like other club matches.

Both members and non-members are welcome to participate. If the match fills, club members receive priority registration.

A full set of match procedures and rules is available in the Air Rifle Match Rules document below.
