UPDATED: 2025 Match Details and Information and More Benches!

Matches will be conducted in accordance with the American Rimfire Association (ARA) rules and the results will be sent to ARA for State of Florida and National Rankings.

Classes: Factory and Unlimited

Schedule: Matches are held on the 1st Friday of the month. Matches will typically last approximately 3-4 hours depending on the number of shooters.
We have expanded and now have a total of 14 benches available for each match. With this expansion we will no longer conduct the 2nd Factory match.
For all scheduled club matches – Factory and Unlimited matches will be conducted on the same day and will alternate which class shoots first each month.
