Smallbore Section

Matches

Every year we run several matches, LSBA matches in the winter once a month from November to March. In the Spring we run our annual Polar Bear match. In the Summer from May to September we are part of the informal Summer League matches and soon we'll be trying to have a fall outdoor match.

Sporting rifle

Sporting Rifle is the most popular form of Smallbore rifle shooting in Canada.
Matches are 60 shots in three sets of 20 prone or three position: prone, standing kneeling with a .22 single shot rifle with iron sights. Activities range from recreational shooting at local clubs, through inter-club leagues, and up to Provincial and Canadian Championships.
The Shooting Federation of Canada and ONTarget are the organizations that run the matches and keep track of classifications. Rules are here: 2006 Sporting Rifle Rules

Precision Rimfire

Targets are arranged at 25, 50, 75 and 100 yards with target sizes varying from ¼” to 6”. Shooters have to engage them from different positions and may have to switch positions and props during a stage. Currently we're looking at finding someone to run this program.
