Join us the first and third Sunday of the month at 9:00 am for
a real blast from the past.
Our Regular matches are held on the first Sunday of each
month, weather permitting, at our outdoor range.
On the Third Sunday of each month we shoot the NRA Winchester Qualifiers for
both pistol and rifle.
Anyone interesting in participating in these matches much have already shot in
at least 1 regular match and own their own equipment. For club members, we will
supply equipment at regular matches for one match only (to see if you like the
sport and to also help you see what type of firearm you might want to purchase).
Anyone interesting in participating in these events should contact Lance
Brunner. The fee for members is $5.00 and we
charge $20.00 for non members.
- The OBRPC Blackpowder League has been operating for over
twenty years.
- We offer the opportunity to shoot blackpowder style
firearms in competitive but friendly matches.
- Out shoots start with a pistol match at 25 yards using
Single shot, cap and ball revolvers or black powder cartridge revolvers.
- We fire 13 shots at a B-19 target, top 10 shots are
counted.
- We have two divisions, one for the single shot firearms
and one for revolvers.
Following the pistol match, we shoot rifles beginning at 50
yards, were we shoot seven shots at a B-6 target followed by 13 shots at 100
yards using an SR-1 target.
The aggregate score of 150 is used to determine our winners. The Rifle matches
are divided into four divisions, A being Patch and Ball, B covers all conical
type shot, C covers all Blackpowder cartridge and D is for any smoothbore style
rifle (we do use a slightly different format for the smoothbores, shooting at 25
and 50 yard distances).
