Arvada Rifle & Pistol Club
Indoor Rimfire Bench Rest
Fun Shoots
These shoots are held on the Arvada Rifle & Pistol Club’s 25-meter range and will be contested at 25 meters. AR&PC now has movable, but substantial, rifle shooting benches for right-handed and left-handed shooters.
We will use USBR 50-yard rimfire BR targets. We allow 5 minutes final set-up time and 25 minutes to shoot unlimited sighting shots on the three sighting bulls and one shot on each of the 25 “record” bulls. We plan to start shooting a relay every 40 minutes or so. Scoring will be off the line.
This is a fun match; entry fees will be $10.00 per shooter for one or two relays for AR&PC members, $15.00 for the first one or two relays for non-members. Re-entries will be allowed after everyone that comes gets a chance to shoot once. All re-entry targets after the first two will be $5.00.
There will be no awards. More rules or changes to the rules will be made up by the match directors when they feel it necessary. The match director is Doug Maxwell.
We plant to start preparation for the first relay at 1 pm and one of us should be at the club and on the range by 12:30. If you have questions, contact Doug Maxwell: email dkmaxwell3@gmail.com cell phone: (303) 907-1667.

Air Rifle Benchrest at ARPC

· Only .177 calibers are allowed. Lead pellets consistent with production availability only.

Introduction to Air Rifle Benchrest at ARPC
Requirements for Participation
● The primary equipment required is an air rifle chambered in .177 caliber, suitable for competition. Both spring-type and modern PCP models are permitted. For PCP rifles, they must be capable of firing at least 25 consecutive rounds without refilling. To preserve the integrity of our backstop, rifles are limited to a maximum velocity of 1100 feet per second as specified by the manufacturer.
● Ammunition is necessary; competitors will fire a minimum of 75 rounds during the competitive portion, with practice shots available without restriction. Domed pellets are recommended, as wadcutter types may become unstable beyond a distance of 10 meters.
● A mounted scope is strongly advised, though not mandatory. Achieving a clear sight picture of the bullseye is challenging without optical assistance. A minimum magnification of 20x is suggested, although some competitors successfully utilize scopes with 12x power.
● Safety glasses are compulsory and must be worn at all times during participation.
● Hearing protection is highly recommended since certain air rifles can produce significant noise.
● Individuals aged 18 or older may participate independently. Minors are welcome to join but must have parental supervision. We encourage youth involvement in the sport.
● A benchrest or sandbag is required for stability during shooting. Limited numbers are available for participant use. Bipods are permitted in competition; however, benchrests must allow the rifle to rest freely and not clamp it.
● Targets for the competition will be provided by the organizers.
● Air refills for PCP rifles are available onsite, eliminating the need for participants to bring personal hand pumps.
The objective of these guidelines is to foster growth and inclusiveness within the sport, ensuring new and prospective participants feel welcomed and supported. First-time attendees will be partnered with an experienced member for mentorship and guidance. Youth participation is highly encouraged, families are welcome to involve their children in this engaging activity.
