We had a great day at Burbank Rifle and Revolver Club (BRRC) on in Castaic, California, on February 8, 2025, with a record turnout for our first-ever CMP Rimfire Sporter Regional Championship.
There were 22 scorecards turned in across all three categories. We also filled up the line with 10 new(ish) competitors attending the clinic, including four women and three juniors. In addition, world-class coaches from our club provides one-on-one training and guidance for the new individuals.
Three golds and nine bronzes (three medallions and six pins) were handed out the match, which is also a record. Match winners received Burbank Rifle and Revolver Club plaques, along with $50 gift certificates from CMP.
This year’s champions are David Chase (T-Class), Jace Millan (O-Class) and Brandon Ammann (TU-Class).
The match was also the culmination of the “Castaic Marksmanship League 2024,” and I’m happy to announce that our Rimfire Sporter League Champion is Jace Millan, with an average of 589.667 for his top three scores of the year in T-Class. This race was close for the second half of the year—Millan won by a margin of .667, which made the league all the more fun to follow.
My wife, Aileen Chase, served a delicious pulled pork sandwich lunch between relays, which looks like the start of a tradition. We also had my co-director, DeWayne Wolfer, weighing trigger and rifles along with his wife Bunny, who put up signs, took pictures and provided great support.
Rimfire Sporter is an important part of our club’s program, as it’s the ideal event to introduce new or experienced individuals into competitive shooting. Because of this, we will be hosting at least six matches in 2025 and would like to make a regional and annual event, complete with BBQ, either as a year-end event or as a warm-up for the CMP Western Games.
