History:

The L.S.B.A. (Lakeshore Small Bore Association) is a series of matches shot once a month, put together many years ago by a group of clubs along Lake Ontario.

The matches were a winter activity designed to eliminate the travelling to other clubs (shoot at your own club) and allowed shooters to compete by having all the scores mailed to one location.

The various classes were all for .22 RF rifles.  Air rifle and air pistol were added later.

Two of the last classes added were Hunter Rifle Prone and Hunter Rifle Standing. These classes are designed to create participation. The rifle can be any .22 RF rifle you might have, with or without a scope, and Match Rifles are excluded. This allows participants to be as competitive as they wish without having to buy another rifle or any expensive accessories.

The standing class was designed for pistol clubs where the shooting positions do not facilitate the prone position and allow more variety and opportunity to shoot. All classes are factored to allow shooters with different ability levels to be competitive and there are awards at the end of the season. We always have a couple of different time slots available every month at our club.

So, dust off that rifle you have in the back of the gun safe and come to the range!!  Bring the family or a friend.
