It is a clearinghouse for participants and scheduled matches, and provides information about upcoming events and rules at its instructive website. Truly a shooting sports arena for the entire family, Rimfire Challenge Shooting Association offers the complete calendar of monthly matches, as well as prestigious sanctioned matches throughout the US.
