The Smallbore Benchrest matches are held at PCSI from April through October. The matches start at 10:00 am on Range 8.

The match is divided into three classes. Open sight Class or "C" , Sporter Class or "B" and Unlimited or "A" class. All classes have a few rules in common. All firearms must be chambered in .22 cal rimfire. Either class can use breach, magazine, or single feed loading. All classes are fired from the existing benches. You will need to provide your own rest. This can be as simple as a homemade sandbag,  but note that the front rest cannot be physically attached to the rear rest. Match targets are provided and the cost is $5.00 per match. Depending on attendance, as many as four (4) matches may be shot per day. You are welcome to shoot as few or as many as you like. These matches are fired at 50 yards. You may shoot as many matches as you wish, but the first match fired is your "score" match and the only one used in calculating your total aggregate.

Rimfire pistols are legal for in all classes if they meet all other requirements.
