Rattle Battle Infantry Team Match
2025-10-05 14:00 - 20:00 | Birchwood Recreation and Shooting Park, 20269 Birchwood Spur Rd., Chugiak, Alaska
Join us in this action packed, fast paced Rattle Battle Infantry Team rifle match. It combines speed and rapid fire precision to score maximum points.The match involves teams of four shooters, with optional coach and captain, engaging six targets at three distances: 300, 200, 100 yard lines using the prone, sitting and kneeling positions, respectively. After each yard line is scored, teams advance in unison to the next yard line, carrying with them only their rifle and ammunition. Targets used will be E-type EIC Combat silhouette targets scored electronically on Shotmarker target systems. Ammo MUST be over 1200fps velocity at 300yds to score. Each team will need 256 rounds of ammunition to shoot the entire match, so 64 rounds per shooter. Each shooter should be issued ammunition in relation to his or her ability to achieve hits. You must have a minimum of 3 hits on a target to score any points and any targets fired by WW2 era rifles get a bonus of double point value for that target.
Online registration is required using this link: ARC Infantry Team Rattle Battle. Ideally, determine your 4 person team ahead of time, but if you don’t have a team, signup anyway and we’ll pair you up on match day. If you form a team in advance, email your team member names to President@akrifleclub.com. This helps us plan the team firing order and number of teams to support.
Cost $20 for BRSP members, $35 for non BRSP members.
One integral aspect of this match is swing shooting. Because a team of four firing members must engage six targets, typically the shooters on each end of the firing squad swing or shoot on two targets. Normally, right handed shooters swing from right to left while lefties swing from left to right. Watch this video of the full distance event fired a Camp Perry Camp Perry Infantry Team Match

CMP Rimfire Sporter 25/50yd
2025-10-06 17:30 - 21:30 | Birchwood Recreation and Shooting Park, 20269 Birchwood Spur Rd., Chugiak, Alaska
Please come at 5pm if you can to help with setup!
This is match is a fun format great for youth and adults. 60-rounds plus sighters 22 LR Rifle match with course of fire involving prone, sitting or kneeling at 50 yards and standing at 25 yards on CMP Rimfire Sporter targets. The idea is to use a basic off the shelf 22LR plinking, rabbit, squirrel type rifle with open sights or scope up to 6x with a trigger at least 3 pounds of pull weight. A sling of some kind is very helpful for prone and sitting to steady the rifle and score higher. If your rifle isn’t compliant with the rules, come anyway and you can shoot in an Unlimited Out of Competition category and scores won’t be submitted to CMP. CMP Achievement pins will be awarded for qualifying rifles that shoot cut scores.
For more information review the : CMP Guide to Rimfire Sporter Shooting.
Non BRSP Members welcome. Everyone must check in at the range office. You will pay the range $20 if you are a Birchwood Member. Non-BRSP members will pay the range $35. Bring a friend or relative.

Fun Vintage/Modern/Any Rifle 100yd

Please come at 5pm if you can to help with setup!
This is a fun and welcoming to new shooters 30-round plus 5 sighters rifle match on a 100-yard range using SR-1 paper targets. CMP Achievement pins will be awarded for qualifying rifles that shoot cut scores. Will follow the CMP As-Issued Military Rifle course of fire: 5 sighting shots, 10 prone slow fire shots, 10 prone rapid-fire shots, 10 standing slow fire shots. Sporting/hunting rifles will shoot 8 round strings or fewer rounds if you like.
You can also shoot the same course of fire using alternate positions like prone with bipod and rear bag, sitting, or kneeling. If you don’t want to use a sling you can use a bipod, tripod, bags or any other safe front and back rifle support. Alternate or supported positions just shoot for fun, not CMP pins or other award recognition. Pretty much any centerfire or rimfire rifle is fine to bring.
Non BRSP Members welcome. Everyone must check in at the range office. You will pay the range $10 if you are a Birchwood Member. Non-BRSP members will pay the range $25. Bring a friend or relative.

PRS22 Precision Rimfire Fall/Winter League
2025-10-22 18:00 - 21:30 | Birchwood Recreation and Shooting Park, 20269 Birchwood Spur Rd., Chugiak, Alaska
Welcome to the Birchwood Rimfire Precision Rifle League! This is a multi-stage 22LR match series shooting steel targets at distances up to 200 yards (100 yds for the winter season).
The league fee is $140 for BRSP members $190 for non-members. After the 2nd week, non-league shooters are welcome for $20 per match for BRSP members, $35/match for non members.
This fun, action packed match has multiple targets on each stage, at varying distances of 15 to 200 yards. Seasoned PRS competitors often use additional equipment such as bags, wind meters, bipods, and other gear If you don’t have any of those things, please do not be intimidated. Our competitors are very friendly and are often more than willing to share gear. This is a great opportunity to try gear to find out what you may want to purchase.
Please review the Precision Rifle Series Rimfire Rulebook https://prs-website-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/public/prs_rules_rimfire.pdf to find which division you qualify for (Production or Open) and if you qualify as a Senior, Junior, Lady, or Military/LE. League shooters will be required to register with PRS22. If you are registered with the PRS22, then your scores will be submitted there as well. https://www.precisionrifleseries.com/memberships. You can select rimfire only, or one of the combinations if you have centerfire aspirations.
PRS22 utilizes an online system called Practiscore for registration, live match scoring, and published results. Match booklets will be published typically about a week in advance. The match director reserves the right to make adjustments to the match, but any updates to target selection and distance will be announced during the safety brief.
In addition to mandatory signup for the full league here https://brspclub.clubautomation.com/calendar/programs or a single match entry here: https://brspclub.clubautomation.com/calendar/classes?tab=by-class, you will need to register on Practiscore here: https://practiscore.com/arc-prs22-league-at-brsp-winter-2026/register
Register for a Practiscore account if you don’t already have one. Please enter your PRS# on the Practiscore registration, not your BRSP member number. We are planning on having you register just once in Practiscore, and importing your information into each match. If you have any trouble signing up for the league or single match through BRSP club automation, call the clubhouse at 907-688-2809.
Bolt action rifles with scopes equipped with adjustable turrets are strongly recommended, but not required. Each match has multiple distances, so without adjustable scopes, you will have to “hold over” small targets. For this type of shooting, a First Focal Plane (FFP) scope is ideal.
BRSP Members and non-members are welcome. Everyone must be checked in at the main clubhouse prior to 6pm, and assembled at D Range by 6:15pm. The mandatory safety brief will be held at 6:15pm sharp. Help setting up earlier and staying to tear down is very much appreciated.
Recommend you “dope” your rifle prior to the first match (recording your elevation adjustments at various yardages). However, prior to the first match we will have a short period to do so. Recommend you bring at least 150 rounds per match. Only 22LR permitted (no .17HMR/WSM/22Mag/etc).
We will have end of season awards.

NEW 22LR Handgun Long Gong Challenge 50yd
2026-02-22 12:00 - 15:00 | Birchwood Recreation and Shooting Park, 20269 Birchwood Spur Rd, Chugiak, AK, 99567, United States
BRSP and ARC are pleased to announce a new handgun match coming to Birchwood. Handgun Long Gong is a 22LR handgun event shot 50 yards at a set of three gongs. 22LR handgun only, revolver or semi-auto, any sight without magnification. 50 rounds per match for score. Gong sizes are 8″, 6″, and 4″. Each size gong has a different point value, 1-3. Zero points for each miss. All shooting is done standing, two-handed from the firing line, with no additional support. Each string the shooter has 3 minutes to shoot 10 rounds starting on the 8″ gong. This time limit starts at the first shot. The only way to move to the 6″ is to achieve a hit on the 8″. Once the 8″ is hit, the shooter earns one point and may remain on the 8″ or attempt the 6″. If the shooter decides to attempt to shoot at the 6″ and hits, the shooter earns two points and may move to the 4″. If the shot is a miss, a zero for that shot is recorded on the scorecard and the shooter must move back to the 8″. Long Gong is not an NRA or CMP event and is shot only for challenging fun and bragging rights. If you have questions, please contact David at davidewings@att.net.
