Castaic, California– March 2025– We had a great day at Burbank Rifle and Revolver Club (BRRC) on Feb. 8 in Castaic, Calif., with a record turnout for our first-ever Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) Rimfire Sporter Regional Championship – 22 Scorecards turned in across all three categories.

We also filled up the line with 10 new/newer competitors attending the clinic, including four women and three juniors! We had world-class coaches from our club who were able to provide one-on-one training and guidance for our new individuals.
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 triggers and rifles along with his wife Bunny, who put up signs, took pictures, and provided great support.
Thanks so much for the medallions and gift certificates for this match! We gave out three Gold and nine Bronze (three medallions and six pins), which is also a record. Match winners received BRRC plaques and $50 gift certificates, donated by the CMP. This year’s champions are: David Chase (T-Class), Jace Millan (O-Class), and Brandon Ammann (TU-Class).
This 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 very close for the last half of the year, and Jace won by a margin of .667, which made the league all the more fun to follow!
Rimfire Sporter is an important part of our club’s program, as it’s the ideal event to introduce new or experienced individuals to 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 just before the CMP Western Games, as a warm-up.
Thanks again to the CMP for all your support and for allowing us to run this event!
