Club Information Founded in 1906, the Los Angeles Rifle and Revolver Club (LAR&R) has been home to numerous National and Olympic precision smallbore rifle champions. It is presently the site of the CRPA California State Championships and NRA Regional Championships in conventional prone, metric prone, and three position smallbore rifle. The Club hosts eight major tournaments each year. It also holds monthly preliminary try-outs in accordance with USA Shooting, the development organization for the US Olympic Shooting Team. The Club also conducts prone matches every Sunday morning. กก In March 2010, USA Shooting named LAR&R Club as its Certified Training Center on the West Coast. This would no doubt increase exposures of our club nationally, but more importantly, USA Shooting's presence in Southern California would better promote the international style of competitive shooting in the western United States. The Training Center provides world class training and development opportunities to athletes, particularly juniors. LAR&R smallbore rifle range also offers year round outdoor training opportunities to the US National Rifle Teams. กก This range has been the training ground for a number of US Olympians in the past. James Hill - 1960 Olympic Silver Medalist, Victor Auer - 1972 Olympic Silver Medalist, David Kimes - 1980 Olympian and two-time World Champion, Alan Knowles-1984 Olympian, and Billy Meek -1992 & 1996 Olympian have all trained here. |
