I'm moving to the Albany, OR area and looking for a range or gun club that does rimfire benchrest matches, any info would be great, TIA.
Looks like 5-1/2hrs. Closer than Kali, and further than the Washington clubs on the other side of the mountains.Longer drive, but there is an extensive program of RFBR club matches at the Rattlesnake Mountain Shooting Facility in WA. See https://www.tcsahighpower.org/ pull down menu for calendar & match descriptions.
Mighty Mouse,MightyMouse, unfortunately there aren't any sanctioned matches in Oregon anymore. I'm just outside of Eugene and the only thing close is Capital Cities in Washington, I shoot there. We're always looking for new shooters. There's an informal match in Roseburg the first Sunday of the month, they use ARA targets, one at 50 yards and one at 75 yards but use an unusual scoring method. Emerald Empire Gun Club in Springfied holds a 100/200 yard match monthly. I believe Tacoma will be having N50 matches but I've not shot one yet. Also Sacramento holds IR50/50 Unlimited matches and I go down there for the State and Regionals that they hold on the same weekend usually around Sept. or Oct.

Jason, thanks for the update!The California clubs schedules have been posted to the site. Cap City will be gathered and posted soon as well. Emerald Empire and Tacoma both used to shoot IR5050 matches but that was before my time. Would love to have them shooting again if someone would like to be a match director.
