The Lapua Monarch Cup, one of the most prestigious smallbore rifle silhouette competitions in North America, has officially announced its 2025 schedule. Now in its fourth year, the Cup features a two-part series of smallbore standard rifle silhouette matches contested in the United States and Canada.
The Lapua Monarch Cup is centered around the annual U.S. Smallbore Rifle Silhouette National Championships, with a second host country selected through a proposal process. The 2025 competition schedule is as follows:
- 1st Match – Canadian National Smallbore Silhouette Championships
- Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada
- June 20 – July 1, 2025
- 2nd Match – NRA National Smallbore Silhouette Championships
- Raton, New Mexico, USA
- July 20-22, 2025
Competitors earn scores from each match within their respective classifications (Master, AAA, AA, & A), allowing all participants the opportunity to compete for a share of $25,000 in cash prizes distributed across the two events.
“We are excited to continue the tradition of the Lapua Monarch Cup and provide competitors with an unparalleled competition experience,” said Adam Braverman, Lapua’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing and an advisor to the Cup. “This event not only showcases top-tier marksmanship but also fosters camaraderie among shooters across North America.”
The Lapua Monarch Cup Board consists of esteemed members of the shooting community, including Erich Mietenkorte, Daniel Salazar, Jason Marsh, Jose (Pepe) Valdes, and Chris Cawthorne, with Adam Braverman serving as an advisor.
