The Lapua Monarch Cup is a series of World-Class Smallbore Rifle Silhouette Matches conducted throughout North American.
Following an abbreviated schedule in 2022, this year’s event featured a (3) series competition in Canada, the United States and Mexico.
The 2023 Lapua Monarch Cup (LMC) was the must-attend event of this year’s Rifle Silhouette Shooting Season in North America.

About Us
With last year’s successful launch, the Lapua Monarch Cup is now recognized as a World-Class Event in Rifle Silhouette. Silhouette shooters from all over North America gathered to compete against the best. Friendships made and friendships renewed also made the Lapua Monarch Cup Series one to remember for all the participants. So come join us next year in 2024!
The birth of LMC began at the 2019 Mexico Smallbore Silhouette Championships. A small group of top Silhouette Shooters from Mexico, Canada and the USA met during this Championship Match and agreed to organize a North American Smallbore Silhouette Championship Series.
Work soon began with the Capstone Precision Group and Lapua agreeing to be the Title Sponsor for this newly created LMC Championship Series. Soon after, a LMC Board of Directors and Advisors was formed along with the establishment of the LMC Vision, Mission and Goals. While the Covid Epidemic delayed the launch of the LMC Championship Series until 2022, the dream born in 2019 in Saltillo is now a successful reality.
Get ready and plan to attend next year’s 2024 Lapua Monarch Cup!

Travel Information
Many Rifle Silhouette shooters have never experienced crossing the International borders between Canada, Mexico and the USA to shoot a Leg of the Lapua Monarch Cup (LMC). Regardless of the country hosting the match, the Host Clubs and Match Directors are required to assist all Rifle Silhouette shooters from other countries with travel tips, accommodations, lodging and other logistical matters. This is done to ensure every shooter is encouraged to participate in all LMC matches, have an exceptional experience and do so in a safe and orderly manner.
Mexico, Canada and the USA all have specific requirements for traveling through Customs with a firearm. We have included a summary of information on these specific requirements to get you started. You will be rewarded with perhaps the highlight of your time shooting Rifle Silhouette!
