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 in 2023!
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 the 2023 Lapua Monarch Cup!
