This is the most critical part of the Lethal Weapons Match. We are designing this match to revolve around iron sight 80's/90's retro movie guns. This means you can leave your open division race guns at home... All competition rifles must be in rifle configuration or have a brace installed to be accepted into the match.
Please see "Approved Firearm List" below. We did our best to cover all of the major rifles, if you have questions concerning rifle eligibility or would like to request something not listed on the "Approved Firearm List", please send an email to

How many stages is the Lethal Weapons Match? What is the division structure? Can I shoot the match twice or in multiple divisions?The Lethal Weapons Match is an 8 Stage, two-day match hosted by Dissident Arms. The match takes place on Saturday 3/11 and Sunday 3/12, with an option to shoot the full match early on Friday 3/10. The weekend match structure allows competitors to complete 4 stages on Saturday 3/11 and 4 stages on Sunday 3/12 using an AM/PM rotation. For example, shooters that choose to shoot the Saturday/Sunday weekend match schedule will have the option to shoot SatAM/SunPM or SatPM/SunAM. Each shooter is eligible to purchase (1) competition ticket and can compete in only (1) division. Divisions are Retro Battle Rifle, Retro Carbine, and Retro Sub Gun, each division having a secondary classification for Retro-Mod. Rifles that have non-factory muzzle devices, barrel profile, sights, handguards, and/or stocks & grips will only qualify for the Retro-Mod classification. If you want to fly in the Retro Division, keep your rifle barebones stock.
What time does the early match start on Friday? Saturday and Sunday?The Friday schedule is an ALL DAY format, beginning at 8:00AM. The shooting scheduled for Saturday and Sunday is AM/PM. AM squads begin the match at 8:00AM, PM squads begin the match at 1:00PM. Gates will open at 7:00AM all 3 days for Match Competitors to arrive and prepare for the match to begin on time.
What is the round count? Any ammo restrictions?Estimated round count for the match is 350 rounds, however we recommend budgeting for more ammo depending on your skill level. Steel core is not allowed, (ex. 7n6, chicom import, etc.) as it poses a hazard to other shooters and potential damage to targets. Bi-metal, steel cased is acceptable (ex. Tulammo, Wolf, Monarch, Bear, Barnaul, Red Army Standard, Golden Tiger, Yugo M67, and similar).
Where do I go to learn more about the match preparation, squadding, and scoring?In the weeks leading up to the event, shooters will receive communication from Practiscore inviting them to select their shooting division & squad. There will be a window of opportunity for all shooters to complete these steps. All communication regarding the Lethal Weapons Match, including division, squads, and scoring are available through the Practiscore dashboard. The match director may also send out match updates or general communications thru the Practiscore dashboard. We estimate match participants will begin to receive their invitations from Practiscore by the end of January.
When is the deadline to select my squad and division in Practiscore?The deadline to make changes to your division and select a shooting squad is Friday 3/3. After that date, any pending shooters will be assigned a squad from the remaining open positions.
