Matches and Events 

Black Bear Shooting Complex hosts shooting matches and events year-round near at our facility just outside of Appomattox, Virginia. We're also proud to be the founding club behind the Major Land Sniper Cup, one of the region's most prestigious long-range shooting competitions. Held every fall, it consistently sells out fast, so early registration is worth it. We use PractiScore to manage sign-ups and keep match day running smoothly.

BBSC Hosted Events

BBSC will host matches and events that we originate, but also those we put on with partner groups and organizers.  All events hosted by BBSC will be on our PractiScore Club calendar which makes sign up and event management run  smoothly. ​​

Major Land Sniper Cup

The Major Land Sniper Cup (MLSC) began in 2022 and has quickly become a must-attend event for Sniper Teams around the country. Teams of two descend on BBSC each October to Learn, Compete, and Connect.  This prestigious annual shooting competition is built to the standards of Major Jim Land, founder of the USMC Scout Sniper Program.
