Williamsport 2026 Match Schedule, Season Updates, and World Open

[BB1000Yard]

We are gearing up for the 2026 season here at Original PA 1000 Yard Benchrest Club! Lots of new things this year - we are adding a Tactical class, more fun shoots, and a new one for the end of the season, "The Eliminator." Shooting school is coming back! If you know anyone that is interested, have them email info@pa1000yard.com.

Save the date for the World Open, July 10-12th this year. There are 3 classes (Tactical, Light Gun, Heavy Gun) along with vendor demos Friday and dinner Saturday night. More details will be coming soon.

I've attached the newsletter with all of the 2026 forms (Membership, camper, match schedule). Click the blue link below.

I love Willamsport 1000yd But why did you guys stop the equipment list, I guess I just got use to looking over it and kinda miss it... no big deal it's cool I hope someone shoots a .750 record group and never gets broke..I miss going up there it was fun

Morning! The equipment list is still there. If you click on the person’s name it will show you their Light Gun and Heavy Gun equipment. But…each person needs to put their equipment in - if it is blank, they did not update their list yet.

Liking my post doesn't answer my question. Just trying to find out if there will be any Freedom Matches at Williamsport this year.

Hi! Sorry for the delayed response. I’m waiting for more information so I can answer your question. As of right now, there have been discussions but there is not a schedule yet.

Not enough Sat. in the year.
