Monthly Virtual Matches

Each month Scopos organizes an ongoing series of Monthly Virtual Matches for both rifle and pistol disciplines. The intent is to give shooters a fun new way to participate, allowing them to compare their results with other shooters and teams from within their town, state, country or even across the planet.

Any Orion customer may participate, including Orion at Home users. Best of all, they are free! There is no entry fee or lengthy registration process. All scores shot by competitors can be added to their public Score History profile.

Most importantly, Orion's Monthly Virtual Matches are meant to be fun. Enjoy competing, and enjoy comparing your scores with scores from others anywhere in the world.

Starting November 2024 there will be changes to 2 courses of fire.

The 3x10 and 3x20 Air Rifle matches will now be scored in decimal.

The Smallbore Pistol NMC matches will now be a 900 Aggregate course of fire.

Special Instructions for the Monthly Virtual Matches

In general, after downloading the match, run it like any other Orion match. There are a few special instructions necessary to take advantage of state rankings and dynamic team generation.

  • Enter in the two letter state code (e.g. "VA" or "CA") for each competitor or team under the 'State' column. This is needed to correctly list the athlete or team by their state in the rankings.
  • Create only a single team per club. Assign all club members to that team. Orion will automatically create dynamic-teams based on individual performance.
  • Link athletes to their Scopos account, so their scores get added to their Score History.
