In October of 2018 J. Drayton hosted the final Sheep Creek Invitational, an original and successful run of promoting the competitive precision shooting sports in Alaska. His focus had shifted to service-based matches, which we know now as the widely acclaimed Arctic Guardian . In 2019 J. Furrer picked up the civilian torch and began hosting PRS style matches at USSA in Talkeetna. After months of solo labor, he found it wasn’t sustainable to accomplish the tasks of hosting alone, and LRSA was born. Not only were volunteers eager help, but by the finale match of the 2019 season, a small group of the regular shooters were recruited to help plan the future of PRS in Alaska. Over the following winter, plans were made and through collaboration and plenty of crazy ideas, the matches and the shooters grew better together.

J. Furrer loyally ran the club with help from regular shooters for several years after which he relocated to the lower 48. LRSA was sad to see him move, yet grateful for the foundation he built and eager for the future. In 2023, K. Garcia took the wheel and is keeping PRS matches in Alaska alive and relevant through leadership of a committed board of directors, frequent match directing, and travel outside to gather new ideas and maintain national congruency. Under the current leadership and with the help of faithful volunteers, LRSA has grown rapidly - acquiring non-profit status to ensure the lowest prices and maximize opportunity for its shooters. LRSA has attracted a crew of endlessly creative match dire
