Military bolt-action rifle match

Event Date:

OKC Gun Club in Arcadia hosts a friendly Military Bolt Action match on the first Saturday of each month, which falls on March 7, 2026. This match is geared toward unmodified, as-issued military bolt-action rifles and is designed to be low-key and fun, with plenty of camaraderie on the line. If you have a classic service rifle that fits the rules, it is a great chance to bring it out, compare notes with other shooters, and enjoy a relaxed morning of marksmanship.

About Arcadia, OK

Discover what makes Arcadia such a great place to live and explore.

Arcadia, Oklahoma is a small community along historic Route 66 with an easygoing, country-leaning feel just east of Edmond and within reach of Oklahoma City. People are drawn to the open skies, scenic drives, and familiar local landmarks like the Arcadia Round Barn and the nearby roadside stops that make an evening outing feel simple. Daily life often includes bright days with breezy changes and cool starts that give morning coffee on the porch a little extra appeal.

For commuters, quick access to I-35 and nearby surface routes helps keep trips to Edmond, OKC, and surrounding job centers straightforward. Outdoor time is a big part of the lifestyle, with Lake Arcadia and its trails, paddling, and picnic areas close by for after-work breaks and weekend plans. Living options tend to lean toward single-family homes, some on larger lots, with a mix of newer builds and rural properties, while rentals exist but can feel more limited and spread out.
