Camp Perry

[Dave C.]

Anyone making plans to attend Camp Perry this summer?

[Dave C.]

I guess the traffic will be light.

I missed the National Matches the past couple years but hope to get there again this year. Will shoot most of the week.

Hoping to get to shoot the Vintiage Rifle Match or at least the Garand Match. Time will tell.
Got-R-Did.

I may, went last two years, Depends if I leg out before hand (need 4 pts). Last year I finished 4th in the springfield match, missed the 100 by 3-4 pts, and did pretty well in Hearst Doubles with a pick up guy from the Navy Team.
I love the games matches btw, best thing the cmp ever did.

[Triggernosis]

I'll be there.....and, like akajun, hopefully to get my D.R. Badge pinned on me. I was hoping to sweet-talk Sheri Gallagher into pinning it on me, but she may be tied up with the Golden Knights this year.

Does anyone have experience working at the matches ? I've thought of signing up for a week, since I live just a couple of hours south.

Thanks, WILCO.

I've always wanted to go, but don't want to make the trip by myself. Anyone from Michigan plan on going?

[Fretboard]

Attended the EIC school, Shot the Presidents, National Trophy, Vintage Springfield, Fun but makes for long days.

I was up there and went through venders row.My pal and his son got a couple SAI M1A receivers (cosmetic seconds) for $250. and with the purchase of a barrel SA assembled the barreled action at no cost. They both ended up with the 18" barreled setup for around $900. each.
I tried but cannot even get into prone position. I can do the fat boy sitting position. Mebbe next year.

Spend about a week reading all about it. The National Rifle Championships have been held here forever.

I finally went to my first NRA annual meeting this year, and, I found out they take volunteers to help run the matches at Camp Perry. I am contemplating trying to make the trip next year. What a shame to have missed it all this time.

[Win94ae]

I live about 100 miles from Camp Perry, I've always wanted to shoot my US Model of 1917 in a match... I've never been to a public range, could be an eye opening experience.

I confirmed the week off unless something else comes up ( it has the last 2 years) so I plan to make the 2014 trip.

@Crusader Militia: it is the Mecca of pistol and rifle shooters. 2014 will see the small bore folks competing in Indiana rather than at Camp Perry. Google Camp Perry to see the history of the national matches, it is pretty amazing stuff.

@FredBuddy: volunteers are definitely the grease that makes the National Matches run. The housing and meals are on site and there is a tax break. The good news: you meet folks from all over the world and from many generations of shooting enthusiasts. The bad news: you pay up front for the deduction later. Hope to see you there.

@HistoricFirearms: I have shot next to folks from MI, and shares a hut with folks form TN, WA and MO. Check with your state association since they may sponsor teams at the national matches and have contacts for you.

See all y'all at Camp Perry.

I went both weeks CMP, NRA and long range for almost 25 years as a competitor. I made High master both accross the coarse and long range just before the MS took me out. Now even walking comercial row is and visiting is a big chore for me.

I will be heading to Camp Perry during the Games this year. I hope to shoot in the Vintage match. I've been there for Modern Sporting Rifle Clinics held by CMP and Ohio Rifle and Pistol Association. I will be heading up for the Pistol Pop Up Shoot sponsored by ORPA and FoCP (Friends of Camp Perry) Saturday, April 19th, 2014. Fun stuff!
