Camp Perry Abuzz with Excitement over Upcoming National Rifle & Pistol Championships
The NRA Blog reports that volunteers, NRA employees, and competitors are busy as bees as they prepare for the National Rifle & Pistol Championships at Camp Perry, Ohio.
Contestants in the National Rifle & Pistol Championship plan to bring heat with them to the competition, and for a while it looked like the sun was planning on doing the same thing. Temperatures in Camp Perry have been up in the 100s, leaving event organizers to sweat over the weather forecast. Luckily, the weather has cooled down significantly, and visitors to the shooting competition can expect numbers close to the 80s.
These shots of Camp Perry offer a rare glimpse of area, long before droves of gun enthusiasts crowd into the stadiums to witness some ace shooting. Enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts, because these campgrounds will be filled with gun fans for the next several weeks.
The National Pistol Matches officially kicks off today with the First-Shot Ceremony, starting a month-long competition that will run almost continuously until August 15. The first half of the competition, which focuses entirely on pistols, will begin tomorrow with the NRA Pistol Matches and last for five days. After that, the riflemen will step up to the ready line. You can find a full list of the scheduled events here.
