CAMP PERRY, Ohio – The Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) annual Camp Perry Open will be moving back to its original winter timeslot in 2025 – set to offer air rifle and air pistol competition Jan. 17-19 at the Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center. Registration is now open, and capacity is limited, so sign up early for this exciting and challenging event!
The 2025 Camp Perry Open includes a junior 3×20 air rifle match and 60 Shot air rifle and air pistol competitions for adults and juniors, with adaptive athletes also welcomed and encouraged to attend. Additionally, an air gun clinic will provide an educational opportunity for participants – only $5 to attend! All air gun events will be held within CMP’s Gary Anderson Competition Center electronic target indoor air gun range.
In recent years, the Camp Perry Open was moved to May to allow a coinciding smallbore rifle match. However, no smallbore will be offered at the Camp Perry Open in 2025.
Though no more smallbore, the celebrated Super Final will be returning and will certainly bring entertainment to the Camp Perry Open! During the Super Final, top competitors from each of the day’s air rifle and air pistol qualification round meet on the firing line to compete in an intense elimination event. Featuring costumes, music and other attention-grabbing effects, focus is key in this final and is a fun test for even the most seasoned competitor – and it’s fun for spectators in the range, too!
