The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) will host a Long Range Rifle Match, June 29-30, 2024, at Camp Perry in Ohio. Rifle categories offered during the event include Match (Any and Iron Sights), Service, Palma, AR Tactical, F-Open and F T/R. The event is open to any adult or junior with a Long Range rifle, regardless of experience.

“We’re trying to add Long Range opportunities to as many events as possible, with the hopes of growing our program and bringing new competitors and Long Range interest to the CMP,” said Sara Rozanski, CMP highpower rifle coordinator.

For the first time, the 1,000-yard event will be fired on CMP’s line of outdoor electronic targets. The targets include monitors at each firing point that instantly display accurate shot scores, creating a more leisurely experience for individuals on the firing line.

“We would like to start using our line of electronic targets for the annual National Long Range events at Camp Perry in the near future, and these smaller matches are a great way to slowly work out any issues we may encounter,” Rozanski added. “With the addition of electronic targets, we’re hoping to encourage more individuals to give Long Range a try.”
