CMP Warms Up Camp Perry Ranges with Rifle Matches in June

July 14, 2022

Civilian Marksmanship Program▸The First Shot▸CMP Warms Up Camp Perry Ranges with Rifle Matches in June

CAMP PERRY, Ohio – On the weekend of June 25-26, the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP), with the help of the Ohio Rifle and Pistol Association (ORPA), hosted a series of vintage and service rifle events on the grounds of Camp Perry – testing out the historic ranges before the annual National Matches are held in the same location in July.

Competitors in each match fired upon CMP’s own lineup of outdoor electronic targets.

Matches fired during the series included 800 Aggregate and Excellence-In-Competition (EIC) service rifle and match rifle events on Viale Range, as well as a Garand, Springfield, Vintage and Modern Military (GSMM) rifle match on Petrarca Range – both located on Camp Perry. Each competition utilized CMP’s outdoor electronic targets for the convenience of competitors on the firing line.

Over 25 competitors fired at Petrarca Range on June 25, with Garand and Modern Military rifles. Earning the overall win in the Petrarca Garand Match was Jayce Kussmaul, 31, of Clinton, Michigan, with a score of 274-3X, as Andy Welter, 58, of Westerville, Ohio, claimed the win in the Modern Military Match with a score of 268-4X.

Out of the over 105 competitors in the ORPA 800 Aggregate, Steven Paci, 61, of Greer, South Carolina, fired the overall Service Rifle score of 786-18X. Randall Olds, 39, of Thornville, Ohio, followed with 784-21X, as Roy Mitchell, 51, of Parma, Ohio, trailed with 783-27X. In Match Rifle, Fritz Hempelmann, 62, of Wheeling, West Virginia, earned the leading score of 791-36X. Trailing Hempelmann was Terrence Paul, 70, of Cleveland, Ohio, who claimed a score of 789-30X, as Joe Hendricks, 26, of Wadsworth, Ohio, fired a score of 786-25X.

Nabbing the top score in the EIC Service Rifle Match (also known as the Ohio Governor’s Match) was Nick Till, 48, of Howell, Michigan, with a score of 496-19X. Following closely in second was Hendricks, with a score of 493-18X, while Nathan Russell, 40, of Emlenton, Pennsylvania, rounded out the top three with a score of 489-10X. Over 60 competitors fired in the Governor’s Match.
