Being from gun adverse New York, it is a joy to make the trip to Camp Perry for the monthly matches. The staff is kind to newcomers and the range officers are knowledgeable and fair. We were so happy to be able to get back on the range in September after a six month hiatus. Looking forward to October, November and the Gary Anderson.
Thank you for your feedback! We look forward to seeing you soon!

Love the CMP and have done business with you for years. They offer a great service to all Americans. I did notice in the Facebook pages they often have pictures of competitive shoots and people on the firing line. I noticed that many of the adults and young people DO NOT HAVE EYE PROTECTION. Safety glasses and ear plugs or ear muffs are a must and we don’t need the corrupt left media pointing out mistakes.
Thanks for your great organization and training of young and old adults to the world of firearms!
Our latest Competition Rules enforces eye & hearing protection. Many times we use older photos but will keep this in mind.
Thank you for your support!
