CAMP PERRY, Ohio – CMP (Civilian Marksmanship Program) Targets at Petrarca Range, a public gun range, has announced a set schedule for Open Shooting through 2017. During the designated Open slots, visitors are welcome to fire highpower and smallbore rifles as well as pistols on the innovative CMP electronic targets, powered by the Kongsberg Target Systems (KTS) of Norway.
The range will be open every Monday from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., beginning March 20, until daylight savings time in November when the time will change to 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and will remain open until Dec. 4, 2017, when it will close for the season.
Petrarca will also remain open almost daily during the duration of the National Matches at Camp Perry. A more specific schedule will be released around Match time.
The range will be CLOSED the following days within the year:

Going to the range has never been easier! With the use of electronic targets, marksmen no longer need to walk downrange to change paper or use a scope to score – simply approach the firing line and watch shots instantly score and appear on monitors located at each firing point.
Guests must provide his/her own ammo and equipment. A small fee of $10/hour (or $25 for 3 hours) is all it costs to fire on the CMP’s own electronic targets.
Come and take a few shots for yourself! We look forward to seeing you all year long!
