CMP Targets at Petrarca Range

Civilian Marksmanship ProgramRangesCMP Targets at Petrarca Range

Petrarca Range is now closed for the season. We’ll see you March 17, 2025.

CMP Targets at Petrarca Range, located at Camp Perry in Port Clinton, Ohio, features innovative electronic targets enhanced by Kongsberg Target System (KTS) technology.

Our covered range includes two cardboard pistol targets that can be set up at either 50 ft. or 25 yards (weather permitting). The 10 electronic rifle targets are set up at 100 yards. For those interested in short-range zeroing, our electronic scoring system can add difficulty by accurately simulating 200, 300 and 600 yards. Benches are available for sighting in your rifles.

We allow ammo no larger than .30-06 to be fired and no 300 Win Mag ammo or armor piercing ammo. Visitors must bring their own firearms and ammo.

For questions, please contact Mike Conrad at mconrad@thecmp.org or call (419) 635-2141 ext. 753.

Fees

A small fee of $10 per hour ($25 for 3 hours) will be required to fire upon some of the most advanced marksmanship technology available today.

About KTS Electronic Targets

KTS Electronic Targets work through the power of acoustics – “hearing” the shot and accurately determining its location. With extensive use by ranges in 30 nations for over 20 years by Kongsberg Target Systems and even more experience received in-house by the CMP, the accuracy of these electronic targets is unlike anything else in the United States. The CMP is proud to share with its loyal customers and competitors these targets that are certain to be known as the way of the future.

The targets work through the power of acoustics – “hearing” the shot and accurately determining its location. Each is able to simulate a fluctuating span of distances to allow a variety of matches to be fired upon them.
