Camp Perry's NRA Smallbore leg temporarily moving from Ohio to Indiana

Fairfax, Virginia - If you've been hearing mumblings about changes to the NRA National Smallbore Rifle Championships, both Position and Prone, look no further. We're here to set the record straight. The championships are being moved from Camp Perry, Ohio to Bristol, Indiana for 2014 and 2015 - but why?

The move is necessary to support the World Palma Rifle Championships scheduled at Camp Perry in the summer of 2015. Why 2014 also? Next year will be used as a “dress rehearsal” for the event. Although there will no doubt be a little commotion, the Palma Championships come around once every 25 years, so it will be a while before Camp Perry's regular schedule gets disrupted again.

How important is it? Important enough that NRA employees have been making contributions since day one.

"I believe in this program and write a check to the endowment every year," said NRA Competitive Shooting Director Dennis Willing. "And I started doing that before I started working here."
