Camp Perry Training Site

Camp Perry in Port Clinton, Ohio isn't just any shooting range—it's been the home of the National Rifle & Pistol Matches since 1907. The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) operates several outdoor and indoor ranges on the property, leased from the Ohio National Guard.

Outdoor Ranges - Rodriguez Range (600 yards) and Viale Range (1,000 yards): Historic firing lines that have hosted thousands of competitors through the National Matches. CMP uses electronic targets here for various rifle events. - Petrarca Range: Covered firing line with CMP electronic targets. Open to the public weekly from early spring through mid-November for both rifle and pistol use.

Indoor Facility - Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center: 80-point electronic target line for air rifle and air pistol. Open year-round for weekly public access and hosts local, state, and national-level air gun events.

Competitors fire on Kongsberg Electronic Targets (KTS)—each shot is registered and displays score value on a monitor beside the shooter. This system is used for major matches including the annual National Matches each summer.

Upcoming matches include the Garand/Springfield/Vintage/Modern Military Match, Highpower Warm-Up Matches, and the National Matches (typically mid-July through early August).

• •What They're About: CMP's mission is promoting excellence in marksmanship, firearms safety, and youth programs through historic American firearm restoration and sales. Every event from youth clinics to adult competitions ties back to quality instruction and fair competition.
