The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) invites you to participate in the fifth annual Camp Perry Open. This year’s match will
include a three-position air rifle competition, an international air rifle (all standing) event, a pistol course of fire, and an optional clinic held at the CMP Marksmanship Center – North at Camp Perry, Ohio. The matches will be held 14 -16 January 2011.

COMPETITION EVENTS.

3x20 Junior Air Rifle – This event is governed by the National Standard Three-Position Air Rifle Rules, and participants must be juniors who are eligible in accordance with Rule 3.1. The match will include a 3x20 on Friday 14 January 2011, with relays at 2:00pm and 5:00pm. In previous years, there was a 3x20 relay on Saturday morning. This year, the match will only be offered on Friday afternoon. This was a necessary change to fit everything into the schedule on Saturday. Finals for the top eight in both sporter and precision will be held at 7:30pm on Friday. Shoot-offs will be held if necessary to determine positions in the final, per Rule 8.6.3. The three position competition is limited to 150 competitors. EIC award points will be awarded at this competition. More information about the EIC program can be found here: http://odcmp.com/3P/EIC_program10.pdf. This is both an individual and team event in the sporter and precision classes. Participants must have completed safety and basic marksmanship training to include some work in each of the three positions.

Junior Clinic – On Saturday 15 January 2011, there will be a clinic for interested school-aged junior shooters. The clinic will run from 2:30 – 5:30 PM. Those wishing to attend should pre-register. There is a limit of 50 junior shooters for this clinic. There will be on-the-line training provided by the members of the U. S. National/Development Team, as well as from the Army Marksmanship Team. Shooters will be randomly assigned to work with instructors. The culmination of this event will be a 20 shot standing competition. This was a very popular event in 2010, so register early if you are interested!

Men’s and Women’s Air Rifle – The air rifle event is open to both men and women of all ages. It is a two day event where competitors will fire 60 standing shots in accordance with USA Shooting rules. A final will be held each day for the top eight open and junior categories. The finals will be held concurrently, so if a junior qualifies in both finals, they will be squadded with open final shooters. A shoot-off will be held if necessary. This is a precision rifle event. There is a limit of 110 shooters for this competition. Scores will be sent into USA Shooting.

Men’s and Women’s Air Pistol – The air pistol event is open to both men and women of all ages. It is a two day event where competitors will fire 60 shots in accordance with USA Shooting rules. A final will be held each day for the top eight open and junior categories. The finals will be held concurrently, so if a junior qualifies in both finals, they will be squadded with open final shooters. A shoot-off will be held if necessary. There is a limit of 30 shooters for this competition.

Note: Please only register in the air rifle or air pistol match. Due to the popularity of these events, we can only accommodate one discipline per competitor.

Super Final – There will be a super final at the conclusion of finals on Sunday.



Additional Note:
The U. S. National Team coaches, Maj. David Johnson and Sergey Luzov, are planning on sending some of the National Team members/ National Development Team members come to this competition and shoot in the International course of fire. The Army Marksmanship Unit (USAMU) is also sending some of their best to shoot in the International standing course of fire event as well. There will also be members of current NCAA rifle teams in attendance. This is a great opportunity to see some of the best shooters in the US compete!

The CBI is a length of string trimmer line that is inserted through the bore, with ends protruding from the muzzle and the chamber. CBI’s provide visual confirmation that the air gun is unloaded. CBI’s must be inserted after rifles are uncased and when not firing or in preparation period. CBI’s will be available on the range for those that do not have them.

Prone mats - Shooters in the 3x20 event must use the provided prone mats.
