  1. The NRA has not been exactly secretive about wanting to move the National Matches out of Camp Perry, OH. The Smallbore National Championship Haas been at Bristol, IN in recent years. The Highpower Rifle portion is probably the big event, and the location, if not the match's future, has been in question. The National Matches were first held in 1903 at Sea Girt, NJ. They moved to Camp Perry in 1907 and stayed there until the present. It looks like 2016 may be the last year at Perry for Highpower. At least, for a while. I got the following email email this evening from the Central Indiana HighPower Rifle Shooters (CIHPRS) of which I'm a member. They run the Highpower and Long Range Matches at Camp Atterbury, near Edinburgh, IN. There is some VERY BIG news taking place at Camp Atterbury starting with the 2017 shooting season. The NRA this weekend has decided to move the National Championship Highpower matches from Camp Perry to Camp Atterbury. The CMP matches will stay at Camp Perry. https://www.ssusa.org/articles/2016/11/16/nra-moving-national-high-power-rifle-championships-from-camp-perry/ This is a very big change for the United States shooting community, but it is a change for the better. I will say from a match director standpoint Camp Atterbury is much easier to deal with than Camp Perry and the fact that we have 4 KD ranges that can all be operable at the same time the format of the National Matches for 2017 will be very much improved and will allow for more possibilities. I wanted to email all of you who are club members and who are non-members but attend or have attended our matches to let you know how this change affects CIHRPS. CIHPRS will not be running or in charge of the National Championship matches. We have worked with the NRA in doing some leg work in helping them bring the matches to Camp Atterbury but the NRA will run these matches. Because of the change they will be looking for people to fill positions but they are not expecting CIHPRS to fill or provide workers. Camp Atterbury Command is VERY ENTHUSIASTIC about these matches coming and they are offering all services available for this. I personally had a discussion with Lt. Col. Gardner shortly after the conclusion of the matches at Camp Perry about this move. I can tell you he was very aware of what the National Matches are, their significance, and wants to bring them to Camp Atterbury and to Central Indiana. The NRA has been to the ranges and all the necessary repairs will be done so the ranges are in a condition to host a National Championship. In our conversation this was one thing that the Lt. Col. stressed that would be done. From a club standpoint there will be some positive impact of these matches now being at Camp Atterbury. The ranges will be improved, permanent flag mounting points will be installed, number boards repaired, etc. Also since we host monthly club matches at Camp Atterbury our match attendance will probably increase due to people wanting to get some range time on the range where the National Matches will be shot. There are other improvements that have been talked about also. Current match cap is at 42 shooters and this brings us to the next change that will happen eventually. So with this possibly happening it is very important that you get registered ahead of time for matches online. As far as impacting our schedule the only scheduled match it will impact is the Mid-Range regional as that was scheduled for the weekend of July 8-9 as that is the opening weekend of the NRA Across the Course championship. We will be moving this match and adjusting our schedule. Other than this the 2017 and 2018 dates that were submitted last May are still good and will mirror the 2016 schedule with a couple minor changes. If you have any questions please let me know.
