Veteran Shooters Share Knowledge with Young Shooters and
Have Fun at Super Final Match at Camp Perry Open
 Mid-season airgun
matches like the Camp Perry Open which was fired at the CMP
North Marksmanship Center 14-16, January, is a practice
match for some, a first-time event for others and the
biggest match ever for a few more. That mixture of
circumstances and emotions are what makes events like the
CPO so appealing.

CMP Affiliated clubs now have
several sanctioned matches to choose from
Many clubs were having almost mini-style Eastern/Western Games matches and Competition Tracker at the time did not have a way to list the same individual firing different rifles or re-entry scores without creating separate matches or even multiple events in one match. The good news is Competition Tracker is now set up to show a 3-Gun Aggregate (Garand, Springfield, Vintage Military or G-S-M) for club level matches. Additionally, we are also set up to show re-entry scores for club level matches. Any competitor in a club sanctioned match may fire any three rifles and the same rifle twice in the same match simply by re-entering.
