CAMP PERRY, OH - Junior upsets, power performances from female shooters and an overwhelmingly loud final resonated through Camp Perry during the ninth annual Camp Perry Open, held January 16-18 at the Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center.

Super Heroes, Minions Take the Line at 2015 Camp Perry Open Super Finals

    

  

CAMP PERRY, OH - At first glance, it seemed like any other final - with the top competitors vying to be the last standing on the firing line. But once it commenced, blaring music, dancing crowd members and the appearance of Spiderman quickly showed it was anything but any other final. At the 2015 Camp Perry Open, the Top 18 male and female rifle competitors and the Top 18 overall pistol competitors were distinguished from the day's scores on January 17 and chosen as the lucky few who would fire in the long-awaited Super Finals - the most popular finals event of the year.

The True Reward For Shooting Well Is Satisfaction, Medals Are The Cherries  

    

As a civilian shooter competing at Camp Perry for the first time in 1983, it was magical. Standing on hallowed ground competing at Camp Perry is an honor, humbling, and it's very inspirational for a shooter to strive to shoot above their personal best. At my "debut" that year, I won first place in the Center Fire Timed Fire match with my score of 199-7X, shooting 45 ACP with open iron sights in the Civilian Expert class - earning me a NRA national championships gold medal, to my surprise and great delight. I had also placed three more times in the top 22 award placing that year. Winning the NRA gold medal in Timed Fire was a huge inspiration for me to continue to shoot well. And the irony is, when I arrived at Camp Perry that year, I remember thinking to myself, "This is my first time at Camp Perry, so, no winning for me. I'll just relax . . . do my best . . . enjoy competing . . . and have fun." With this mindset, I think it helped contribute to why I did well for someone new to Camp Perry.
