I'm about 45 minutes from there, I'm very interested in what goes on there. Is it open to the public?
ETA: found this, looks like a fun time. Youtube |

I shot both the rifle and pistol popups years ago. It's a lot of fun. I remember being presented with many more multiple targets on the pistol range than what's shown in the video though. |

Event flyer Nah, it's an individual event. Only one shooter per position per relay. You can bring a team, though. It's not really a competition and I'm not so sure the reactive targets score hits correctly anyway. But it's fun and a chance to use your pistol in a different than normal way. JUST FYI - for those who don't know - each relay presents 40 targets so you need to be able to shoot, at the least, 40 rounds relatively quickly. So, make sure you bring enough magazines for your chosen gun. That said, you can also shoot different guns in a single relay. Rumor has it there's a guy who shows up in a cowboy duster, lays a variety of black-powder revolvers on the table in front of him, and hits 40 targets in a row . |

I will so be there! Did this for the first time a few years ago with my EDC Glock 19 and scored 33 and then a 34. Was stoked for it last year then they got canceled. Very excited that it is back now!

He's one of the guys who works the range during the shoot. They get to shoot first as a park of working the shoot. He's a hell of a lot of fun to watch. Note that you can shoot more than 40 rounds. I usually send another shot at any that do not drop after the first. I'd be prepared to shoot an extra mag or so, just to be sure. |

this sounds pretty fun, and would be a great way to see camp perry, I'll have to see if I can get the time off. I'm about 3 hours away but really how often does an opportunity like this present itself

I do the President's 100 pistol match every year just to be a part of it. There's also the Small Arms Firing School; both rifle and pistol. Come on up, it's worth it. |

I haven't been to Camp Perry since it did the rifle SAFS a few years ago. It is super fun and you get to shoot an off the rack M16 (mine was FN built) with the auto selector blocked. The inherent accuracy of that weaspon sold me on the AR15 platform. I was smacking the ten ring every time from 300 years using surplus ammo.
I think I will make the trip for the pop ups this year. I have a couple of new HKs I would like to try out. |

My 11 year old daughter shot for the first time today.
(At an organized shoot) She got a 17, which isn't so bad, considering. She had quite the cheering section going on behind her by the time she got shooting, I hear I shot my second 40/40. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

But it was fun. Also checked out the addition on the air rifle range and got to watch some competition there for the first time. That is a NICE facility! |

I would have LOVED to check that out, but we had a soccer game to get to, so I'll have to check back some other time. I DID run into the CMP quickly and I'm sorry I did. They have racks and racks of M1Ds and M1Cs, none with scopes, and all priced accordingly. Not a single "regular" Garand to be seen. That kinda bummed me out. Can't wait for the ORPA shoots on Labor Day WE. |
