No doubt people on here know all about Camp Perry, however the above link is interesting reading and the page itself has some interesting links as well.

I have been trying to find some information about the long distance shooting competition that normally takes place there but I cannot seem to find any 2011 information?

Found it!

I am fairly sure it was an American female soldier who won it last year?
I read about it somewhere online, lost the link of course.

Christel,
The girl us Sheri Gallagher, last meember of the Tompking-Gallagher family. All great shooters and instructors and very nice people. Meeting Nancy, Michelle and Sheri's mother is a great moment.

Sheri won the XTC Championships, and John whidden won the National Fullbore for his third tme.

Camp Perry is a base f the Ohio National Gurad and NRA National Matches are held there every year. All disciplines, smallbore, pistol, XTC, fullbore and Palma. This last about a month...

Woderful place, camp and ranges, on the shores of lake Erie, not far from Toledo, OH.

Worth a visit in July-August during the Nationals, a long visit to Commercial Row being 'de rigueur"...

On Nancy;

Have a look:

R.G.C,

Thank you! You have excelled again

That is exactly her.
I googled her name and found the article I read last year about her, I did save it in my bookmarks back then but have since reformatted my hard drive so lost it.

Anyway, I found the article really good, not just because it is about her but also how the journalist writes about the shooting world.

Alan,
They will be more than happy to 'invite" you!!/

Christel,
She has been recently elected 'soldier of te year'.

Great article and a fantastic read. This quote was a little depressing;

"I've never met a successful long-range shooter who wasn't very intelligent in either a very analytical way or an OCD-savant kind of way," said Praslick

That's me out of the running then! :lol:

"I've never met a successful long-range shooter who wasn't very intelligent in either a very analytical way or an OCD-savant kind of way," said Praslick

Emil shot on my Ages match team a few years back. He flew over for a long weekend, borrowed a rifle, and held his own against some of the best the UK has to offer; a very impressive performance (and doubtless he took some useful intelligence on how British teams are run back to the US Palma team).

Good luck with that.
Visiting Camp Perry one day is on my to do list as well, now I just need to convince Ovenpaa to come with me:)
