Camp Perry High Power Rifle Competition

NY Juniors competing at Camp Perry in the Whistler Boy match in 2004.

If you want to shoot at Camp Perry you have to be prepared for the rain....and also watch out for Sommer Wood and her camera!

The 2007 Season is upon us!

It's been a short/long winter. We did not get much snow here in New York, but while we had some unusually high temperatures for much of the winter we also had some record lows. There were attempts on Long Island to get winter high power matches in, and while a few were successful, it seemed like most fell on the few miserable weather periods we had. Tomorrow is March 25th and last night the report was that the folks on Peconic River's high power committee will be working hard today to try and clear the range of remaining ice and mud to make a match possible in the morning.

The most important upcoming events are the two NYSRPA SAFS, Small Arms Firing Schools. The first, April 21-22 will be at Camp Smith, and the second at the Peconic River Sportman's Club April 28-29. It is a special challenge this year that the events are on back-to-back weekends, but we expect both to be successful. There is still plenty of space available at both events, so sign up now and bring your friends! For info and application, visit www.nyhighpower.com.
