The CMP 2026 National Matches will take place at Camp Perry from July 12 through August 8, 2026, with the First Shot Ceremony on Monday, July 13, 2026. Camp Perry is a National Guard facility located on the shore of Lake Erie in northern Ohio near Port Clinton. The shooting ranges have been modernized in recent years, with the installation of advanced electronic targets for many disciplines. SEE Full Camp Perry NM Calendar.
The National Matches will begin with Smallbore (rimfire) and Air Rifle events, followed by Air Pistol. The National Smallbore rifle series will utilize electronic targets, and the CMP Highpower Rifle Championships will now also be fired on electronic targets, with three 80-shot matches, followed by a 4-Man team event.
The National Matches are open to the public and have offered a wide range of events and matches since 1907. These matches are conducted by a partnership of the CMP and Ohio National Guard. Since their inception, the National Matches have become a huge, national shooting sports festival with well over 4,500 annual participants. The 2026 National Matches include the events listed below.
