FAIRFAX, Va. – For the third time in more than 100 years, the NRA National Smallbore Rifle Championships will not be held at Camp Perry, OH. Instead, the 2014 championships will move three hours west to the Chief Wa-Ke-De Range in Bristol, IN.

The Chief Wa-Ke-De Range is the current home of the NRA National Metric Championships, which will combine with the Smallbore Rifle Championships for a 12-day competition from July 14 to July 25. Featuring a 100-point asphalt-covered firing line and plenty of protection from wind, the range is ideal for smallbore rifle competition.
