The 2021 NRA National Championships for Smallbore Rifle, Precision Pistol and High Power Rifle will be fired on the first-class ranges of the Indiana National Guard at Camp Atterbury, Ind., beginning on Jul. 6 and concluding Aug. 28. Online registration will open at 9:00 a.m. EST on Thursday, Apr. 8.

Last year, Smallbore and Precision Pistol were set to join High Power Rifle at Camp Atterbury, re-uniting the NRA National Championships at a single venue, but this was delayed due to Covid-19. The NRA High Power Rifle Nationals have been held at Camp Atterbury since 2017.

As mentioned, registration for the 2021 NRA National Championships will begin Thursday, Apr. 8 via the Competitive Shooting Web Portal. If you haven’t set up your profile there already, please do so at competitor.nra.org/Register.aspx.

Below is the 2021 NRA National Championships match calendar.

Something to note: The NRA reserves the right to, at any time, change the status of regional, sectional, and national matches pursuant to federal, state, and local regulations due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
