A few notes for competitors on general event details and regulations. All Juniors (17 and under) must be accompanied by an adult (21 and over). In addition, effective immediately, “it is the policy of the National Matches not to award firearms to junior competitors that are not of legal age to receive the firearm directly from the FFL holder. Firearms will also no longer be awarded to junior teams where the Team Captain is not of legal age to accept the firearm directly from the FFL holder.”
For our foreign friends, a W-8 will need to be completed upon arrival. Foreign competitors will be taxed 30 percent of awards to be paid at the event, regardless of the amount won. Trophies and plaques are obviously exempt from this clause.
All competitors must pick up a packet for their particular discipline. Dates to pick up said packets are as follows:
- Thursday, July 5: NRA High Power 9:00 a.m.
- Wednesday, July 11: One Mile Shot 9:00 a.m.
- Thursday, July 12: NRA Long Range 1:00 p.m.
- Tuesday, July 17: NRA Mid-Range 9:00 a.m.
Without exception, an ID badge for each team member must be provided before packets will be issued.
As far as lodging is concerned, on site rooms and cabins will be available to all competitors (18 and over). To book a room, or for any questions surrounding lodging, please call (812) 526-1128. Should the onsite options not suffice, there are also a number of hotels nearby, to include Charwood Suites and Johnson County Park (a campground), offering 18-night stays for high power competitors only.
Onsite meals can be obtained for breakfast, lunch and dinner at the House All Ranks Club, Subway, Dave’s Hot Dogs, and DFAC.
