The 2025 NRA World Shooting Championship, presented by Walther Arms, will take place at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, from September 30 to October 4, 2025. Online registration for the 2025 NRA World Shooting Championship is open now via the NRA Competitor Portal at competitor.nra.org.
The NRA World Shooting Championship is the ultimate challenge for competitors in any shooting discipline. All firearms, optics and ammunition are provided to competitors at the NRA World Shooting Championship to provide a level playing field. There will be 12 stages of fire spanning several shooting sport disciplines at this year’s tournament.
Being held for the eight time, the NRA World Shooting Championship is the ultimate all-encompassing tournament which crowns the undisputed “World Shooting Champion” from professional and amateur competitive shooters. More than $250,000 in cash and prizes are available to the field of competitors, with $25,000 awarded to the World Shooting Champion and $1,000 for the winner of each stage of competition.
Last year, Brian Shanholtz topped the NRA World Shooting Championship leaderboard, triumphing over a talented field of 213 shooters.
The NRA, match sponsors and the state of Indiana are again showing their continued commitment to supporting competitive shooting and the Second Amendment.
“NRA’s proud history of organizing and executing premier shooting competitions will continue this fall as top shooters once again convene in Indiana for the NRA World Shooting Championship,” NRA General Operations Executive Director Josh Savani said. “Competitors of every background and skill level, whether a professional or amateur shooter, will be challenged through a variety of shooting disciplines with the goal of being declared the ‘World’s Greatest Shooter.’ NRA is excited to host this highly popular championship, and we are grateful for the support from Walther Arms and our industry partners.”
Competitors who are planning to shoot this year’s tournament are encouraged to secure their spot soon, as this match has filled up within moments in past years. Competitors must fully complete registration via the NRA Shooters Portal at competitor.nra.org.
NRA is grateful for the support from our title sponsor, Walther Arms. In addition to providing firearms for several match stages, Walther Arms will host a demo bay allowing competitors to experience a larger selection of the company’s product line and interact directly with their representatives.
“We’re proud to once again support the NRA World Shooting Championship—an event that brings together the very best from across the shooting sports,” Jens Krogh, vice president of marketing and product development at Walther Arms said. “This championship reflects the spirit of excellence and versatility that defines both the competitors and our brand. Supporting NRA 2.0 and events like this is part of our ongoing commitment to the future of the shooting community.”
Additional sponsorship opportunities are available. Interested individuals, groups or companies should contact Steve Kupcha, managing director of NRA Corporate Partnerships at [email protected].
