Numerous local clubs in Ohio offer Highpower matches, with some hosting Full course matches out to 600 yds and many smaller clubs offering reduced target matches out 300 yds. The ORPA hosts several matches during the year at Camp Perry which draw competitors from our neighbor states as well military teams who attend for the opportunity to practice at Camp Perry. The ORPA annually holds a highpower regional as well as one or two EIC matches.
