Highpower Rifle

The pinnacle of rifle competition, High Power embodies the traditional marksmanship disciplines that have existed at the state, national, and international level since the late 1800s. The heart of High Power competition is Across-the-Course with a Service Rifle, where shooters compete from different positions at various yard lines to earn prestigious awards such as the Distinguished Rifleman’s Badge and President’s 100 Tab, both recognized by Congress and the U.S. Military. Other disciplines such as Mid Range and Long Range allow shooters to compete in prone-only matches, where the shooter’s ability at extreme accuracy and wind-reading is tested further. With Ohio being the host of the annual National Matches every summer at Camp Perry, ORPA High Power aims to facilitate Ohio shooters with fun yet challenging matches that prepare them for the Nationals, and to field the best team of shooters Ohio has to offer for the National Trophy Team Match.
