Anyone know if there will be airgun matches during the Nationals?

Here's the info about air gun matches, the CMP is running them:

Bring an air conditioner, small piece of carpet and bedding, including pillows, also a good reading light with extension cord---oh yes ---mosquito repellent and BTW lot's of money for murderer's row. "Doc"

If you are going for Pistol this is what I learned. rifle I know nothing about.

Things you need to know before going to Camp Perry.

If you are doing the SAFS best to get there Sunday night and get registered. It will save you grief and time Monday morning. You will have assigned firing points for all your matches including the SAFS. Keep your paperwork handy or record them in advance so you know where they are.
You will be on different relays almost every day. Keep track of that too.
You don't need a stapler at Camp Perry. You will have an individual target pre pasted onto cardboard for every ten shots. Make sure you pick up three slow fire targets and 6 timed and rapid fire targets for every 900 that you shoot. You need to pick these up and store them under your bench. The pistol targets don't move at Camp Perry, you do. Have your equipment organized so you don't lose things in the very quick shuffle to the short line. Bring rubber boots that go up to your knees. If you have them you are unlikely to need them but if you need them you will be sorry that you don't have them. (Don't ask me how I know this):-) It is sometimes easier to put your loaded magazines in your pocket and carry them there. There are easy to lose in your box as you make the transition from the long line to the short line. Keep your shot process and your equipment as simple as you can get away with. It is easy to get distracted by "stuff" and lose focus on your shooting. Have fun and see you there (if you are going for pistol) Isabel

I'm in luck - the knee boots are almost always in my car. Saw pictures from last year's storms. Should we take a boat to float our gear in?
