Camp Perry...equipment list?

Post by coolcruiser »

Anybody have a list of "stuff" to bring to Camp Perry? I use a checklist for what to bring in shooting highpower. This is the first year for me to shoot smallbore and a good checklist is very helpful. TIA

Camp Perry smallbore ideas

Post by Dean Peterson »

Haps list is great!!

The 'pavilion", I think, is a shelter gizmo. Many types to choose from - the EZ UP type worked very well for us last year.

Remove the roof/cover when you pack up for the day - the frame won't catch the wind by itself, more likely the whole thing won't end up akimbo ten points down wind from where you first set it up.

Use screw in (dog leash tether type) anchors at each corner with ratchet hold down straps to keep the shelter on the ground. Keep tethers VERTICAL to avoid the scout tent guy wire approach - space is premium behind the line, avoid tripping hazards.

RIG rag - wipe down the rifle before you pack for home - especially if you are traveling some distance. You will cultivate rust if you don't open the case and let it air out as soon as you get home! Inside barrel too!!

Coat hangers - very handy for hanging coat and pants inside your shelter - keeps them off the damp grass. The frame of the shelter offers lots of creative opportunities to stash gear off the ground.

Shelter walls - some EZ UP models come with "walls" - they can be very handy in driving rain - and you can remove them when there is little breeze and lots of humid heat!


Water, water, water - stay hydrated, drink lots of water!!!

Under Armor (heat gear) really helps.

Frog Toggs Chilly Sport towel really works (a terry towel may be cheaper and nearly as effective).

Those evaporative neck wraps (same idea as the Frogg Toggs) are handy - bring two - keep one in a zip lock baggie in your ice chest - rotate prn.

A second poncho, a couple of heavy duty XXL garbage bags, and a handful of 2 gal zip lock baggies have many uses.

Keep your gear on the line to a minimum and all of your shelter gear organized for quick packing in the event..........

There is strength in numbers - if you can find two or three fellow shooters to share your shelter space with you will be much better off when the weather gets really bad - helps to have the group split across the relays so you're not all on or off the line at the same time!

Can't wait to get the opportunity to go again - perhaps 2013!!!


All the best.

Great lists! Just think. If you needed to go to camping trip, what would you need? After every year, you find more things to add to ur list. I find it best to write things down regarding special Camp Perry procedures like registration and claiming award points
