Default Pistol Matches Shot at Camp Perry

We are all pretty familliar with the National Match Course, 3 Gun, or "2700" round shot at the National Matches at Camp Perry and other places. Does anyone have information about the matches shot before this one at Camp Perry. I get the feeling that they were all slow fire judging from the Colt Camp Perry Model, H&R USRA Model, and the S&W Single shots. If any one could point me to a book. website or on line article I would be grateful.

I'm sorry if this was the wrong forum, but it was the only one that seemed to fit.

Are the American Riflemen available on line or on CD?

Prior to the 2700 they shoot a 900, this is the preliminary. This consists of 3 30 round national match courses. One for 22 rimfire, one for center fire (32 cal and up) and one for 45.

Now prior to this they shoot a distinguised revolver match, a national match course. Finally prior to this they shoot The Harry Revees Match, also a national match course.

BTW a national match course consists of 30 rounds. One slow fire, one timed fire and one rapid fire targes.

NRA web site will have a lot of info under competitive shooting.

The 2700 has been shot at Camp Perry for over 100 years.



HTH,

Fred
