Big Money Up for Grabs at NRA World Shooting Championship
Show Me the Money, Baby! The biggest money match of the year, NRA World Shooting Championship (WSC), runs September 20-22 at the Peacemaker National Training Center in Glengary, WV. This event offers over $250,000 in cash awards and product prizes, making the WSC the richest combined shooting event in the USA (if not the world).
This unique 3-day multi-gun match tests competitors’ skills across twelve challenging stages involving nearly every major shooting discipline for rifles, shotguns, and pistols. All guns and ammo are supplied, but entry fees are steep.
WSC Highlight Video with Competitor Interviews:
All the Equipment is Supplied
“What makes this event very unique, especially to a professional shooter, is all the equipment is supplied. You have to leave your ego at home and just try to adapt as best you can to the equipment that you have supplied.” — Jerry Miculek
This major match attracts both sponsored Pros and “regular Joes”. Shooters will be split into two groups: a Professional Division for sponsored shooters, and the Amateur Division for non-sponsored competitors. All firearms, optics, and ammo will be provided by match sponsors for both divisions.

Cash Awards, Huge Prize Table, and Random Drawings
The NRA World Shooting Championship will offer $250,000 in cash and prizes. Along with the $25,000 winner’s pay-out, there will be fat cash prizes for second and third place overall, High Lady, and High Amateur Junior. Then there are the rich prize tables. In 2017, the Amateur prize table held $100,000 worth of prizes. And last year the WSC added Ten (10) Random Drawings worth $400 each. These drawings, held during the WSC Awards Banquet, gave every competitor a chance to win cash, no matter what their event ranking.

Seen at the WSC: VuDoo Gunworks Tactical .22 LR Rimfire Rifles
The 2017 WSC included a side-match featuring Vudoo Gunworks .22 LR rimfire tactical rigs. Shooters were impressed with the V-22 rifle, which looks and feels like a centerfire rig, but with a rimfire repeater action running full-size mags.Vudoo states: “Our V-22 also runs a full-size short action bottom metal (DBM) and our V-2210 magazine has a [full-size] AICS form factor. The V-22 is the only controlled-round-feed .22 LR receiver out there. The bolt has full capture control of the cartridge from the time it leaves the magazine until it ejects the spent round out the ejection port.” That means the round never touches anything during feed travel so the bullets won’t be nicked/dented during rapid cycling. Sean Murphy of Nightforce enjoyed shooting the Vudoo Gun Works .22s: “I’ll probably end up with one of their rimfires as it is a sweet setup.”

I guess you can call it what you want, but the real World Championships are being held right now in Korea. NOT the same thing.
Your right, the 52nd World Shooting Championships are in Changwon, South Korea. Results can be viewed at usashooting.org
Has anyone been on a US World Championship Team?
I have. Barcelona Spain, 1998. My former teammate SFC Mike Mcfail just won bronze in 3-Pos. 50m rifle.
Lance your my hero! Wow, a member of a U.S. International Shooting Team. That’s a huge accomplishment. Not something you can do at an NRA match, labeled world championship.
It really means something when you represent yourself, the U.S Army and the United States of America on the biggest shooting stage on the planet.
I’ve heard about this guy McPhail. Shoots for the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit and assigned to the International Rifle Team.
Thanks. It is very special to be able to represent your country. I was very fortunate to have the opportunities that come with being at the Army Marksmanship Unit.
I wish you would teach me to shoot. Any chance you do individual coaching? With your experience, you should have a Shooting School. I bet all kinds of shooters and hunters would appreciate the instruction.
Billy, send me a PM with your contact info and we can discuss some lessons. I do some private and small group classes occasionally. Thanks for the interest.
Forgot to say that I am LSHopper in the forums.
