NRA National Pistol Championships to Cardinal
NRA Pistol National Championships to Cardinal !
First, I would like to set the record straight. In 2019, Cardinal started the 4 Gun Showdown as the third match in Ohio. This match was scheduled in front of the Bickar Memorial held at Canton McKinley, not to compete with it but to enhance the overall experience in Ohio. That year as some know, the NRA announced they were moving to Camp Atterbury for 2020 when competitors were on the firing line at the first Cardinal match.
Now after 5 years at Atterbury, we see the NRA has made the decision to move yet again. So, Cardinal has been in talks with the NRA to bring the 2025 NRA National Pistol Championships back home to Ohio. I am happy to announce that the agreement has now been reached and contract signed. For more information on registration, camping/ RV spots visit the Cardinal website starting in 2025. https://www.thecardinalcenter.com/shooting-center and https://www.redfeatheroutfitters.com
How would this work? Well here is how. The Cardinal 4 gun match is now replaced by the new NRA National Pistol Championship. The proposed dates are July 5th - 9th.
The NRA NPC would now become the first round of the Ohio triple crown. The Triple Crown will be the 2700 scores from the NRA NPC, The Bickar Memorial held at Canton McKinley, and the CMP,s National Matches.
Cardinal would be responsible for the running of the entire match.
Cardinal is also working on lunch and dinner options like at Canton McKinley, along with a swap meet and other side events such as trap,skeet,sporting clays combinations. This would now decrease the amount of time and vacation one would have to use to compete in the three largest bullseye pistol matches in the country to two weeks.
Here is the tentative schedule.

08:00- registration opens
10:00- opening ceremonies

Re: NRA National Pistol Championships to Cardinal
I have checked the NRA website and the Cardinal website and nothing is published about this. Is this going to happen?

I think it is just called the canton match, or maybe the canton McKinley match.

According to Dane Hogle via the above and personal communication that deal to bring the NRA Championships was JUST finalized, therefore I doubt you would find it in print or online just yet.

(well ackshually)
It is the Frank J. Bickar Memorial CMP Championship.
For, well, going on probably 50 years now, the Canton McKinley Rifle and Pistol Club has worked to provide the greatest Bullseye Pistol match experience on the planet. That was Frank's vision, and why the match is named in his honor.
Over the course of those 50 years, I have seen some contenders come and go. The more the merrier, I say. Everybody should run an awesome Bullseye Pistol match. Lobsters in Maine, smoked BBQ and a low-country boil in SC, shoot-two-2700s-plus-every-International-event-in-one-week in AZ, catch fish every afternoon in Indiana after shooting a 900 at Camp Atterbury. I like to see the sport thrive.
I try to run two awesome matches every year in California. We'll feed you; come on out. If you can find a place better-situated to shoot a PB, I'm on the first plane there.
We appreciate everyone's patronage of our match at Canton; we couldn't do it without you.
See y'all in Canton next year.

I have four Bickars within arm's length, and I have verifiable proof that there was a Bickar in Ohio as recently as July.
We'll just agree to disagree then.

It looks like I will get to see Cardinal! But I miss the view and surrounding report of machine guns and artillery from my two trips to Atterbury

my daughter says I should be kind to people like you who when shown they were in error, and even done kindly, and they just insist that they were right all along, to just let it go, because they can't. is it weird to be wrong so frequently like all of us normal people to just saty you know this doesn't apply to me because what ? you should try it.
i admit that I was in local 1, and did not have all the ins and outs of best writting. my apologies. i worked for a living, started with boilermakers and retired in pipefitting. Lost the wife when my daughter was 10 and my son 8, but did the best i could and got lucky with the in;aws to help me. thank christ for nancy and walt, saevd my bacon more than i could repay. but i did work for a living, and my kids ended up great, one teaching here and the other in alabama. smart like there mother. don't think you could understand any of that, as you know so much.
the world is accident and error. maybe you haven't had any yet. hope you don't
