The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) is excited to announce that the 2025 NRA World Shooting Championship, presented by Walther Arms, Inc., will take place at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, September 30 through October 4, 2025. Being held for the eighth time, the NRA World Shooting Championship is the ultimate, all-encompassing tournament to crown the undisputed “World Shooting Champion” from professional and amateur competitive shooters. Approximately $250,000 in cash and prizes are available to the field of competitors, with $25,000 awarded to the "World Shooting Champion" and $1,000 going to the winner of each stage of competition. Through this match, the NRA, match sponsors, and the State of Indiana are again showing their continued commitment to supporting competitive shooting and the Second Amendment.

“The NRA World Shooting Championship is the ultimate test of skill, bringing together the top shooters to compete across multiple disciplines,” said Josh Savani, Executive Director of NRA General Operations. “This annual event showcases the diversity and excitement of the shooting sports and welcomes amateur and professional shooters who aim to be crowned the ‘World’s Greatest Shooter.’ NRA is proud to host this world-class competition, and we are grateful for the continued support from Walther Arms and our industry partners who help make this match a resounding success.”

The NRA World Shooting Championship is the ultimate challenge for competitors in any shooting discipline. Firearms, optics, and ammunition are provided to all competitors of the NRA World Shooting Championship to set a level playing field. Competitors will compete in twelve stages of fire spanning the shooting sport disciplines.
