2025 NRA World Shooting Championship

The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) is proud to announce KelTec as an official sponsor of the 2025 NRA World Shooting Championship, returning to Camp Atterbury, Ind., from September 30 to October 4, 2025.

The NRA World Shooting Championship (WSC) is one of the most prestigious and comprehensive multi-discipline competitions in the world. Designed to test the skills of professional and amateur shooters alike, the event spans a wide range of shooting disciplines—including pistol, rifle, shotgun, and combined arms stages—over several days of competition. All firearms, ammunition, and optics are provided to ensure a level playing field for every competitor.

“The NRA is thrilled to have KelTec sign on as a sponsor of this year’s NRA World Shooting Championship,” said Josh Savani, Executive Director of NRA General Operations. “Competitors will be tested with some of the very best firearms from KelTec’s line as they aim to be crowned the ‘World’s Best Shooter.’ This is a competition that professional and casual shooters will not want to miss!”

This year, KelTec will sponsor two competition stages, supplying innovative firearms for both professional and amateur divisions:

Side Match 4—Falling Steel Stage: Competitors will run a fast-paced, reactive steel target course using the KelTec SUB2000 Gen3, a pistol-caliber carbine chambered in 9mm, equipped with a red dot optic for rapid target acquisition.

Side Match 6—NRA America’s Rifle Challenge (ARC) Level 1 Match: Competitors will take on a tactical rifle course using KelTec’s new SRO Peacekeeper Carbine, chambered in 5.56mm and outfitted with a 1x8 LPVO scope, designed for both speed and precision at varying distances.

All KelTec firearms featured during the event will also be included on the prize table, which will offer a total value nearing $250,000—available to both amateur and professional shooters.

“We’re grateful to be part of the 2025 NRA World Shooting Championship as it makes its return,” said Matt Stanek, KelTec marketing manager. “It’s an absolute blast for newcomers and seasoned shooters alike, and the prize table is always stacked. We’re proud to be in great company again this year.”
