One of the members at Snipers Hide pointed out the newsletter and the High Power Tips articles by the USAMU team.
Darn you! I was up until 1:00 AM last night reading all of the articles. Great newsletter and really great USAMU articles.
Thanks,
Michael E.
Great article written on physical conditioning in the latest TFS. I was one of likely many who had asked about the type of conditioning recommended for serious shooters. Sgt. Craig did a great job on describing the routines. Now it’s my turn to put it to work.
Thanks to you, Sgt. Craig and other contributors who share best practices of shooting excellence.
Sincerely,
Keith H.
I use these articles in our high power clinics and have found them very helpful for both new shooters and reinforcement of the basics for the more experienced.
Thanks, Gary M.
Thanks for the great articles on the Carbine, Springfield, Garand matches. All the articles are interesting, but the Carbine, Springfield & Garand are my favorites.

The September-07 on line shooting tips by SSG Tobie Tomlinson, USAMU Service Rifle Team Member, is a great article. I have reproduced 15 copies of it to hand out and discuss to our “newbie” first year air rifle shooters on our high school JROTC Air Rifle Team. Come to think about it believe I’ll hand out a copy to my advance shooters as well. His explanations are simple to understand but rich in detail. Coupled with the sight pictures this article will go a long way towards helping all our JROTC shooters obtain better sight patterns. Keep up the great work. AND…..keep the articles like this coming.

It seemed good to read the article on Infantry Trophy Match. As a shooter on the Marine Corp Team way back in 1967 I participated in the Match. We were the second team for the Marines but placed second overall. One of our shooters forgot to put the windage on his rifle. I enjoyed shooting the M-1 and M-14 at Camp Perry and always wanted to go back but never seemed to find the time. The top over all shooter at that time was my team mate Lt. Bowen. I remember some of the team members carrying him from the 600 yd line back to the rest of us. It was a great time in my life and will never forget it. Thanks again for the article.

Great articles. Great to identify those who are participating as well as those who are working behind the scenes to make the whole of the National Matches run so well.

CMP North Store Re-Opens
By Christine Elder, CMP Communications Manager
|
|
The CMP North Store at Camp Perry officially re-opened on
12 March. A line with anxious customers formed outside in the 30 degree Ohio March weather. The North Store closed at the end of January for remodeling to give the store a “new look” which increased the size of the rifle selection area, improved physical security and the customer shopping experience.

The North Store is now 1152 square feet and fully stocked with approximately 450-500 rifles including M1 Garands, Springfield Armory Correct Grade M1 Garands, H&R Service and Field Grade M1 Garands, various Carbines (Service and Rack grade), Kimbers, H&R M12s, ammunition, shooting accessories and CMP memorabilia. CMP North Store Manager Mike Conrad says, “The new look includes several features for our customers. Enhanced lighting and a new layout with no fenced-in area should improve their experience. We still have a few items to smooth out but comments from customers were positive.”
Over 400 customers from eight states including New York and New Jersey visited the store on
12 March, the day of the re-opening and were happy with the changes to the store. They carefully searched the racks of rifles to find their treasured rifle.
The federal law that established the CMP authorizes the Corporation to sell surplus .30 and .22 caliber military rifles, parts and ammunition to qualified U. S. citizens “for marksmanship”. All net revenue from CMP sales operations is used to fund current operations, programs and an endowment to support future programs.
