Wow! Please forward my thanks to everyone responsible for all the improvements I just read about at Camp Perry. Recent years have included quite a few impressive improvements and it looks like there are more this year. The Air Gun range, bath house at RV Park, Bataan Armory remodel, etc are all great. Just letting you know how much we (competitors) appreciate all the work.
Sincerely...

CMP Shooters' News is one of my favorite email news publications. Information packed, talented authors, timely subjects, and all around well done. What a great service you are providing to the shooting community. Just wanted to say thanks and Merry Christmas.

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,

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.

Thanks for the great series of articles from the USAMU – they are very readable, and usable!

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.

Bushmaster Firearms of Windham, Maine, recently made a $10,000.00 contribution to the CMP National Matches Junior Highpower Support Fund. A formal check presentation ceremony took place at Camp Butner, North Carolina on 7 May during the Eastern CMP Games and Creedmoor Cup Matches that took place at Camp Butner on 3 to 11 May. The check represents the proceeds from a special series of Bushmaster DCM-XR competition rifles that were produced to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the National Matches coming to Camp Perry, Ohio.
Jerrod McDevitt, the Manager of Business Development at Bushmaster, presented the check. When Bushmaster produced and began marketing the special DCM-XR rifle during the 2007 National Matches at Camp Perry, they committed to donating $100.00 from each rifle sale to the CMP National Matches Junior Highpower Support Fund that is used to provide financial assistance to partially offset the costs of travel, accommodations and entry fees for juniors competing in the CMP service rifle matches at Camp Perry. In 2007, this fund provided nearly $25,000.00 in support for junior highpower shooters to help make it possible for them to attend the National Matches.

CMP Director Gary Anderson said, “the CMP deeply appreciates Bushmaster’s offering this exciting rifle promotion to celebrate the Camp Perry Centennial. It made a high quality competition service rifle available to a lot of shooters at a very attractive price and it significantly benefited our country’s junior service rifle program. More junior shooters will be able to participate in National Matches service rifle competitions because of Bushmaster’s great support.”
One hundred of these special AR-platform competition rifles were produced. They were serial numbered “1 of 100” through “100 of 100.” The laser-engraving on the magazine well of these rifles featured a logo commemorating the Camp Perry Centennial and the CMP. Number one of this series of rifles was used by Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army John McLaurin to fire the ceremonial first shot in the 2007 National Matches First Shot Ceremony.
