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.

"You help our shooting dreams come true!"

CMP,
Your review of the CMP EIC brought back good memories. My son and I usually participate in the rifle event. This was the first time we participated in the pistol event. Our experience was positive and we have decided to come back and do it again next year!

I don't think that I have taken the time lately to thank you and the CMP for your faithfulness in keeping me updated on all of the CMP news. I thank you and your staff very much for the fine job you are all doing.
Many thanks, and keep up the great work!

Your article titled "Rifle Cleaning and Maintenance" was so timely. I am a novice rifle shooter, and the information is just what I needed. The owner's manual that came with my rifle is far too sketchy and assumes the new owner is experienced. This is concise yet detailed enough to make me comfortable cleaning my firearm.
Regards,

Cleaning a rifle or handgun is not a lot of fun. The article on cleaning the rifle met the K.I.S.S. principle that I can relate to and understand. To the point.

Thank you for this excellent e-newsletter. The links and information are great.
Sincerely,

Friends of Camp Perry Supporting Shooters Memorial Plaza
|
|
Historic Camp Perry was established in 1906. The National Matches that were founded by an Act of Congress in 1903 were moved to Camp Perry in 1907. The Ohio National Guard post that is located just 5 miles west of Port Clinton, Ohio on
State Highway 2 has been the home of the Matches ever since. Each year over six thousand competitors, family members and volunteers who support the Matches travel to Camp Perry to be part of this great
national shooting festival and series of national championships. Camp Perry has become hallowed ground to virtually all of these National Matches participants.
The “Friends of Camp Perry” is an organization comprised mainly of civic and business leaders in
the Port Clinton area and individuals who know and love Camp Perry. The Friends of Camp Perry’s mission is to promote the health and welfare of the troops who train at Camp Perry, to preserve the history and traditions of Camp Perry and to support the National Matches at Camp Perry. Members of the organization volunteer their time to initiate and support many special projects that benefit Camp Perry and the National Matches.
On of the most exciting new Friends of Camp Perry endeavors is the sale of bricks for
a Shooters’ Memorial Plaza walkway. The Shooters’ Memorial Plaza is being established in the area immediately in front of the main flagpole at Camp Perry and
the Critchfield Monument by the flagpole. Anyone who likes the idea of creating this memorial and who wants to be part of the effort to raise funds to make it a permanent part of Camp Perry, can purchase an engraved brick for $50. You can purchase a brick to memorialize a friend or relative. Each brick can be engraved with up to three lines of text with a maximum of 14 characters per line. The texts on the bricks will become specific memorials to past or present National Matches competitors or volunteers. There will be approximately 1,400 bricks sold to create the base for the Shooters Plaza.

The artist’s drawing shows how this plaza will truly become a beautiful tribute to Camp Perry and the individuals who have made it so special to the thousands who come there each year. Download the
order form to make your purchase. If you would like more information on some of the projects that the Friends of Camp Perry have been doing, you can go to their website at
