The 2026 CMP National Matches will take place at Camp Perry from July 12 through August 8, 2026, with the First Shot Ceremony on Monday, July 13, 2026. The rifle segments of the CMP National Matches commence next week at Camp Perry. First there will be smallbore competition July 12-22, with centerfire rifle matches commencing on July 20, and running through August 8, concluding with the Mid-Range and Long Range Matches. To help those who will be competing this year, we offer Ten Lessons from Gary Anderson, DCM Emeritus. TEN WAYS to Win — Competition Advice from Gary Anderson In the archives of On The Mark magazine, Gary Anderson, an Olympic Gold medal-winning shooter, offers sage advice for competitive shooters. In his article Ten Lessons I Wished I Had Learned as a Young Shooter, Anderson provides ten important guidelines for everyone involved in competitive shooting. Here are the Ten Lessons, but you should read the full article. Anderson provides detailed explanations of each topic with examples from his shooting career. READ Full Article by Gary Anderson in On the Mark. LESSON 1 – NATURAL ABILITY WILL NOT MAKE YOU A SHOOTING CHAMPION. (You also need hard work, training effort and perseverance.) LESSON 2 – ANGER IS THE ENEMY OF GOOD SHOOTING. (The key to recovering from a bad shot is to stay cool, no matter what happens.) LESSON 3 – BAD SHOTS CAN TEACH YOU MORE THAN GOOD SHOTS. (Today, error analysis is one of the most powerful tools for improving scores.) LESSON 4 – NEVER GO WITHOUT A SHOT PLAN. (A shot plan is a detailed breakdown of each of the steps involved in firing a shot.) LESSON 5 – PRACTICE IN BAD CONDITIONS AS WELL AS GOOD CONDITIONS. (Most competitions are fired in windy conditions or where there are plenty of distractions.) LESSON 6 – CHAMPIONS ARE POSITIVE, OPTIMISTIC PEOPLE. (Negative shooters expect bad results; positive shooters expect to train hard to change bad results.) LESSO…

encoded: This USAMU article explores three different “Philosophies” of precision reloading. Some handloaders seek to produce ammo that yields the very tightest groups (without factoring in the wind). Other shooters load their ammo to deliver the highest safe velocity. That’s because a projectile launched at higher velocity will drift less in the wind. The theory is that even if fast ammo doesn’t produce the tightest groups in zero wind conditions, it will yield higher scores in a the real world (where the wind blows). Lastly, some handloaders favor ammo that is ultra-consistent across a wide temperature range. This last philosophy dictates selection of a powder that is temp-insensitive, even if it may not produce the very best raw accuracy (or speed). What’s Your Handloading Philosophy? Objectives of Reloading — Accuracy, Velocity, Temp Stability What do you, the reader, primarily value in your handloads? Viewpoint ONE: Accuracy Trumps Everything Some shooters prize consistent, excellent medium/long range accuracy enough that they’re willing to give up some extra velocity (and reduced wind deflection) to obtain that. Their underlying philosophy could be stated: “Superior accuracy is present for every shot, but the wind isn’t”. One’s ability to hold well, aim well and read the wind are all factors in making this type decision. The photo below shows stellar raw accuracy. This is an 0.67″, 10-shot group at 300-yards fired from a text fixture. The group measures just 0.67″. (This shows the USAMU’s 600-yard load with 75gr bullets). Viewpoint TWO: Load to Highest Safe Velocity for Less Wind Drift Some shooters value obtaining the highest safe velocity, even if one’s pure, consistent mechanical accuracy at medium/long range isn’t quite as brilliant. The theory here seems to be that a really good hold extracts as much mechanical accuracy from the rifle/ammo as possible, and faster bullets equal occasional “bonus” points snatched from the jaws of wind. [For example] one of the USAMU’…

encoded: Federal Ammunition has introduced a new type of firearm cover, the Federal Fit Coil Rifle Cover. The Federal Fit Coil Rifle Cover features a roll-up design that lets shooters adjust cover length to the firearm. A key feature is an internal retracting elastic band that allows easy insertion but also adapts the cover to the actual rifle length from muzzle to buttpad. Federal’s new rifle cover is “suppressor-ready”, meaning the muzzle area inside the cover has heat-resistant lining. Sizes include medium for firearms of 34 to 44 inches in length, large for 39 to 49 inches, and XL for 44 to 54 inches. All sizes are equipped with a quick-grab handle. “With a roll-up design that lets shooters adjust case length to the firearm, our Federal Fit Coil Rifle Cover is a suppressor-ready rifle case that is ready for anything,” explains Jake Jacobs, Federal’s Accessories Product Director. “It has a heat-resistant lining in the muzzle area and a quick-grab handle. With suppressors being so wildly popular these days, having the gear needed to protect them properly and conveniently is an absolute necessity.”

encoded: Coalinga Range in California. At dawn we could clearly see 7mm and .30 Cal bullet holes at 1000 yards. While attending the CA Long Range Championship a few seasons back, we had the opportunity to test the performance of a high-magnification (63X) spotting scope in near-ideal conditions (maybe the best I’ve ever witnessed). On the event’s last day we arrived at 5:45 am, literally as the sun was cresting the horizon. I quickly deployed our Pentax PF-100ED spotting scope, fitted with a Pentax SMC-XW 10mm fixed-power eyepiece. When used with the 100mm Pentax scope, this 10mm eyepiece yields 63X magnification. Befitting its $319.00 price, this eyepiece is extremely clear and sharp. At the crack of dawn, viewing conditions were ideal. No mist, no mirage, no wind. The first thing this Editor noticed was that I could see metal nail heads on the target boards. That was astonishing. As soon as the first practice targets went up, to my surprise, I could see 6.5mm, 7mm, and 30-caliber bullet holes in the white at 1000 yards. No lie… That’s right, I could see bullet holes at 1000. I know many of you folks may not believe that, but there was no mistaking when I saw a 7mm bullet cut the white line separating the Nine Ring and Eight Ring on the target in view. (I was watching that target as the shot was fired and saw the shot-hole form). And when I looked at the 30-cal targets, the bullet holes in the white were quite visible. In these perfect conditions I could also make out 3/8″ bolt heads on the target frames. The Human Factor — Good Vision Required When viewing the bullet holes, I was using my left naked eye (no safety glasses or magnification). I also had a contact lens in my right eye (needed for distance vision). To my surprise, while I could see the bullet holes without much difficulty with my left eye, things were fuzzier and slightly more blurry with the right eye, even when I re-focused the scope. That contact lens was degrading the fine resolution. Then I invited 3 or 4…

encoded: The U.S. Supreme Court has granted Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) petitions for a writ of certiorari, in legal actions challenging state/local laws restricting “assault weapons”. In two notable cases — Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins — the Supreme Court has determined to consider SAF’s challenges to the bans on so-called “assault weapons” in Illinois and Connecticut. Originally filed in 2021, Viramontes challenges the Cook County (Illinois) ban on many popular, commonly-owned modern guns, which was the precursor for the nearly identical statewide ban passed by the Illinois legislature. In Grant v. Higgins, SAF challenges Connecticut’s broad ban on common, mag-fed, semi-automatic rifles — both by name and by feature set. After a troubling and misguided preliminary injunction decision from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, SAF presented the case to the Supreme Court for consideration. “The Supreme Court’s decision to hear these pivotal cases will finally provide the courts the necessary guidance as it relates to the types of arms protected by the Second Amendment,” said SAF Executive Director Adam Kraut. “The modern semi-automatic rifles banned in Cook County, Connecticut and elsewhere are among the most commonly owned firearms in the country, placing them well within the scope of the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment protects arms in common use for lawful purposes, and it’s hard to argue that a type of rifle that potentially outnumbers Ford F-150 trucks in America doesn’t meet that standard.” SAF is joined in Viramontes v. Cook County by the Firearms Policy Coalition and two private citizens, and is joined in Grant v. Higgins by the Connecticut Citizens Defense League and three private citizens. The SAF correctly argues that AR-15 type rifles are protected by the Second Amendment and are commonly used for home defense.

encoded: G. David Tubb, America’s greatest competitive marksman, sadly passed away on July 2, 2026 from serious heart and blood oxygen complications following a lower leg amputation surgery. America’s shooting world has lost one of its true superstars, a man whose records at the range will likely never be surpassed. If you have ever competed in NRA High Power, Silhouette, or Long Range disciplines, you know the name David Tubb. Arguably the greatest rifle marksman in American history, David has recorded 11 High Power Rifle Championships, 6 Long Range National Championships, and 7 High Power Silhouette National Championships. Over his career David has won 130 NRA trophies for various competitions. No one has even come close to that number of Championships and honors in rifle competition. After David passed we communicated with his daughter, Christie Tubb Stallter. She was deeply saddened but wanted to help us understand David’s skills and achievements both as a marksman and a father. G. David Tubb — Great Marksman and Great Father by Christie Tubb Stallter Editor: Over his many decades of shooting, David Tubb amassed more major medals, trophies, and awards than any other American marksman in history. Here his daughter lists some of the most important awards. Then Christie explains the qualities David had that made him a great marksman and a great father. Summary of David Tubb’s Awards Dad had so many individual match awards that we did not keep records of them all. There are trophies and plaques in stacks up high in storage in a few places at my parents’ house and business office. He had over 130 NRA national trophies over his shooting career. Dad was most proud of the perfect score he shot to win the 2004 NRA Long-Range Highpower Rifle National Championship in Camp Perry, Ohio. He did not drop a single point over the course of the match, making this his proudest accomplishment.

encoded: This site is for and about accurate shooters. So today we feature the short-range group Benchrest game, where it’s all about shooting tiny groups in the ones and even “zeros”. Seeing the tiny groups 6 PPC aces produce, it’s easy to think the precision is all about the equipment. But there is a lot more involved. A talented human still has to watch the flags, run the gun properly, and tune his loads for the conditions. Here are some tips from one of the world’s best benchresters, Charles Huckeba. Texan Charles Huckeba was the top individual shooter at the 2013 World Benchrest Championships (WBC) held near Sydney Australia in October 2013. In this video, 2013 WBC Two-Gun Overall winner Charles shoots a 1/8th MOA group at 200 yards — “a little bitty dot” as a fellow Team USA shooter observes. That’s impressive. If you can describe Huckeba’s style in a nutshell it would be “smooth, consistent, and rapid but not hurried”. Charles also employed some unusual hardware. In the video, take a close look at the joystick on the Farley Coaxial front rest. There’s no knob at the end. In its place is a small, wood ammo caddy. Charles removed the standard knob from the handle of his Farley rest and replaced it with a home-made wood block that holds cartridges for the record target. The 10.5-lb Light Varmint rifle is chambered in 6PPC with a BAT Machine Action and a composite wood and carbon-fiber stock. Watch Charles Huckeba Shoot 1/8 MOA, 200-yard group at World Benchrest Championships Here is the actual 200-yard, 5-shot group Charles shot in the video. Photo (by Stuart Elliot) taken through the lens of Huckeba’s 50X March scope (reticle has 1/16th MOA Dot). Analyzing the Fine Points — What Makes Huckeba So Good Short-range benchrest shooter Boyd Allen saw some interesting things in Huckeba’s WBC performance, as captured on video. Boyd noticed Huckeba’s smooth gun-handling and efficient loading. But Boyd also spied some interesting equipment, including an innovative joystick “handl…

encoded: Wall Art available from ETSY Today, July 4th, we celebrate a special 250th birthday — the launching of a new nation in 1776 — a nation that became the world’s greatest exemplar of freedom and democracy. In our modern world, it is easy to lose sight of the challenges that faced our fore-fathers, and the continuing burdens we all share, as Americans, to maintain the struggle for freedom, both at home and abroad. It is more important than ever that we remember the ideals on which the nation was founded, and remember that our nation became great through the efforts and talents of a free citizenry, not through an all-powerful central government. In the Beginning — Overcoming Great Odds In a July 4th speech, Navy Lt. Ellen Connors wrote: “Our nation declared its independence in order for our families to live free –- not just for one generation but for future generations. And what odds [the founding fathers] faced. It must have seemed impossible. Our forefathers went up against the world’s most colossal empire since ancient Rome. No colony had ever successfully left a mother country to set up a self-governing state.” The National Guard, Heritage Paintings Collection. Battle of Long Island by Domenick D’Andrea. The Price of Freedom… The Pride of A Nation Here is a selection from Daniel Webster’s July 4th, 1851 Oration. His words ring true even now: On the 4th of July, 1776, the assembled Representatives of the United States of America in Congress declared that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, FREE and INDEPENDENT States. This Declaration, made by most patriotic and resolute men, trusting in the justice of their cause and the protection of Heaven, and yet made not without deep solicitude and anxiety, has now stood for seventy-five years, and still stands. It was sealed in blood. It has met dangers, and overcome them; it has had enemies, and conquered them; it has had detractors, and abashed them all…. Every mans’ heart swells within him… as he remembers t…
