He won many of his championships shooting a modular rifle of his own design — the Tubb 2000, aka T2K.

David Tubb Talks about KO2M and Extreme Long Range Shooting
David Tubb’s long-range rifles have performed well in Extreme Long Range shooting. AT the 2019 NRA Extreme Long Range Championship, David Tubb won the Heavy Gun Division. In this video, created during the King of 2 Miles (K02M) competition at the Whittington Center in New Mexico, David talks about the challenges of ELR shooting, and cartridge selection. Big, heavy, large-caliber bullets with ultra-high BCs are favored for the ELR game, but recoil and cost must also be considered.
David Tubb’s Approach to Load Development
In this 27-minute video, David talks about case prep and loading with both regular and progressive presses. David shares his methods. He recommends weighing your brass and segregating them in one grain increments. He then does an initial test with powder charge weights in half-grain increments (for smaller BR cases we recommend 0.3 grain increments). He then also experiments with seating depths.

I think Ltc. Lones Wigger “owns” the title of America’s greatest Marksman. But David was pretty good.
What Lance said.
Maybe the author of the article isn’t familiar with international or Olympic shooting.
Lones Wigger owns the title hands down.
David Tubb is a great rifle shooter, but his accomplishments pale in comparison to Lones Wigger, “The Greatest Rifle Shooter of All-Time”. Two Olympic Gold Medals and one Silver in three different rifle shooting events. An astounding 29 World Records and 111 medals in several international rifle shooting events! Over 90 Individual National Championships in Smallbore Three-Position, Smallbore Prone, 300 Meter, Air Rifle, and Smallbore and Highpower Rifle Silhouette. This includes over 20 National Championships in Smallbore at Camp Perry.
I believe he also shot successfully in Schutzenfest, AKA Coors trophy matches
