As we head into spring, many Americans will be spending more time at the range. And competitors will be shooting in rimfire and centerfire rifle matches throughout the country. Here’s an opportunity to learn competition skills, gun tuning methods, and reloading techniques from leading experts. A vast resource of gun-related content is available online for FREE. Check out the Shooting Sports USA Articles Archive. SSUSA maintains a vast digital library with hundreds of articles going back to June 2009.

It’s easy to find back issues of Shooting Sports USA. Here’s how: First, navigate to the latest SSUSA Online Issue. Then click on the “ARCHIVES” icon in the upper right area (indicated with red arrow). When you click on “ARCHIVES”, a window will open with a selection of Shooting Sports USA magazine covers/dates in a vertical column. The most recent issue (November 2025) will appear at the top. You can then scroll down — use the vertical scroll bar to go from November 2025 (the latest issue) all the way back to June 2009. Click any issue cover to read.

The June 2020 issue features a Palma rifle built with Eliseo Tubegun Chassis System.

NOTE: It’s wise to use these archived digital magazine resources while you can. The NRA will continue the Shooting Sports USA website, but it has halted release of the monthly Shooting Sports USA digital magazines. Thankfully however, there will be new content posted regularly on the Shooting Sports USA website at SSUSA.org. Shown below is a review of the Tikka T3x Ace Target rifle from December 2025.
