CMP Clarifies NRA 2020 National Matches Communication
By Steve Cooper, CMP Training & Education Manager CAMP PERRY, OH – The Civilian Marksmanship Program wishes to help clarity that the 2020 National Matches pistol, smallbore, rifle and long-range rifle events will all be fired at Camp Perry, Ohio from July 7 through August 8, 2020, with pistol check-in on Monday, July 6. This announcement follows an earlier National Rifle Association posting in its Competition Registration Portal that showed in error, the NRA Pistol Championships being fired at Camp Perry. The NRA quickly replaced its original pistol schedule posting with correct information for its events at Camp Atterbury. As a result of the original posting, the CMP received multiple communications from pistol competitors who sought clarification. All CMP National Trophy pistol and rifle matches, and CMP Games events will be fired in the National Matches at Camp Perry, near Port Clinton, Ohio, where it has been located since 1907.

Your Hump Day Reading List for December 4, 2019
Welcome to your Hump Day Reading List!
This is your refuge from the impersonal Google and FaceBook algorithms that seem to run our lives these days. Instead of a machine deciding what you’ll see, I personally go out and look for great articles that actually have value in the quest for greater personal and family safety.
From all of the articles that I find, I weed out the “fake news” and those that don’t have direct application to some aspect of preparedness. Then, to fight the growing scourge of information overload, I distill everything down to what I believe to be the three most useful articles you can read right now, explain the context of those articles, and identify any bias so you can trust what you read.
It’s a more personal, more targeted, and more efficient way to get the information you need!

I’m not wild about Wildey …
When you see this tag on a pistol, you know things may get interesting: Can’t read it? Here’s the text: CAUTION This gun is unique in many ways. Do not handle and/or fire it without having read the instruction manual. If there is anything you don’t understand, seek advice from someone qualified in safe handling […]
