You will still get all the valuable information included in every issue, but instead of receiving the magazine in your mailbox, you can log onto www.usashooting.org and click on the “Media/USAS Magazine” tab on the left side of the navigation bar to find the November/ December issue. We hope you will enjoy reading USA Shooting News online and we appreciate your understand- ing; this short-term measure will help us continue to support our athlete programs. We look forward to your feedback, and we will certainly keep you updated on any future changes to the magazine. Another change we hope you will welcome is the transition from Hang-a-Star to Rail Station membership and event databases services. By the time you receive this magazine, the membership services transition will be complete, but event services and statistics may not be available for up to 90 days. During this period memberships and events-related transactions such as entries, match event sanctioning and score reporting can be accomplished via email, phone, fax and postal service. We apologize for the temporary inconvenience, but we believe the change will allow improved and expanded functions as well as a more user-friendly system for members and clubs.

    MN Youth Basketball Virtual Outreach Sessions presented by Jimmy John’s and brought to you by www.myas.org Thank you to the 94 youth basketball association leaders representing 85 youth basketball associations from around the state of Minnesota, for attending the Virtual Outreach Sessions. One of our many goals as an organization is to link regional volunteer youth sports programs with others statewide and that is what we intend to do. We are here to provide guidance, support, and assistance to every youth basketball association in the state of Minnesota. Our goal is to unify the Minnesota youth basketball community which will foster the 5 C’s: 1. Compliance 2. Communication 3. Connectivity 4. Consistency 5. Conciseness As the 2020-2021 winter community-based basketball season draws closer and closer, we need to ensure that the entire Minnesota Youth Basketball Community is #strongertogether. We know many youth basketball leaders have expressed much concern about the upcoming season due to the unknowns we have at this time. We know that a task force was created by the MSHSL to determine the direction of winter sports. A decision will then be made by the MSHSL Board of Directors in October. This decision will not dictate what happens at the youth level, but it will greatly impact how we move forward as a youth basketball community. At the MYAS, we have proven that with the correct safety precautions and guidelines in place, we are able to administer youth basketball tournaments in a safe way. That is our #1 priority for your youth basketball association to do the same this winter.

  • A History of the United States National Outdoor Smallbore Rifle Championships 1919-2013
    A History of the United States National Outdoor Smallbore Rifle Championships 1919-2013 By Hap Rocketto August 25, 2013 i Acknowledgement This history is an attempt to capture the events and personalities that make the National Rifle Association’s National Outdoor Smallbore Rifle Championship such a powerful and interesting story. Covering the years 1919 through 2002 was done under the auspices of the NRA’s publications division, as source material for The National Matches: 1903-2003 The First 100 Years. The reports of the years 2003-2010 were written for, and published by, Precision Shooting Magazine until that publication’s demise and thereafter they were specifically written for this history. This is not a formal history in the sense that bibliography is not appended nor are sources cited. However, much of this story was collected from the rich store of information archived in the written reports found in the shooting journals Arms and the Man, The American Rifleman, Tournament News, Shooting Sports USA, and Precision Shooting Magazine as well as the programs and bulletins of The National Matches and NRA Shooting Trophies. To these writers, the many anonymous NRA staff writers who reported on the events at Camp Perry without a byline, Kendrick Scofield, Edward C. Crossman, Walter Stokes, C.S.

  • 50 Meter Free Pistol 300 Meter Free Rifle – 3X40 Trap Men & Women 125 Targets
    USA Shooting NATIONAL OLYMPIC RECORDS As of June 2021 USA Shooting recognizes national records for each ISSF, special event, and developmental events recognized by USA Shooting. For the junior category, records will be recognized for Junior (open), J2, and J3. Senior, Intermediate Senior, and Veteran Senior category records will also be recognized. To be recognized as a national record, the score must be fired in a USA Shooting recognized special or developmental event or an ISSF event in a USA Shooting sanctioned competition. The competition must have been conducted on facilities that meet all technical requirements for distances, timing, etc. The competitor who fired the record score must be a current USA Shooting member and have used only equipment that completely fulfills all requirements for that event as per the General Technical Rules. If equipment control was not conducted at the beginning of the competition, the competition director may conduct a special equipment control to certify that the competitor’s equipment fulfilled these conditions. National records may not be set in leagues or postal competitions. Individual records may be set in those events that contain a minimum of 5 competitors for any event. Any event fired at a reduced distance with reduced distance targets, must follow all requirements of the official event. (i.e. 50-meter events reduced to 50-feet must follow requirements for the 50-meter event.) Team records have been retired. National records will be recognized if the score is fired in an international competition supervised by the ISSF. The competitor must have been a member of the USA Shooting sponsored team for that activity.

    12 US 20 A I S P SF U WORLD C OFFICIAl Media Guide March 23 – april 1, 2012 Tucson Trap & Skeet club 7800 W. Old ajo highway visitTucson.org 2012worldcup.tucsontrapandskeet.com (520) 883-6426 | toll free (888) 530-5335 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. USA Shooting is pleased to introduce the official 2012 Media Guide for the Tucson World Cup. Since participation in the first Olympic Games in 1896, American shooters have won over 100 medals. Though the events have changed over the years, the spirit of the Games remains. The title of the media guide is “Creating Legends on the Road to London” because American shooters have been so successful in the past and the future is equally lustrous. While there are many opportunities to shoot competitively in the United States, USA Shooting offers world-class athletes the opportunity to achieve Olympic and Paralympic dreams. “To me, the concept of wearing the USA on my back in the Paralympic Games in 2012 means that I have found my way through the fear factor. I have found a new sense of self and I have not only leveled the playing field from Special Operations soldier to Paralympic athlete . I have eclipsed all previous expectations of who I wanted to be and created a new pinnacle that exceeded all previous achievements and I did it without the use of my legs,” said 2012 U.S. Paralympic Team nominee Eric Hollen. Hollen is not only a top-notch individual, but also a very talented and hard-working shooter. Holllen was awarded USA Shooting’s 2010 and 2011 Paralympic Athlete of the Year distinction, and most notably, he was recently nominated to the 2012 U.S.
