Competitors Showcase Historic Rifles While Having Fun Participating in the 2010 CMP Games Matches - The CMP Games events have become a staple at the conclusion of the National Trophy Rifle Matches. The Games are a unique opportunity for competitors, collectors and history enthusiasts to showcase rifles that played pivotal roles in American history.
At the CMP Games Matches, it is not glory that people are seeking on the range, but rather a chance to shoot the same rifle that their father, or grandfather carried in WWII, the Korean War and other conflicts. Of course medals are awarded and winners recognized, but the ultimate goal of the CMP Games is fun and friendly competition.

A series of National Trophy Rifle Match Articles are posted on Oklahoma City's examiner.com. Kent Stonecipher is a member of both the Oklahoma Rifle Team and the Oklahoma Pistol Team. He has earned the Distinguished Rifleman and the Distinguished Pistol Shot badges in competition as well as having made the Rifle President's 100 during his trips to the National Trophy Rifle & Pistol Matches at Camp Perry over the last twenty years. Kent is the High Power Rifle Chairman for the Oklahoma Rifle Association. Here's a summary and link to his recent articles:
* President's 100 Match at the Camp Perry Rifle National Matches - The Camp Perry Rifle National Matches begin. Today's President's 100 day. I made the mistake of bunking in a room with a Marine. He was out of bed at 4:00 AM. I rolled over and tried to get back to sleep. Read the complete article at http://www.examiner.com/firearms-in-okl ... -matches-1.
* Camp Perry Rifle National Matches Day 2 - Except for those who were attending the Small Arms Firing School, most of us slept in a bit on our first full day at the Camp Perry Rifle National Matches. But after a breakfast buffet near where we were staying, we all headed off for a leisurely day. Read the complete article at http://www.examiner.com/firearms-in-okl ... es-day-2-1.
* Camp Perry Rifle National Matches Day 1 - After shooting the Milan, IL. Leg match, Dan and I continued our trip to the National Matches at Camp Perry, OH. and spent the night in Elkhart, IN. Now, if you would have asked me if I'd ever stopped in Elkhart before I would have said no, but as soon as we exited the turnpike I remembered having been there. Sometimes it seems like I must have made every possible stop along the route. We asked the toll gate attendant where we could get a good meal and wound up eating dinner and breakfast at a great place called Callahans.
