About the Big Horn Armory:
Big Horn Armory was founded in 2008 with the express intention of designing a Browning-type lever action weapon chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. Big Horn Armory’s American-made Model 89 closely follows the work of John Browning with refinements courtesy of modern metalworking and machining capabilities. The first rifles began shipping in September 2012, and since then, BHA has added to its large-bore lineup a Model 90 Carbine in 460 S&W, Model 90A in 454 Casull, Model 90B in .45 Colt, Model 89A in 500 Linebaugh and the Model 89B in .475 Linebaugh.

During that same time, hunters from hungry organizations across the United States have collectively provided 10 times that amount or more – meat for hundreds of millions of meals!
“Throughout history, hunters have provided food for their families and communities, and their generosity is still needed and appreciated today,” said Josh Wilson, CEO of Farmers & Hunters Feeding the Hungry. “And in the Bible we see over and over again that God has great compassion for the poor and the needy. We are grateful for this opportunity He has provided to help hunters bless their hungry neighbors.”

“The Hunter Leadership Forum welcomes the opportunity to partner with organizations like Farmers & Hunters Feeding the Hungry to help solve America’s hunger problem,” said Peter Churchbourne of the NRA Hunter Leadership Forum. “We encourage the donation of game meat to help with this effort and advocate sharing the important role hunters play in solving the food security equation. We look forward to building future campaigns that will add much-needed value, funding and awareness to this extremely important effort.”

Three Position Air Rifle (3PAR) shooting is the most popular youth rifle program in the US. Its massive participation base includes more than 2,000 JROTC high school programs, hundreds of shooting sports clubs, 4 -H and several hundred youth rifle clubs. An estimated 250,000 to 300,000 young Americans participate in three-position air rifle marksmanship programs annually, with most also participating in some form of competitive shooting. The main governing body for this important youth sports program is the National Three Position Air Rifle Council. The Council governs the conduct of Three Position Air Rifle competitions through its rule book, the Standard National Standards for Three Position Air Rifles.
the national standard rules they are revised and republished semi-annually. The latest version of the Rules, 14the Edition 2022-2024, has just been released. An electronic version of the new rulebook is posted on the CMP website at http://thecmp.org/air/national-standard-three-position-air-rifle-rules/. Printed copies will be available in a few weeks.
The CMP provides staff support for the National Council’s youth air rifle programs. Vicki Donoho is the Program Coordinator and serves as Secretary to the Council. You can reach her at 419-635-2141, ext. 702, or by email at [email protected].
Download your copy of the new Three Position Air Rifle Rules from the CMP website.
Rule changes begin with questions and recommendations received at CMP Headquarters or received from participants in 3PAR Championships. Previous Regulation 2020-2022 was released in the fall of 2020, but a August 2021 update to these standards was issued. Feedback received during this rule cycle focused on refining existing rules. There have been no calls for major rule changes. After evaluating all comments, a new draft of the rules was prepared and distributed to Council members for their review and comment. Council members approved the publication of the new rule book.
A summary of the rule changes in this 14the 2022-2024 Edition National Standard Rules follow. Rule numbers are listed in the summary to help locate them.
Rule 3.4.3. Age Group Categories. This change defines the three age groups by dates of birth instead of by year of birth. This brings the age group definitions in line with the age group definitions now used in the ISSF, USAS and other CMP rule books.
Rule 4.2.1. Homologated Sporter air rifles. The new Crosman CH2021 is listed as a new approved Sporter Class air rifle, even though it was provisionally approved in the August 2021 update.

USA, on your knees-face down. A statement of intent at the end of Rule 5.3.3 explains that the ISSF position order, which is now the international standard, could be adopted as the standard position order in the future if match sponsors and athletes and coaches from 3PAR have good experiences with it. .
Rule 5.3.4. Air Rifle Standing Event. The 40-shot stand-up event was dropped because all junior men’s and women’s air rifle stand-up events are now 60-shot events.

New developments in three position air rifle. The launch of this new 14the The issue of the Three Position Air Rifle Official Rulebook is also an appropriate time to share information about how this popular youth shooting discipline is changing. What are the current and future developments:
The MCJROTC rifle team from Nation Ford High School of Fort Mill, South Carolina, won the three-position air rifle national championship titles at the 2022 CMP National Youth Olympic and National Championships.
One aspect of three-position air rifle shooting has not changed. The original goal of the 3PAR Sporter Class was to bring rifle marksmanship competition to as many schools, youth clubs, and individuals as possible by providing a competition class in which no expensive equipment is required (no shooting jackets, etc.) and Airgun costs are limited (the current maximum is $650). Crosman, Daisy and Champions Choice (Air Arms) have cooperated with the Council to keep the costs of Sporter air rifles within this limit. One major advance has been the replacement of thousands of the original pneumatic pump air rifles that were so effective in starting this program with Sporter Class air rifles. The new 2021 Crosman CH is the latest example of this change.
Visual Image Scoring (VIS, Orion) has revolutionized the way 3PAR targets are scored. The Council/CMP has sanctioned 233 parties so far in 2022; 151 of those matches were scored with Orion, 82 were on electronic dartboards, and only one was scored manually (with scoreboards and meters). Marking targets by hand is a thing of the past.
The new Crosman CH2021 air rifle is recognized as a Sporter Class approved air rifle in the latest national standard regulations. Several of these new rifles were up for grabs in the 2022 national championship competitions.
Electronic targets are being installed in more and more 3PAR ranges and are making 3PAR competitions more exciting for the participants. They are also making shooting a true spectator sport. All 3PAR National Championships are now held on electronic targets at fields at Camp Perry, Anniston, CMP Mobile Range, the Olympic Training Center, or Fort Benning. Until two years ago, when the affordable Athena electronic targets were introduced, only a few youth air rifle programs had electronic targets. Designed and manufactured in America, Athena targets have already made the benefits of electronic targets available to 250 10-meter ranges throughout the US Electronic targets with their instantaneous and accurate display of scores and rankings are the future of junior target shooting.
The Texas Hill Country Shooting Team won the 2022 CMP Three Position Air Rifle National and Youth Olympic National Championships by setting new national records in each competition.
The rapidly expanding availability of electronic dartboards also means that more 3PAR individual competitions are now being decided in exciting finals from the ground up. The CMP used three-position finishes starting from scratch to decide individual awards in the 2022 Junior Olympic and CMP National Three-Position Air Rifle Championships. The responses from athletes, coaches, parents, and spectators were overwhelmingly positive.
One of the National Council’s most popular programs is the awarding of Distinguished Junior Badges. New recipients of the Distinguished Badge have their badges “put on” and are congratulated during National Championship award ceremonies.
The changes that are taking place in youth shooting with a 3-position air rifle are especially important in a sport that attracts young people. Using technology, doing more to make shooting a spectator sport, and staying abreast of the changes that are occurring in the sport around the world are all part of keeping this popular youth sport discipline growing and responding to the interests of today’s youth. .

Holosun’s newest SCS (Solar Charge Sight), the SCS-MP2-GR, was designed to fit the full-size, compact, 9mm .40 S&W Smith & Wesson® M&P-M2.0™ pistols ( does not fit 1.0 or Shield™ models) . It’s designed to attach directly to the slide without an adapter plate and uses our innovative solar charging system with multi-directional light sensors to automatically adjust brightness in dynamic situations.
The SCS-MP2 features our Multi Reticle System (MRS) displaying a 32 MOA circle or 2 MOA dot or both and is available in a green (540nm) color option only. For better zeroing, a 30+/- MOA travel adjustment with a 1 MOA click adjustment can be set by adjusting the windage and elevation on the top and side of the optical housing. Regardless of reticle choice, automatic ambient lighting reticle intensity is incorporated. The SCS-MP2 is parallax free with unlimited eye relief for the best possible target acquisition.
Having a large optical window is important and never more so than on a pistol reflex optic. Built into the 1.93×1.03×0.91 shell is a 0.77×0.58 window. This is a huge window-to-shell ratio and has helped keep the weight down to 1.3 oz. The window has been coated with various filters and anti-reflective properties to ensure visual acuity. This helps reduce glare, limit streaking, and improve optical quality when acquiring a lens.
The SCS can potentially run indefinitely using a 20,000 hour internal rechargeable power reserve, which means that even under moderate exposure to bright light, you’ll never need to change batteries again. The SCS also includes a dim override feature that locks the optics in a high brightness mode for 30 minutes and a low power indicator, which will indicate if charging is needed at system startup. From safety to range to weapon range, the SCS-MP2 can handle it all.
Holosun offers a lifetime warranty on the SCS-MP2.

DSC is proud to announce Richard Childress as the recipient of the 2023 Peter Hathaway Capstick Hunting Heritage Award. A NASCAR Hall of Famer, Childress is a businessman, philanthropist, and conservationist.
The Capstick Award commemorates the values of a great man whose love of hunting and respect for wildlife fueled a legacy that ensured the conservation of our wildlife and natural resources. In honor of Peter H. Capstick, award recipients have demonstrated their support and long-term commitment to our hunting legacy in a variety of ways, including education, humanitarian causes, hunting participation, and donations.
Richard Childress is certainly a conservationist honoring that memory. As President and CEO of Richard Childress Racing, he leads one of NASCAR’s most storied teams, but Childress is as much about giving back to wildlife, hunting and fishing as he is about being a successful businessman.
As vice chair of the board of directors of the Congressional Sportsman’s Foundation, Childress brings the same level of enthusiasm and dedication that he brings to racing to secure the rights of hunters and fishermen. Her work with groups like the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the North Carolina Wildlife Habitat Foundation, among many others, underscores her dedication to conserving wildlife in the wild.
Childress is president and CEO of Richard Childress Racing (RCR), a 17-championship winning organization. Childress, an independent driver who started out in 1969, stepped up from the seat in the 1981 season and handed over driving duties to the late Dale Earnhardt. Together they made NASCAR history, winning 67 races, six Cup championships and, along the way, establishing RCR as one of the premier teams in all of motorsports. Childress is also the owner of Childress Vineyards in Lexington, NC, as well as the Yadkin River Angus Cattle Ranch.
Childress enjoys spending his free time outdoors and has been an avid hunter and fisherman since he was a child. Having traveled to many parts of the world, he became an activist for the conservation of our natural resources. He is proud to support many conservation organizations, including serving on various boards. During the NASCAR off-season, Childress can be found hunting at his home in Montana or fishing at his Hampton Estate in Lexington, North Carolina.
