Jonathan Shue, 43, of Liberty, N.C., managed to claim an overall win in the 2024 GSSF GLOCK National Challenge Stock category, though not by much, at the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s National Matches.
The 2024 GSSF GLOCK National Challenge included four categories, based on the type of pistol: Stock, Unlimited, Rimfire and MOS (Modular Optic System). The event was open to adults and juniors of any skill level. The event drew more than 200 entries throughout the July 20 day.

SSG Shane Butler, 33, of Fortson, Ga., squeezed out the overall win in the National Trophy Individual (NTI) Match at the 2024 National Trophy Rifle Matches when he reached a score of 497-31X, just one point above the second place competitor.
Butler arrived at the National Matches, conducted annually by the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP), humbly – without any particular ambitions other than remaining diligent to his craft.

SSG David Bahten of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit (USAMU) was getting used to being runner-up.
Bahten has racked up several second place finishes – earning the position multiple times at the annual Inter-Service Rifle Championships, National Rifle Association (NRA) Nationals and the prestigious National Trophy Individual Match held during the National Matches at Camp Perry in Ohio.

At the 2024 National Trophy Pistol Matches, John Bickar, 47, of Menlo Park, Calif., became only the third competitor in history to earn back-to-back wins in the President’s Pistol Match.
The event, a staple at the century-old National Matches since 1981, was facilitated by the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) and saw a total of 414 competitors on the historic ranges of Camp Perry in Ohio. Bickar fired an overall score of 384-17X over the day – just one point above the second and third place finishers.

Olympian and member of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit (USAMU), Sgt. Alison Weisz, 29, had a powerful showing at the 2024 National Smallbore and Air Rifle Championships, part of the annual National Matches schedule, claiming overall wins in both the three-position smallbore and 60-shot air rifle competitions offered during the phase.
