Prestigious President’s Match Sees Unprecedented Ending During 2025 National Trophy Rifle Matches
It’s a competition steeped in history – a staple at the century-old National Matches that attracts some of the best marksmen and women to the grounds of Camp Perry each year, all hoping to earn the prestigious President’s Rifle Trophy that has been awarded since 1894.
The match has become more of a spectacle in recent decades with the addition of a 10-shot shoot-off for the top 20 competitors.
Always meant to gather a crowd of observers to cheer on their peers, the 2025 event was even more spectator-friendly with the inclusion of the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) line of outdoor electronic targets and a large jumbotron screen placed on the firing line – instantly displaying each individual’s shots in real time.
