Time flies, and the close of 2022 draws near. The covers of Shooting Sports USA reflect the past year of competitive shooting, chiefly another successful summer for the NRA National Matches at Camp Atterbury and USA Shooting athletes capturing many podium finishes on the international stage, but also match reports from the NCAA rifle national championship, a behind-the-scenes look at Remington’s ammunition plant in Lonoke, Ark., and an in-depth examination of Tactical Games competition, among many other features. Plus, Indiana First Lady Janet Holcomb landed her second consecutive cover, and 12-time NPSC champion Robert Vadasz fronted our November cover, in which he shared stories and photos about his first match with the new U.S. Customs and Border Protection Marksmanship Unit. And who better to end the year than iconic six-time Olympic medalist and NRA Director Kim Rhode?
See all these and more below in our recap of the 2022 Shooting Sports USA covers.
