Pano of the firing line at the Western Games Matches
The 2023 Western CMP Games, Pistol and HP Matches were held in Phoenix in March.

Over 200 individuals attended the matches, held at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Arizona, March 10-19. The recreational marksmanship event was comprised of vintage and modern rifle competitions, like the CMP Highpower (HP) matches and the CMP Games matches, along with a variety of pistol events.

Rifle events at Western Games, including the new Mid-Range 3×600 Match, were fired on CMP’s outdoor electronic target line.

The latest match installment, the Mid-Range 3×600, offered Match Rifle, Service Rifle, F-Open, F T/R or AR Tactical Rifle classes. Overtaking the Service Rifle portion was Steve Collins, 65, of Phoenix, AZ, with a score of 578-22X, as Ron Wood, 69, of Phoenix, AZ, claimed the F-Open category with 560-9X.

Also new at Western Games in 2023 was the Service Revolver EIC Pistol Match. Leading the event was CDR Steve Killingsworth, 69, of Fountain Hills, AZ, with a score of 338-4X.
