My (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) has been updated to include those who fired in the competitions between the Rifle Volunteers of Great Britain and the National Guard of the United States of America. These events were held at Creedmoor (USA) in 1882 and Wimbledon (England) in 1883.

This supplements the winners of the Queen's Prize Gold Medal (1860-1900) already included. I'm currently working my way through the international matches held at Creedmoor, Dollymount and Wimbledon. I have many sources of information... just takes time working through it all and collating!

Hopefully it is of some interest. The firearms and gunmakers of the 19th Century are often the feature of study, but today the riflemen are for the most part forgotten.
