You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Wimbledon Cup''' is a [[marksmanship]] trophy that was established in the 1870s.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.nra.org/Article.aspx?id=788 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040831054534/http://www.nra.org/Article.aspx?id=788 |archive-date=August 31, 2004 |accessdate=January 16, 2018 |title=Tubb is NRA 2004 Long Range Champion |publisher=National Rifle Association of America))</ref>

It is awarded annually during the [[National Rifle & Pistol Matches]] which are held at [[Camp Perry]], [[Ohio]] and has become the most prestigious prize in US long-range rifle shooting.<ref>((cite web |first1=Paul |last1=Nordquist |title=The Wimbledon Cup |url=https://www.ssusa.org/content/the-wimbledon-cup/ |website=Shooting Sports USA |publisher=National Rifle Association of America |access-date=31 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220831143509/https://www.ssusa.org/content/the-wimbledon-cup/ |archive-date=31 August 2022 |date=24 March 2016))</ref>

Each year the high-power phase of these matches traditionally takes place during the first two weeks of August. The Wimbledon Cup is awarded for the winner of a 1000-yard shooting match &mdash; in which the rules permit use of "any sight", including telescopes.

Concurrent with the Wimbledon, [[High power rifle|service rifle]] shooters compete for the Farr Trophy, and [[International Confederation of Fullbore Rifle Associations|Palma]] rifle shooters vie for the "Doc" Aiken Trophy.

==History==
The Wimbledon Cup is a silver tankard wrought by British silversmiths of the Victorian period.

The British [[National Rifle Association (United Kingdom)|National Rifle Association]] inaugurated the prize in 1866. ''[[The Illustrated London News]]'' reported on July 26, 1866, that the Wimbledon Cup was a new prize for the Wimbledon Rifle Meeting of that year.<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.iln.org.uk/iln_years/year/1866.htm|title=New Prizes at The Wimbledon Volunteer Rifle Meeting|date=July 26, 1866|work=The Illustrated London News))</ref>

In 1875, the trophy was presented to the American rifle team attending the British matches at [[Wimbledon, London|Wimbledon]] by [[Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll|Princess Louise]], on behalf of the riflemen of Great Britain. Members of the American team competed among themselves for the trophy at Wimbledon; this match was won by Major Henry Fulton. The Wimbledon Cup was taken to the United States and placed in annual competition at [[Creedmoor Rifle Range]] as the trophy for a long range match open to any rifle. Michelle Gallagher has won the most cups with five. Her family have won it seven times. Her mother Nancy H. Tompkins-Gallagher won once and her step-father Middleton W. Tompkins won once.<ref>((cite web |title=Wimbledon Cup |url=https://competitions.nra.org/documents/pdf/compete/nat-trophy/tro-105.pdf |website=National Rifle Association of America |publisher=National Rifle Association of America |access-date=31 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220412101107/https://competitions.nra.org/documents/pdf/compete/nat-trophy/tro-105.pdf |archive-date=12 April 2022 |date=2016))</ref>

The 1965 trophy was awarded to [[Carlos Hathcock|CPL Carlos N. Hathcock, USMC]].
