I had no idea...Heart Breaking.

Sad news right there.

 

[Nimrod]

Terrible news, sadly, I never got to meet Mark though we lived pretty close to each other.

 

[KYODE]

Really sad.
In a way nice to die doing what you love, but also without your family possibly.

 

[Ricky C]

Prayers out to his family.

I met Mark and Karen for the first-time last July at the 2023 Adam Bender Memorial Shoot in Ohio. We had spoken on the phone several times previously, but this was the first time we met in person. Mark spoke to me like we were friends for years as we both were owners of Nosler's 48 handguns. I was really looking forward to seeing both him and Karen at this year's shoot, but his untimely passing instead will leave a great void in the handgun community. Rest in peace Mark and prayers for you and your family.

Voted on last night at the HHCF meeting:
HHC 2025 will be…

Mark Allan Hampton's Handgun Hunter's Competition 2025

The HHC logo will be updated to reflect this.

Mark attended all 4 years of HHC and won at least one division a year. He was instrumental in the founding of HHC and the growth that it has had.

Sad! I always enjoyed Mark's writings and his adventures. I also did business with him purchasing some 7 RSAUM brass a few years ago. Upstanding man! Sorry to learn of his passing!

Dang. Mark and I used to communicate back and forth about different hunts many years ago. He and I both had ranches and we used to chat about that. We made threats to hunt together, but never actually made it happen.

He was always a class act. I always enjoyed talking with him.

Mark was a class act for sure. I met him while we both served in the in MO House of Representatives. His handguns nailed prairie dogs like good rifles do for most. Definitely left his mark and will be missed.
