Dear
Junior Highpower
Competitors and Coaches:
In an effort to promote interest, education, and competition to the
sport of Highpower Rifle Shooting among
Junior shooters, a group of Junior coaches and Military coaches have
come together to organize the 2009 Eastern United States
Junior Highpower Clinic and Championship.
Our objective is to bring together new and experienced Junior
shooters from the Eastern United States for a week of clinic
instruction and match experience.
Experienced coaches and instructors from the United States Marine
Corps Rifle Team and military personnel will be conducting clinics for both new and experienced junior
shooters. Instruction in both shooting individual matches and
shooting as a member of a coached team will also be provided. This
week long program is offered to provide junior shooters an
opportunity to expand their current level of knowledge, experience
and expertise. It is also an opportunity for junior shooters to come
together to experience the each other’s company and to form bonds of
friendship and camaraderie within the sport.
We would encourage your participation in this event and would
appreciate if you could pass on this information to any other junior
coaches, directors, club leaders or others interested in the sport
of Highpower shooting.
Please find attached the schedule of events with
general information, match programs and registration information.
Thank you,
Brad Palmer – Connecticut Junior Coach
Bob Hughes - North Carolina Junior Coach
US Marine Corps Rifle Team |

RANGE AND TARGET
OPERATION.
All matches will be fired on Camp Butner’s Range
#4. The targets at Camp Butner are electronically controlled in the pits. Competitors will be expected to pull targets and score as part of their responsibilities. It is the responsibility of every shooter to be in the pits when it is their turn to pull targets. No target pullers will be provided. It is also every competitor’s responsibility to score when their relays are assigned to score.
MATCH
RESULTS. During the Eastern
U.S. Junior Highpower Clinic and Championship Matches, all competitor scorecards will be inputted into the CMP’s Competition Tracker system as soon as they are received and verified. The CMP results system uses the Internet to keep persons interested in the matches who are not at Camp Butner informed regarding up-to-the minute match results. Anyone who wants to know results for any current competition conducted by the CMP can find them through the CMP web site at
http://clubs.odcmp.com/results.
