Camp Perry Marksmanship Center Fall Open House and Turkey Shoot - You Are Invited to Come to Camp Perry on Saturday, 19 September, between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM - The Ohio Army National Guard (OHNG), the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources are combining forces to host a Fall Open House and Turkey Shoot at the new Camp Perry Marksmanship Center on Saturday, 19 September. Doors will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; come and participate any time during those hours. The event is open to the public; everyone who lives within daytrip distance of Camp Perry is encouraged to travel to Camp Perry to participate in a fun shoot on the center’s electronic targets and have a chance to win a turkey, to actually shoot on the National Guard’s engagement skills trainer and to visit the CMP Store. Safety and marksmanship instruction will be provided for all who participate. The day will be highlighted by the dedication of the Marksmanship Center’s recently completed 90-foot long mural.
Three CMP Master Instructor Training Courses to train and certify As-Issued Military Rifle (GSM/Garand-Springfield-Military Rifle) and Rimfire Sporter Master Instructors to teach rifle clinics at their home ranges and clubs are currently open for registration. Courses will be conducted on 26-27 September, at the CMP Competition Center in Anniston, Alabama; on 16-17 October at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility north of Phoenix, AZ; and on 23-24 January, at Camp Perry, Ohio. The primary objective of Master Instructor training and certification is to develop qualified instructors to conduct rifle clinics at their local clubs and ranges in order to bring more new shooters into the shooting sports. These workshops are open to all experienced rifle marksmanship instructors and shooters who want advanced training and certification to teach CMP-sanctioned Garand, Springfield and Vintage Military Rifle or Rimfire Sporter Clinics. The instructional methods taught in this course are also readily adapted to teaching new juniors to shoot with air rifles or rimfire sporters. The training covers clinic organization, how to teach safety and range procedures, how to teach fundamental shooting skills and how to conduct As-Issued Military Rifle and Rimfire Sporter Matches. Every CMP affiliated gun club is encouraged to have at least one club member who has his/her Master Instructor certification. If you are interested in enhancing your skills as a club rifle instructor or in getting started as a clinic instructor, go to the program at http://www.odcmp.com/Competitions/GSMClinic.htm and submit your application. For additional information contact Shannon Hand at shand@odcmp.com or 419-635-2141, ext. 1101. |

Three-Position Air Rifle Rules Update - An updated version of the National Standard Three-Position Air Rifle Rules is now posted on the CMP website at http://www.odcmp.com/3P/Rules.pdf. The revised rules are also available from the CMP in print. The updated rules incorporate changes adopted by the National Three-Position Air Rifle Council when it held its annual meeting at Fort Benning, Georgia this past June. The rulebook (V1) that was released in September 2008 was intended to be a two-year rulebook so most of the changes in the revised rules (V2) are minor and editorial. The revisions, however, were made necessary by recent equipment and technical developments that include a newly approved Sporter Class air rifle and the commercial availability of the Orion Scoring System that uses computer-imaging technology to score paper targets.

This year, CMP Games competitors will also be able to shoot in a Rimfire Sporter Match on Sunday afternoon and a Carbine Match on Monday afternoon. Creedmoor Cup competitors can attend a free highpower rifle clinic on Wednesday, 21 October, and then shoot on successive days, a practice match, a NMC team match, the 80-shot Creedmoor Cup Match and finally a Service Rifle EIC Match.
