One of the most popular CMP youth marksmanship clinics
during the National Matches is the CMP-USMC Highpower Rifle Clinic.
Many juniors participate in highpower service rifle shooting,
usually as members of state association junior highpower teams. This clinic is offered at Camp Perry, Ohio just prior to the
National Trophy Rifle Matches.
Participants
must have some previous highpower rifle competition experience. The CMP organizes the clinic and members of the U. S. Marine Corps
Rifle Team provide instruction. The
clinic lasts three days and includes both class instruction including
effects of the weather, how to properly use and modify equipment, and the
rulebook requirements for shooting positions. Days two and three are
spent shooting on the range
firing at 200, 300 and 600 yards where juniors fire while being coached by
a Marine Corps Rifle Team shooter.
All students will receive a CMP-USMC Highpower Rifle Clinic T-shirt,
certificate and school handout materials. Bushmaster
Firearms will sponsor a pizza party for clinic participants.
The
2008 CMP-USMC Junior Highpower Clinic will be held on 25 - 27 July. Registration for
the clinic will be held on Friday, 25 July from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. The
clinic starts at 12:00 p.m. on Friday, 25 July. All
junior highpower rifle shooters who wish to attend the CMP-USMC Junior
Highpower Rifle Clinic at the 2008 National Matches must apply and pay a $30.00 clinic fee.
