The U. S. Army Service Rifle Team and the CMP have teamed up to provide our First Shot readers with an opportunity to submit their questions on highpower/service rifle shooting and get answers from some of the greatest shooters and coaches in the country.  If you have questions about highpower rifle shooting techniques or equipment, send them to USAMU@odcmp.com and a USAMU shooter or coach will answer it here.  Click a topic on the list below to view questions that have been answered by the USAMU shooters and coaches.  

USAMU shooters and coaches also have agreed to provide periodic articles on highpower and service rifle shooting that the CMP will post, together with selected questions and answers, in the CMP’s on-line magazine, The First Shot.  You can subscribe to receive CMP Shooter's News email updates by submitting your information at http://clubs.odcmp.com/subscribe.  The submitted articles are listed below:
