Regarding the latest update, outstanding work again by the whole CMP crew! New or improved programs, expanded scholarships, new or improved facilities, new rifle and accessory offerings and the super relationships CMP has developed with the ONG and NRA leadership are shining examples of what can be done when one's heart is in the program. You all should be justifiably proud of how the program has progressed into its second century. Somewhere President Teddy Roosevelt has a big grin and is saying a hearty Bully for the CMP!

I have truly enjoyed your Shooting Tips site. Even as a 25 yr veteran police sniper/high power shooter,I still find interesting,and useful tips from the successful younger folks coming up through the military,and law enforcement. Keep up the good work!

Wow! Please forward my thanks to everyone responsible for all the improvements I just read about at Camp Perry. Recent years have included quite a few impressive improvements and it looks like there are more this year. The Air Gun range, bath house at RV Park, Bataan Armory remodel, etc are all great. Just letting you know how much we (competitors) appreciate all the work.
Sincerely...

CMP Shooters' News is one of my favorite email news publications. Information packed, talented authors, timely subjects, and all around well done. What a great service you are providing to the shooting community. Just wanted to say thanks and Merry Christmas.

One of the members at Snipers Hide pointed out the newsletter and the High Power Tips articles by the USAMU team.
Darn you! I was up until 1:00 AM last night reading all of the articles. Great newsletter and really great USAMU articles.
Thanks,
Michael E.
Great article written on physical conditioning in the latest TFS. I was one of likely many who had asked about the type of conditioning recommended for serious shooters. Sgt. Craig did a great job on describing the routines. Now it’s my turn to put it to work.
Thanks to you, Sgt. Craig and other contributors who share best practices of shooting excellence.
Sincerely,
Keith H.
I use these articles in our high power clinics and have found them very helpful for both new shooters and reinforcement of the basics for the more experienced.
Thanks, Gary M.
Thanks for the great articles on the Carbine, Springfield, Garand matches. All the articles are interesting, but the Carbine, Springfield & Garand are my favorites.

The September-07 on line shooting tips by SSG Tobie Tomlinson, USAMU Service Rifle Team Member, is a great article. I have reproduced 15 copies of it to hand out and discuss to our “newbie” first year air rifle shooters on our high school JROTC Air Rifle Team. Come to think about it believe I’ll hand out a copy to my advance shooters as well. His explanations are simple to understand but rich in detail. Coupled with the sight pictures this article will go a long way towards helping all our JROTC shooters obtain better sight patterns. Keep up the great work. AND…..keep the articles like this coming.

2009 CMP Three-Position Air Rifle Summer Camp Registration Opens
|
|
As the holiday break ends and schools start back across the country, it is already time for students to begin planning how they want to spend their summer vacation. For air rifle shooters we hope that one of the events that will be marked on their new 2009 calendars will be a CMP Three-Position Air Rifle Summer Camp. To help make this planning easier, the 2009 schedule has already been posted online, and registration forms will begin being accepted on 19 January.

The CMP Summer Camps feature instruction from top NCAA collegiate shooters and continue to be the premier camps for junior air rifle shooters.
|
The Three-Position Air Rifle Summer Camps are considered the premier camps for juniors who want to improve in marksmanship competition. This is the only rifle camp program available to junior shooters that is conducted by active collegiate shooters from some of the top NCAA Rifle programs in the country. Leading the camps this year will be Sommer Wood, who will serve as Camp Director and chief instructor. Wood is a five-year veteran of the CMP Summer Camp Program, and is the CMP’s Manager of Junior Programs. She is also a graduate of Clemson University where she competed on the Clemson Air Rifle Team. CMP camp veterans Katie Harrington and Keegan Singleton will assist Wood. Harrington is entering her fifth year with the camps, where she has served as a camp counselor. She was a four-year member of the University of Nebraska Rifle Team, and will graduate with a degree in Education in May. Singleton is entering his third-year with the camp program, and served as the camp gunsmith in 2008. He is currently a member of the University of Memphis Rifle Team. In addition the camps will be visited each week by guest speakers who have Olympic and National Team backgrounds, these guest will speak to the campers about their personal experiences and the qualities that make a champion.

Three out of the five camp locations will feature state-of-the-art electronic target systems as shown in the picture above.

Some new locations have been added to the camp schedule including camps in Alabama, Missouri and Oregon. Fort Benning, Georgia will again be on the 2009 schedule along with the CMP-North Competition Center at Camp Perry, OH. Both of these camp locations, along with the camp at the CMP-South Competition Center in Anniston, AL will offer state-of-the-art electronic target systems. The camps also make a return visit to Albuquerque, NM for the first time since 2005. In all there will be seven full-length camps and one advanced camp that will focus on the standing position. The Standing Position Camp was a new addition to the program in 2007; it is an intense three-day program geared for advanced athletes. Because the Standing Camp program builds on information taught in the Three-Position Camps, it is required that interested athletes attend a full-length CMP camp prior to entering the advanced camp.
A complete Camp Program and schedule is posted online at
http://www.odcmp.com/Programs/camp.htm, or you can click on the Summer Camp link that is located on the CMP home page at
www.odcmp.com. Camp dates were posted on 5 January, but registration will not open until 19 January. Early forms will not be accepted. You can download registration and medical release forms now so that they are ready to submit once registration opens. Some camps tend to fill-up quickly so early registration is recommended. Please include deposits and all required forms when sending in registrations. If you have further questions about the camps please refer to the Camp Program online.
