JMIC Master Instructors who were originally trained in 2005 and whose
certificates expire in 2010. Recent experience in conducting rifle
marksmanship training and organizing a rifle team at a JROTC Unit or

Two New National Trophies
-
Thanks to generous donations from two long-time competitive shooters who are both Distinguished Badge holders and who have been regular National Matches participants, two new trophies were recently added to the CMP’s National Trophy Collection. Both trophies are to be awarded in the National Trophy Pistol Matches and will replace older trophies that the CMP Trophy Committee determined were not of National Trophy quality.
