SAFETY

The Civilian Marksmanship Program is dedicated to the respect for and safe handling of firearms, instilling patriotism and discipline in our youth participants.  The CMP provides its constituents with the highest level of instruction in the proper control of firearms by highly-skilled coaches and veteran range safety officers in the classroom, at our ranges and wherever the CMP banner is displayed. 

Upcoming CMP Events:

Tuesday & Thursday Night Open Public Shooting
CMP Marksmanship Centers,
Port Clinton, OH
Anniston, AL

Shooters, including aspiring new shooters are invited to take advantage of a new opportunity to do practice shooting.  Both ranges consist of 80-point, 10-meter air gun range and are fully equipped with electronic targets that accommodate air rifle, air pistol or National Match Air Rifle shooting.  Instruction and equipment are also available.  Visit http://www.TheCMP.org/3P/
MarksmanshipCenters.htm  for additional information.

CMP Announces Rulebook Changes for 2014-2015

By Ashley Brugnone, CMP Writer/Editor


The CMP Rules Committee has approved the 2014-2015 18th Edition of the CMP Competition Rules for Service Rifle and Service Pistol and the 2014 2nd Edition CMP Rules for CMP Games Rifle and Pistol Matches. This is the earliest the CMP has released a new version of the Rulebooks, which previously were released in March or April.  In another major change, the CMP Rimfire Sporter Rules, which were previously in a separate rulebook, are now included in the CMP Games Rules.

The CMP will continue to use two separate Rulebooks: one for Service Rifle and Service Pistol Rules and one for CMP Games Rules.  This is a change the CMP adopted in 2013 to eliminate the confusion that sometimes occurred between Service Rifle and Service Pistol Rules and the unique rules for CMP Games events.

Unlike previous years, the Service Rifle and Service Pistol Rulebook will be in effect for 2 years (2014-2015), since the rules have remained essentially unchanged over the past few years. Changes to this Rulebook include:

·        Page 25 – CMP Protest Committees will be appointed by the CMP Chief Operating Officer (Rule 5.12.3 and 5.12.4).

·        Page 66 - The rules for awarding Credit Points for Paralympic Games and IPC Championships are updated (Rule 9.3.7).
  
The CMP Games Rulebook will continue to be a one-year Rulebook. New to the 2014 Edition, all rules specific to particular CMP Games events have been arranged and organized into sections devoted to those specific events. Also, the Rulebook now includes the CMP Rimfire Sporter Rifle Match Rules (Rule 8.0). Additional changes include:

·        Page 11 – New Open Individual Category (OIC) (Rule 2.7.4), for competitors who do not comply with eligibility, equipment or firing position rules.

·        Page 19 –Early or Late Shots (Rule 3.7.3), that determines consequences for shooters firing before or after LOAD, COMMENCE FIRING or CEASE FIRING commands, respectively.

·         Page 36 – Weight for U.S. Modern Sporting Rifles, Class A, may  
          not exceed 7.75 lbs. (Rule 5.2.3).

·        Page 48 – Sandbag rest regulations were added to the Rulebook (Rule 6.4.3).  The CMP or match sponsor will issue sandbags.  No competitor-supplied sandbags will be permitted.

Page 62 – Early or Late Shots rule is updated (Rule 8.4.8) for Rimfire Sporter Matches.

Page 95 – 2014 CMP Achievement Scores (Annex G) for awarding achievement medals or pins in CMP Games Matches are updated.  New Achievement Scores are provided for the Modern Military Rifle, As-Issued M1911 Pistol and Military & Police Pistol Matches.
