staff and participation numbers. In all, 586 people attended
the popular summer program, up from 515 in 2009 and 472 in
2008. Part of this growth was made possible by an increase in
staff size from 10 counselors to 12, and the implementation of a
more streamlined curriculum that debuted in 2010. |

Competitors Showcase Historic Rifles While Having Fun Participating
in the 2010 CMP Games Matches
 The CMP Games events have become a staple at the conclusion of the National Trophy Rifle Matches. The Games are a unique opportunity for competitors, collectors and history enthusiasts to showcase rifles that played pivotal roles in American history.
At the CMP Games Matches, it is not glory that people are seeking on the range, but rather a chance to shoot the same rifle that their father, or grandfather carried in WWII, the Korean War and other conflicts. Of course medals are awarded and winners recognized, but the ultimate goal of the CMP Games is fun and friendly competition.
