Celebrating its 17th year as a non-profit  organization, the CMP has prepared an ever-growing number of shooters with  firearm safety and marksmanship skills. Because of the success of its programs  and sales, other organizations have decided to join CMP in its efforts by  creating their own hometown clubs – some having been affiliated with CMP for  over a decade. 
               
				
				  
               Because of their loyalty, the CMP recognizes these clubs  with special “10 Year Club” banners to display at their club homes. Years of  affiliation do not need to be consecutive for clubs to be considered.
				  
               Last year, over 600 clubs were recognized for their  continued affiliation. CMP staff members are currently in the process of  determining and processing even more qualified clubs. Currently, 113 new  banners have already been delivered, with more to be sent by the end of the  year.  View the list of new 10-year CMP  Affiliated Clubs,

               “The CMP affiliated clubs are the most important lifeline  CMP has for reaching the young shooters in the U.S.A.,” said Orest Michaels,  COO of the Civilian Marksmanship Program.
