Civilian Marksmanship Program
Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) promotes firearms
safety training and rifle practice for all qualified U.S.
citizens with special emphasis on youth.
The CMP operates through a network of affiliated shooting clubs
and associations that covers every state in the US. The
clubs and associations offer firearms safety training and
marksmanship courses.
The Old Fort Gun Club holds CMP matches the third Saturday of
every month (from February through November) at 9:00 A.M.
Signups and sight-ins begin at 8:00 A.M.
Matches consists of four courses of fire, beginning with 10 rounds
(slow fire) from a standing position at 200 yards, then
kneeling or sitting (rapid fire) 10 rounds with a magazine
change also from 200 yards. This is followed by 10 rounds
from 300 yards, rapid fire, from a prone position.
Finally, from a prone position (actual 300 yards from
target) a simulated 600 yard slow fire in which 20 minutes
is allowed to fire 20 rounds.
Military rifles are preferred because high-powered rifles of the
sporting type tend to overheat with this many rounds fired
in a short span of time (approximately 2 or 2.5 hours).
No optics of magnifying power are allowed on the rifle.
For full CMP rules on options allowed for service rifles,
etc. see the national website at
www.odcmp.com.
The club owns two bushmaster rifles in .223 for use by those who
have none of their own.
Please come out and try it, we believe you will have lot of fun.
