After the busy National Matches this summer, the Monthly Match Air Gun Program is slated to return to CMP’s Competition Centers in Camp Perry, Ohio, and Anniston, Ala., with new fall dates.
The Monthly Matches are open to anyone and offer a variety of events to compete in, including a 3×20 Junior/Adult Precision and Sporter Air Rifle Competition, a beginner 3×10 Air Rifle Competition and 60 Shot Standing Air Rifle and Air Pistol competition.
There are six Monthly Matches during the year. Three dates remain for 2024:
- September 14
- October 12
- November 16
The competitions are held in Ohio and Alabama at the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s state-of- the-art Competition Centers. Each range features 80 electronic targets which offers the chance for CMP to run many of the competitions simultaneously.
The Monthly Match League offers awards and prize money to the top competitors who participate in at least four of the six matches. The lowest two scores are dropped and the top four scores are combined to determine the overall winners. Prize money will depend on the number of entries.
