The results are in for the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) rifle and pistol League Matches! A total of 15 clubs participated in 2023, with 178 participants overall.
The CMP’s League Matches were introduced in early 2022, featuring Pistol, Highpower Rifle and CMP Games Rifle events. The League is perfect for those hoping to begin or keep up with CMP marksmanship competition throughout the year, without having to travel. It’s also a great way for clubs and ranges to expand their offerings to interested individuals.
Participants competed by firing at a host range, with scores submitted and averaged within CMP’s online Competition Tracker system. Awards are distributed to the top competitors from around the country. To qualify, competitors are required to fire at least three times over the course of the League, with average scores used to determine places first through third.
The Outdoor Pistol League Matches ran from May 1 to Oct. 31, 2023, and included 900 Pistol Aggregate matches and 30 Shot National Match Course (NMC) events.
