The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) promotes firearms safety training and rifle
practice for all qualified U.S. citizens with special emphasis on youth.
PCSI usually holds multiple CMP high power matches / clinics. These matches / clinics are
perfect for the beginner interested in High Power shooting, but also offer experienced shooters
an organized shoot for practice. As with all of the matches at PCSI, membership in PCSI is NOT
required to participate.
The costs are: Members: $10.00 Non-Members: $15.00 Juniors (under 18) are FREE
If you use our rifles (shooting club ammunition is required) or would like to shoot CMP
ammunition, there is an additional cost of $40.00
You may shoot any United States Military standard issue rifle or civilian equivalent (Krag to AR-
15). You will need 60 rounds of ammunition for the match.
If you have never shot in a PCSI CMP match, you will need to arrive at 9:00 A.M. for the safety
briefing and instruction. Since our shoots are geared to beginners and novices: course of fire,
M1 Garand/AR15 operation, scoring, firing positions, paperwork, and sling usage are discussed.
If you have participated previously, you will need to arrive at 9:30 A.M. for sign up and position
assignments. The first shots go down range at 10:00 A.M.
New shooters are paired with experienced shooters for the match and get some one-on-one
instruction during the match.
What do you need to participate?
At the minimum: $50.00 (as a member and using a club loaner rifle [M1 Garand or
AR15]), liability form, ear protection and eye protection. Other items that can make life easier:
spotting scope, shooting mat or pad, snacks, beverages, sunscreen, sweatshirt/shooting
jacket/shooting shirt.
NOTE: Junior shooters under 18 MUST have attended a PCSI Junior clinic to participate.
At the completion of the Match/Clinic you will receive a certificate documenting your
participation. This certificate qualifies for documentation to purchase firearms, ammo, and
parts from the Civilian Marksmanship Program. Please see: http://www.odcmp.org
