CMP Creates Summer CMP Home Range Appreciation Series of Events for Adult and Junior Competitors
By Ashley Brugnone, CMP Writer
The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) has prepared a solution to allow everyone to keep shooting and compete with one another during the summer months – right from the comfort of everyone’s local range!
The CMP Home Range Appreciation Series is a collection of rifle, pistol, CMP Games, smallbore and air rifle competitions (open to both adult and junior athletes) which will be fired in local club matches and once scorecards are submitted the scores will be compared against overall scores from around the nation and prizes will be announced and awarded.
All matches must adhere to social distancing rules and obey CDC and local/federal government guidelines for group settings while also complying with standard range safety practices. Although we are eager for our competitors to return to the ranges, demonstrating mutual respect and safeguarding the welfare of everyone remains the highest priority at all of our events.
The CMP Home Range Appreciation Series is comprised of the following matches:
CMP Affiliated Clubs in good standing can sanction Home Range Appreciation Series events by filling out a match application at https://thecmp.org/competitions/home-range-appreciation-series/. All competitors firing in the CMP Home Range Appreciation Series will receive one special t-shirt and one commemorative coin to be mailed out after the event is complete (only one of each per competitor, regardless of the number of events entered).
All matches MUST be fired by Sept. 8, 2020, and results must be received by Sept. 14 to qualify. Late results will not be accepted. Results will be final on Oct. 1, 2020. All scores from this competition will be available for viewing on the CMP Club and Competition Tracker at https://ct.thecmp.org/homerangeResults.
For participating clubs, the CMP will supply specially designated scorecards, match report forms and return envelopes (if applicable for the match). Detailed instructions on submitting scores back to CMP Headquarters at Camp Perry will be emailed to match contacts, after matches are approved. We also ask that all clubs submit photos of their events to the CMP.
To recognize outstanding competitors, several awards will be distributed at the conclusion of the series, including:

Though we remain apart, we hope that you will join us in this opportunity to return to what we enjoy most in the world of competitive marksmanship – excitement, fun and friendly competition. We remind everyone to stay safe and healthy while competing, and we look forward to seeing the many excellent scores that will find their way back to Camp Perry in the coming months.
Good luck, and good shooting!
