    Default CMP Service Rifle Clinic 9/15 - Learn how to shoot an AR-15 or M1 Garand!

    If you haven't ever shot a service rifle, or want to learn how to properly shoot from prone, sitting, and offhand (standing), I highly recommend this clinic.

    Woburn Sportsmen's Association
    Civilian Marksmanship Program
    September 15, 2012
    CMP Service Rifle Clinic




    OPEN TO: All shooters 16 years of age or older, JUNIORS ARE ENCOURAGED.

    DATE: Saturday September 15th, 2012

    TIME: The clinic starts at 8:30 AM sharp; please plan to arrive by 8:10 AM. Depending on the class
    size and the weather, the class will end between 3pm and 5pm.

    PLACE: W.S.A. Clubhouse, 155 Middlesex Tpk., Bedford, Mass.

    ENTRIES: Advance registration required. Class limited to 18 entrants. Entry includes full payment
    and completed entry form. See Note below.

    Fee $40.00 (checks payable to Woburn Sportsmen’s Association) INCLUDES AMMO!
    Junior Entry $10.00 (“juniors” are boy and girls 16 - 20 yrs. old)

    FORMAT: The day will be split into a lecture in the morning (covering safety, major components of
    the rifle, sighting, position shooting, competition rules, target handling, equipment, and scoring) and
    familiarization firing – a practice match – at the 200-yard range in the afternoon.

    IMPORTANT: Eye and ear protection is required: bring glasses and hearing protectors. Also, dress
    for the weather! We will be outside for about 4 or 5 hours.

    EQUIPMENT: Rifle and ammo provided. If you have your own AR-15 or M1 Garand or M1A and it’s safe, you may use that in the practice match. If you do, bring your own suitable ammo, about 60
    rounds.

    FOOD: Bring a bag lunch; there will be no lunch break (but you will have time to eat). Coffee and
    donuts will be available. The Club has snack and soda machines. We will have plenty of water at the
    range.

    NOTE: Completion of the clinic satisfies the firing requirement of the Civilian Marksmanship
    Program’s M1 Garand Purchase Program. (Details at the clinic.)

    For more information, call (before 10pm, please) or send e-mail to randyenger@verizon.net.

    For those that have been, is this mostly for someone with no competition experience, or just no high power experience?

    The raison d'être of the CMP is to teach civilians to be better shooters. If the biggest thing you've ever before shot is a .22, that's fine. The recoil of the .223 is very mild. The hands-on instruction will make you a better shooter, even if you don't plan to ever shoot in a competition.

    Either.

    I took it twice some years back and it was awesome. You'll have a blast and it is a true bargain.

    Hi George,
    No, and no. I've been shooting CMP there for 10+ years, and will be coaching at the clinic again if needed. Feel free to PM me if you like.

    My son and I will be signing up.
    Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
