Went to a friend's range today and participated in my first CMP shoot. 60 rounds at 100 meters; 20 rounds each standing (no sling, one round at a time), 20 sitting (clips and slings allowed), and 20 prone (clips and slings allowed). Mats and scopes were provided. I'd never shot sitting or prone before. Of the 10 of us on the first firing line, there were five Garands, three AR15s, and two Mausers; I had my bolt MM 1916 V. Chr. Schilling 98M with a 22# Wolff spring and '53 Yugo surplus, and my friend had a bolt MM Turked 1890 Steyr Commission 88 with hand loads.
Targets are standing, sitting, and prone from left to right. I scored 148/200 with one miss standing, 122/200 with three misses sitting (very uncomfortable; I'm a little too old, fat, and don't bend well anymore), and 147/200 with no misses prone. Total score 417/600 (70%).
$5 entry fee and no prizes, but I walked away with a CMP qualification certificate which may start the CMP paperwork process for me.
