By Ashley Dugan, CMP Staff Writer
TALLADEGA, Ala. – The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is excited to announce a full lineup of classes and clinics hosted at its Talladega Marksmanship Park in Alabama!
Outside of the routine Basic Handgun, Shotgun and Rifle classes offered at the park each month, the clinic schedule presents a variety of disciplines led by such partners as Steyr Academy, GLOCK and more.
All courses are open to the public with the exception of Street Cop University’s two classroom classes, which are for Law Enforcement only and serve as continuing education for local entities.
CMP is also implementing its own four-hour Concealed Carry Class, led by Talladega Marksmanship Park manager Bret Lankford, where students will learn gun handling techniques, safety, legal requirements and more.

About the CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park:
Talladega Marksmanship Park, “The Home of Marksmanship,” is a worthy destination for firearm supporters and guests looking for practice, competition and mindful learning opportunities. Featuring CMP electronic targets and scoring monitors that can only be found at the 500-acre facility, the park regularly hosts rifle, pistol and shotgun events all year long. The CMP’s Unknown Distance Range at Talladega also allows guests to practice their skills in the field of over 100 steel targets, while the 20-lane life-size 3D target Archery Range provides even more marksmanship fun at the park.
The public is welcome daily, all year long, to test out their firearms or to simply explore the grounds. Off the firing line, the Club House holds a fully stocked Pro Shop that includes an exclusive collection of rifles, commercial sales, marksmanship accessories and CMP memorabilia that is always open during park hours.
