In the links on this page you’ll find lots of information about clubs, affiliations and steps you’ll need to take to become part of the CMP family. If you have any questions about affiliating with the CMP or locating a CMP Affiliated Club, please contact the CMP Affiliate Relations Department at (419) 635-2141, Ext. 753.

If you’re an individual seeking to discover, learn or compete in shooting sports, membership in a CMP-affiliated club can make a significant difference in your progress. By joining a CMP-affiliated club you will gain access to a community of knowledgeable shooters, approved facilities, clinics and competition not readily available to the casual shooter.
Whether you shoot airgun, pistol, rimfire sporter rifle, smallbore rifle, or highpower rifle, you are likely to find a CMP-affiliated club that will help you improve your performance and enhance your knowledge of the sport. By joining an affiliated club you can participate in CMP sanctioned match events that meet the same standards found at CMP-affiliated clubs across the country. Click on the Find a CMP Affiliated Club link to find a club near you.
