CMP Hosts Holiday Open House at Indoor Marksmanship Facility, with Free Admission
November 3, 2025
ANNISTON, Ala. – On Tuesday, Nov. 18, the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) welcomes you to tour the Judith Legerski CMP Competition Center for our Holiday Open House!
The event will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. During that time, guests are invited to browse the facility’s Laser Shot simulator and 80-point indoor electronic target range for air rifle and air pistol!
Holiday treats, including hot chocolate, cider, coffee and cookies will be on hand, along with several prizes!
Entry is completely free. All ages welcome, though juniors must be at least 10 years old to use the air guns within the range.
The CMP will also be hosting a Beginners Class at 4:30 p.m., for those new to air competition, as well as a 10-shot Turkey Shoot! Prizes for first, second and third place will include a turkey, ham and pies.
Air guns are a safe, effective introduction to marksmanship – with no kickback and little noise as they propel lead pellets downrange (as the name suggests) through the power of air. The Megalink electronic targets within the range instantly display shot placement on LED monitors, making air gun a convenient and easy activity for individuals of all experience levels.
In the spirit of the season, visitors to the Open House are encouraged to participate in our Canned Food Drive, with all donations offered to local food banks.
Reminder, the Competition Center is open weekly to the public! Bring your own qualified air rifle or air pistol or use one of ours. Stop in for a night out with friends or hone your skills toward competitive success, an NCAA scholarship or even a spot at the Olympic Games through the sport of marksmanship.
