CMP Partners with Oak Harbor Conservation Club for State Rimfire Match
June 3, 2025
OAK HARBOR, Ohio – The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is thrilled to announce a partnership with the Oak Harbor Conservation Club in hosting a State Rimfire Sporter Rifle Match on June 21! The event is open to public participation, even those outside the state of Ohio.
“It has been a pleasure collaborating with the CMP in organizing the first State Championship Match in Ohio to use the eTarget system,” said Chuck Yarletts of Oak Harbor Conservation Club.
Designed for all experience levels, the Rimfire Sporter Match utilizes smallbore rifles that weigh 7 1/2 pounds or less, with sights. Competition will be divided into three classes O-Class (open sights), T-Class (telescopes) and TU-Class (tactical). Firing is done at 50 and 25 yards in prone, sitting and standing positions, in slow- and rapid-fire modes.
For this event, the CMP will be utilizing its eTarget system – set to be featured at the 2025 National Matches at Camp Perry. The match will be fired on the club’s indoor 50-yard range.
“The Oak Harbor Conservation Club has been a dedicated CMP Affiliated Club for years, and we thought assisting with this State Rimfire event would be an excellent opportunity to lend our own support to this wonderful organization,” said Sara Rozanski, CMP Highpower Rifle Coordinator.
“The State match will be the perfect place for those planning on attending the 2025 National Rimfire Sporter Match to gain a little extra practice, especially for those unfamiliar with our eTarget system,” Rozanski added. “We’d like to thank the Conservation Club for allowing us to use their facility as a preview to these targets, and we’re excited to present them on the national stage at this year’s National Matches.”
