CMP Releases 2022 Rifle and Pistol Marksmanship 101 Course Schedule

January 14, 2022

Civilian Marksmanship Program▸The First Shot▸CMP Releases 2022 Rifle and Pistol Marksmanship 101 Course Schedule

The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) has released its annual lineup of hands-on rifle and pistol learning opportunities offered around the country throughout the calendar year!

The CMP’s Marksmanship 101 Courses are designed to train individuals on rifle or pistol essentials and competition basics in a closely monitored setting. Utilizing the talents of qualified CMP staff and world-class instructors, participants learn through classroom discussion and active training on the range. Near the conclusion of course, students apply all they have learned in a true M16 rifle or M9 pistol match, fired under close supervision of the mentors on the line.

The Marksmanship 101 Courses offer hands-on, personalized rifle and pistol education on the range.

The courses are designed to accommodate those familiar with marksmanship as well as those completely new to the sport, so previous knowledge and experience is not required. Firearms and ammo will be provided by the CMP. Personal shooting jackets and gloves are permitted on the range, while hearing and eye protection are required during live firing. 

Current Marksmanship 101 Rifle and Pistol Courses set for 2022 include:

  • May 14-15 – Douglas Rifle Club, Eagle Creek, Oregon
  • June 18-19 – Fairfax Rod and Gun Club, Manassas, Virginia
  • Oct. 1-2 – Illinois State Rifle Association, Bonfield, Illinois
Master Instructor Steve Cooper answers questions during the Marksmanship 101 class.
The Marksmanship 101 classes are a combination of live range and classroom training.

A Range Officer Class for both rifle and pistol will also be offered at the events, held a day prior to the start of the courses. Those who take the class will be educated on all of the details needed to become a representative of safety on the range during CMP sponsored and sanctioned competitions.

Registration for the Marksmanship 101 Courses will open Jan. 15, 2022. Classes are limited, so please sign up in advance! Walk-ins will be permitted, so long as the maximum number of participants does not exceed 90. 

Outside of its own schedule, Marksmanship 101 Courses are also offered throughout the year at various CMP events:
