CMP NM Support Staff will be assisting with CMP National Match events only and will be picked from a selection process through all received applications (available on the CMP website). This year, the CMP will be needing assistance for pistol, rifle, smallbore and long range events.
Duties for NM Support Staff members may include firing line work as range officers, helping with stats/scorecards, along with other tasks assigned as needed.
Becoming a member of CMP NM Support Staff is a worthwhile opportunity for any competition-goer. Not only do they earn behind-the-scenes access to the CMP competitions process, they’re also open to creating lasting memories with staff members and participants along the way.
