CMP Sends Important Reminder to GSMM Competitors of the 2021 National Matches
June 21, 2021
The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) would like to remind our 2021 National Match Garand/Springfield/Vintage/Modern Military (GSMM) competitors that they will be able to fire the rifle of their choice on the day (Friday – Sunday) and time of their choice. The GSMM Matches are scheduled for August 6-8.
Although all firing points will now be utilized during the events, competitors may only fire each rifle once – no reentry (firing the same rifle in the same category more than once) will be permitted at the 2021 National Matches.
The GSMM Rifle Matches are part of the CMP Games lineup conducted annually at the National Matches and at several other events throughout the year. During the match, competitors are able to fire a variety of vintage military rifles and service rifles at 200 yards. The course of fire includes slow-fire prone, rapid-fire prone and slow-fire standing portions.
Register for the 2021 National Trophy Rifle & CMP Games Matches on the CMP’s Competition Tracker page at https://ct.thecmp.org/21nmrifle.

Clarification Please ! In the Carbine Match, if my wife and I are entered on rely 4, and sharing a rifle, will one of us be on relay 3, one on relay 4, or will there be a relay 5 ? Also, do we report for squading at 6am or can we show up at 8 or 9 am and still get squaded and safety briefed ?
Thanks for all you do !!
What exactly is “squadding”? Is it the same as being organized into firing orders or groups? I’d like to come shoot but am curious how it’s run. Thanks

Squadding is receiving your firing point and relay. If you have any additional questions, please contact our competitions department at competitions@thecmp.org.
Thanks,
Christine
will the matches be pre-squadded the way they were at the Eastern Games?
No, you will be issued a squadding ticket the morning of the match.
