CMP Uses Alternative Method to Name Winners in Withdrawn JROTC, CMP Air Rifle Matches

May 13, 2020

Civilian Marksmanship Program▸The First Shot▸CMP Uses Alternative Method to Name Winners in Withdrawn JROTC, CMP Air Rifle Matches

By Ashley Brugnone, CMP Writer

To make up for unexpected changes to the usual air rifle season, the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) has come up with a substitute method of establishing and awarding top junior athletes in its unfired national events.

Each year, two of the biggest competitions in the world of junior air rifle are the JROTC and the CMP Three-Position Air Rifle Championships. Both begin in the fall with a postal match before moving on to regional competitions that eventually lead to the crowning national events in the spring and early summer, where overall champions in sporter and precision classes are finally determined. The JROTC Championships accommodate high school scholastic athletes from around the country, while the CMP Three-Position event welcomes a variety of junior individuals and teams from schools and clubs.

Although the JROTC and CMP Three-Position Air Rifle Matches were cancelled, the CMP still recognized top competitors.

With many districts closed for the remainder of the year due to COVID-19, the decision was made in early spring to cancel the JROTC Air Rifle National Championships and the CMP Three-Position Regional/National events – carefully considering the idea that the CMP would rather cancel the events entirely than carry on without full participation from qualifying schools.

Recalling its mission of awarding talented junior marksmen, the CMP remained enthusiastic about recognizing those junior athletes who exhibited exceptional performances in the fired portions of the Three-Position Championships and named winners from the following matches that were able to be completed as scheduled.

The JROTC and CMP Championships consists of Postal, Regional and National matches.

JROTC Three-Position Air Rifle Championships:

Prize money reserved for the JROTC National Championship was used to award those who recorded outstanding scores in the JROTC Service Championships (fired in Ohio, Alabama and Arizona). Those finalized results can be found on CMP’s Competition Tracker page at http://ct.thecmp.org/JROTCNatresults.  

The Top 5 teams and individuals from precision and sporter classes were presented with monetary awards for their success during the match.

In addition to money awarded by the CMP, Larry and Brenda Potterfield from the MidwayUSA Foundation offered generous donations to be distributed amongst those teams that qualified to attend the JROTC Service Championships.  

The JROTC and CMP Three-Position events combine three stages: prone, standing and kneeling.

CMP Three-Position Air Rifle Championships:

The CMP Three-Position Air Rifle Match schedule was also disrupted this spring – with only the Postals Match completed earlier in the year. Regional competitions set for March and April in Ohio, Alabama and Utah were ultimately cancelled.

Below are the Top 5 highest scoring teams and individuals in both precision and sporter from the Postals results. View a complete list of results on the CMP Competition Tracker page: http://ct.thecmp.org/2020CMPPostalresults.

Congratulations to all awarded teams and individuals! We at the CMP were saddened to have to cancel these always exciting and meaningful junior air rifle events, but we were happy to be able to still recognize these talented athletes for their hard work and determination.

    How can cmp award EIC points . I have several people who have 29 points . They are Sr and have really work hard to gain their distinguish badge . Why can’t you use the 3 par state scores to award team placements . Some team only shoot the state and the state 3 par matches to quail for the regionals .

    I believe that due to the extraordinary circumstances the shooters who qualified and accepted to attend the Regionals should receive a certificate of achievement for this one year only. I had several shooters who were excited and ready to shoot the regionals.
