CMP’s Talladega Marksmanship Park Set to Host Rimfire Sporter, Highpower and Other Events in July

July 1, 2020

Civilian Marksmanship Program▸The First Shot▸CMP’s Talladega Marksmanship Park Set to Host Rimfire Sporter, Highpower and Other Events in July

By Ashley Brugnone, CMP Writer 

TALLADEGA, Ala. – The Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) Talladega Marksmanship Park schedule is full of upcoming rifle, pistol and shotgun events for the public to enjoy in July. 

Dubbed “The Home of Marksmanship,” the park is a worthy destination for firearm supporters and guests looking for practice, competition and mindful learning opportunities. Featuring CMP electronic targets and scoring monitors that can only be found at the 500-acre facility, the park regularly hosts rifle, pistol and shotgun events all year long.

The CMP’s new Unknown Distance Range at Talladega also allows guests to practice their marksmanship skills in the field of over 100 steel targets, out to 625 yards. 

The Talladega Highpower Regionals, featuring team, aggregate and EIC matches, will be held July 23-26.

The public is welcome into the park daily, all year long, to test out their firearms or to simply take a tour of the grounds. The park can even be used for hunters looking to zero-in their guns for the season.

Off of the firing line, the Club House holds a fully-stocked Pro Shop that includes an exclusive collection of rifles, ammunition, marksmanship accessories and CMP memorabilia that is always open during park hours.

Along with day-to-day activities, the CMP hosts its own monthly events, along with outside sponsors who also take advantage of CMP’s advanced facilities by utilizing the park for their own competitions. Read on to learn about the events open to the public for viewing and/or participation during the month of July.
