ON THE MARK Newsletter
On the Mark: CMP’s Newsletter for Coaches and Junior Shooters
Starting September 2025, On the Mark will only be available online. We will no longer offer printed copies. Stroll down this page to view the latest editions of On the Mark.
ON THE MARK is published digitally every quarter by the Civilian Marksmanship Program. It is dedicated to disseminating news and information about junior shooting activities to leaders and coaches of junior shooting clubs, teams and camps.
Its primary purpose is to help youth shooting leaders teach firearms safety and marksmanship more effectively and assist junior shooting leaders and coaches in the continued success and improvement of their young shooters, regardless of skill level.
A typical issue of ON THE MARK includes 32 pages of new junior shooting program information as well as news about junior events, instructional tips and coaching information. Bonus inserts and brochures are regularly included which detail programs for junior competition and training programs or provide equipment and training material purchase opportunities.
