Hi Christina,

I wanted to give out some of my observations regarding the CMP support for competitors.  First and foremost, I see the CMP as the premier organization in the USA for precision competitive shooting.  I have seen the DCM/CMP transform from an organization with no flexibility and no innovation to a very progressive organization that supports the competitors and has new offerings to get more competitors in the game.

  • I enjoyed the little gifts and mailings in 2020.  This has kept my relationship with the CMP.
  • I enjoyed the support in the Winter League series.
  • I enjoyed the National Matches.  I love the air pistol shooting and the addition of the Glock match (the only reason I bought a Glock!)
  • I like that the CMP has offered the Precision Pistol 2700 match to keep the NRA bullseye shooters in the game.
  • The awards ceremony at the Eastern Games is a big hit.
  • I like the regular communications via email of competitor and sales information.

I would like to have more sanctioned matches in my area.  I run a league in an indoor range.  My challenge is cost and time as the range can make more revenue with plinkers paying by the hour.  I would like for the future that the CMP offers a sanctioned 60 shot precision pistol course as a number of my competitors cut their teeth on my league before competing in the outdoor matches.

Thank you for supporting the precision shooting sports.
