Since marksmanship education and training is a key component of the CMP’s mission, there are many opportunities for experienced shooters and instructors to receive advanced training in marksmanship so it may be passed on to beginners and aspiring competitors.
The Civilian Marksmanship Program offers clinics at our events every year for new and experienced competitors. Find more information about the clinics that we offer.

The CMP, along with the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit and CMP Master Instructors, have expanded its outreach to other areas of the country through CMP’s Games matches and Marksmanship 101 classes held at CMP Affiliated Clubs.
The classes are structured toward teaching new shooters (both adults and youth alike), so no past firearm experience is required, though intermediate and advanced marksmen are also welcome to participate. During the course, students will learn basic instruction and firing practices, competition skills and live range firing, as well as compete in a real EIC Match.

I recently took the Marksman 101 class at the ISRA range in Bonfield, IL. I would like to say thank you, to the AMU team (Ben & Cade), Steve, Ben, Sara, and yourself for the outstanding and informative class.
The way everyone answered all of our questions, and especially demonstrating shooting positions was fantastic. No question was to trivial. It was great to see how the CMP team work with everyone, especially the juniors, was unbelievable, especially Ben & Cade. You could tell, that the AMU &the CMP knew, the juniors are our future, and to be taught the finer points of precision shooting was enlightening. I learned that there is so much more to precision shooting than I thought or even imagined. I learned that with training I could become a half way decent shooter, lol. Really, I learned a great deal in the 2 days.
If the CMP would happen to come back to Bonfield, I definitely will sign up any classes that would be offered.
Again Amy, thank you for everything that the CMP has done for shooting sports, and a Big thank you to everyone that came to the ISRA range in Bonfield, IL.
Sincerely,
Ray C.
