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.

Dear Customer Service,
I participated in the Feb 26 to 28 AMC class and wanted to send along a few post-course comments. Thank you to Chris, Ryan, Brent, and Jeremy who were positive and knowledgeable throughout and represent the CMP very well. Thank you to CMP for offering and supporting the concept of the AMC so people can gain valuable technical knowledge and professionally guided, hands-on experience. I am not over-stating the experience by saying I learned more concerning function and operation of M1s in 2 1/2 days than I have in many years of listening to “experts” and fumbling on my own. Everyone at the workbench thought the course was satisfying, well thought out and presented, results excellent, and the money well spent.
Cheers,
-Mark D'Aversa

Dear Ms Johnson,
Please accept my sincere thanks for your support of the CMP Advanced Maintenance Class, and my commendations to the Custom Shop and all of the staff that supported the class held on January 27-29 of this year.
I had the good fortune to be selected for attendance in the class and I was rewarded with three days of concentrated and comprehensive instruction on the finer points of assembly and maintenance for my M1 Garand and an insight into the mission of the CMP. Please pass along my thanks for a job well-done to Relations Specialist Jeremy Coppock,, Supervisor Chris Hord and Armorers Ryan Lindell and Chris Knott for making the experience so very worthwhile. I was impressed with their knowledge and desire to impart that knowledge to each member of the class. Not having any previous armorer experience, I was a bit uneasy with my ability to build an M1. Their close attention to each student’s individual experience and needs gave me the confidence to proceed with each task. They are excellent teachers of their craft.
Thank you again for an incredible experience.
Sincerely,
- Thomas Strong
