CMP Info: The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) promotes firearms safety training and rifle practice for all qualified U.S. citizens with special emphasis on youth. The CMP was created by the U.S. Congress. The original purpose was to provide civilians an opportunity to learn and practice marksmanship skills so they would be skilled marksmen if later called on to serve the U.S. military. Over the years the emphasis of the program shifted to focus on youth development through marksmanship. From 1916 until 1996 the CMP was administered by the U.S. Army. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996 (TITLE XVI) created the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice & Firearms Safety, Inc. (CPRPFS) to take over administration and promotion of the CMP. The CPRPFS is a tax exempt not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that derives its mission from public law. To learn more about CMP go to www.odcmp.com or refer to the Events Page. ------------------------- Sierra Claydusters Info: The Sierra Claydusters trap and skeet range at the rice canyon range is a regulation 5 station 27 yard field with a automatic thrower. The trap range is open to the public on scheduled shoot days. The cost is $4.00 per round of 25 birds. Bring your own shotgun and shells. General safety rules apply. A skeet range, in combination with the trap range, is now completed and open to scheduled events. Contact Lowell Harwood at (530) 257-3764 for more information. |
