Become a Garand-Springfield–Military Rifle Clinic Master Instructor - Shooters and instructors who would like to become trained to conduct Garand Clinics in their clubs or communities will soon have an opportunity to participate in a special Master Instructor training workshop offered by the CMP at Camp Perry, Ohio on 8-9 April. This workshop is part of a new program the CMP is inaugurating to train and certify Master Instructors to teach Garand-Springfield-Military Rifle Clinics (G-S-M Clinics) at clubs and ranges near their homes.
2006 CMP National Matches Plans New M9 Pistol EIC Match Added - The CMP is now finalizing its National Matches Program and CMP Competition Rules for the 2006 competition season. This is the first of a series of announcements to be released during the month of March regarding the 2006 rules and National Trophy Pistol and Rifle Matches programs. This year’s service pistol rules and National Matches CMP pistol program will be very similar to 2005, except that there is a new pistol event that will be part of the National Trophy Pistol Matches. This summer, a new M9 Pistol EIC Match will be fired in conjunction with the Pistol Small Arms Firing School. The new pistol event is patterned after the very successful M16 Rifle EIC Match that was introduced into the National Matches program in 2004.
More Than Just a Rifle - CMP customers have many reasons why they purchase MI Garands. Some costumers are competitors who hope to find the perfect match grade rifle, others are collectors in search of the perfect restoration project, but the one thing most of our customers have in common is a desire to own a piece of history.
