After
more than a year of development, the CMP has just announced the completion and
availability of its innovative, exciting new CD-ROM titled Rifle Safety
& Marksmanship Training. The
CD is designed for use by coaches, instructors and youth who are teaching or
learning target rifle shooting. It presents a complete basic rifle marksmanship course plus an
impressive array of additional resources for new shooters and instructors.
The instructional program in the new CD is designed to teach marksmanship skills to youth who use air rifles, smallbore rifles or BB guns. Special efforts were made to make sure the CD could be used both by coaches who want a resource to guide the instruction they give and by juniors who are just getting started and want to study instructional material before they go to the range for their next shooting session.
Training
Consultants, Inc. of Morgantown, West Virginia, produced the CD.
TCI has produced many training CDs for educational institutions and
industry. They worked closely with
the CMP Program Committee and staff in the development of the new training
material. Marsha Beasley, WVU Rifle
Team Coach, and Gary Anderson, Director of
Civilian Marksmanship, provided technical consultation for the CD.
More than 30 leading junior club and team coaches were members of a
review groups for the Beta version of the disc.
The new CMP instructional CD features a “multi-media” approach where instruction is provided through graphics and illustrations, text descriptions and videos. Each topic also includes separate segments on “safety,” a “glossary” for that section and a “pretest” and “posttest” to stress key teaching points. The experience of using the CD is much like the experience of using the Internet. Users can move from page to page to follow the topics that are of interest to them at the moment.
The CD begins
with “Information for Parents and Coaches.”
It includes a printable, four-color PDF file that can be used to print an
air rifle safety poster for a club or home range. There is also a “Gallery of
Champions” with photos and advice from a whole series of national champions
and national junior champions.
The CD is designed to provide instruction that starts with youth who have no previous shooting experience. The instructional content is designed to take new shooters from their first shots on a range to their first experiences in competition shooting.
The CD not only provides the instruction needed to grow from first-time shooter to new competition shooter, but it also provides a full array of resources for junior shooters and coaches. There are 25 different exercises that can be printed out and completed as instructional exercises for individuals or groups. There is also a test at the end of each chapter for the Coach and student. Click here to print out the same test. Use this test if the coach would like hard copy documentation of the test results. The CD also has a comprehensive list of equipment sources and program resources.
The CD-ROM, Rifle Safety & Marksmanship
Training, contains a complete basic
marksmanship course and many
additional resources for junior shooters and junior shooting coaches.
The new CD can be ordered from the CMP for $14.95 for single copies or
$10.00 when five or more copies are ordered at one time.
