CMP National Three Position Air Rifle Championship
Article based on report by Ashley Brugnone, CMP Writer
The 2015 CMP National National Three Position Air Rifle Championships will be held June 21-23 and June 24-26 at the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) South Competition Center in Anniston, Alabama. Junior JROTC, 4-H and club team precision and sporter marksmen involved in the competition began their journey with the CMP Postal Competition in November, where CMP-issued targets were mailed into Headquarters in Ohio for official scoring. Top shooters in the Postal Competition were invited to compete in the Regional Championships in March and April, with the top individuals and teams from that match qualifying for the National Championship.
The state-of-the-art CMP South Competition Center air gun range consists of 80 firing points, each equipped with state-of-the-art electronic targets. Spectators are able to observe each competitor’s shot via large overhead monitors. Live target images will also be available online for those wishing to follow the action from home.

Big Prize Money and Scholarship Awards
The MidwayUSA Foundation will donate $23,000 to winning teams of the CMP National Championships. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Over $600,000 was provided to competitors throughout the three phases of the Air Rifle Championships. The CMP will also provide additional monetary awards to winning teams and individuals as well $1,000 Scholarships awarded to the Top Three graduating seniors at the match.
Junior marksmen participating in the CMP National Championship will be invited to compete in the USA Shooting National 3P Junior Olympics. Precision competitors will fire on Monday, June 22, while sporter competitors will follow on Thursday, June 25. The National Junior Olympics will also be held in Anniston, Alabama.

Wow, nice to see this kind of money and support for the air gun side of the shooting sports. It seems MidwayUSA is getting more involved in this aspect with more products in their online store, albeit not of a higher quality as yet. It appears promising for the future.
It may be a bit early but where can we find the results? I looked around and was not able to find a link. Thank you for the help.
