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.
