The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) offers a CMP Affiliate Program that provides special benefits to marksmanship organizations and clubs. For just $35 a year per club, CMP-Affiliated Clubs and their members get many benefits, including access to training, facilities, equipment, and competitions. Clubs are also eligible to receive marksmanship grants and access to sales promotions. Learn more about the CMP Affiliate Program on the CMP website: https://thecmp.org/clubs/affiliate/.

CMP-Affiliated Clubs are eligible to host their own local CMP sanctioned matches — from smallbore rifle to CMP Games rifle and pistol events, highpower and more. The CMP’s Affiliated Club network now boasts over 2700 affiliated clubs nationwide. To find an Affiliated Club in your area, visit TheCMP.org/clubs.

Marksmanship clubs or organizations may affiliate as one of the following club/team categories: Junior Club, Senior Club, Senior Club with Junior Division, Youth Camp, School Team (High School, Middle School, JROTC Unit, etc.), or College Shooting Team.

M1 Garand Raffle Options
State associations within the Affiliated Club program are able to hold a raffle once a year for an M1 Garand rifle (purchasing an M1 Field Grade from the CMP for a much discounted $200). Clubs not part of a State Association are still able to get a 10 percent discount on M1s for use within their own ranges.

Insurance Options for CMP-Affiliated Clubs
Through a new partnership with Lockton Affinity Outdoor, clubs and members of the CMP community may now access a wide range of affordable insurance solutions to protect themselves and their firearm property. Starting as low as $50 per year, coverage with Lockton Affinity Outdoor helps protect against loss to personal items, property damage, third-party injuries and more.

Some Clubs May Already Be Affiliated
Some established clubs earn automatic affiliation through the CMP Memoranda of Understanding (MOU). Entities such as the JROTC commands from each military branch, 4-H and Boy Scouts are automatically affiliated at no cost. Though automatic, clubs must enroll with the CMP in order to become officially associated.
