CMP rimfire match interest?

photoracer · May 18, 2016

I have to say that the Critters match at MPC (Frederick) would fit the bill. They use scaled targets out to a max of 40 yards and juniors get to shoot from a rest unlike adults who shoot free-standing. They also do the NRA Winchester Qualification series with scaled targets including benchrest and 3-position.

Berwyn Rod & Gun Club in Bowie, MD, will be holding a CMP-sanctioned Rimfire Sporter event on Sunday, July 17, 2016, at 10 AM with registration starting at 9:30 AM (the gate will be open at that time). We are expecting to run at least two consecutive relays.

Please let me know if you would prefer to shoot in the later relay, approximate start time 11:30 AM.

To compete under CMP guidelines, competitors should have a CMP competitors ID. All competitors must have a notarized "Eligibility Affidavit and Liability Agreement" on file at BRGC. A Notary may be available during match registration.

Inquiries should be directed to publicevents@berwyn.org.

So I've been looking to get into competitive shooting... something I can do cheaply with my daughter (15) that reinforces the skills she's picked up at Appleseeds.

Did a quick search of ranges in the area that hold CMP rimfire. It looks like Berwyn used to, but nothing on the schedule now (although the AGC calendar search is rather useless). There's a range in Thurmont that has them, but that's a bit of a haul.

My club at the AGC has been talking about doing something that marries .22 and accuracy. How many people here would be interested in such an event? Or am I missing one already being held in the area?

We've had three CMP Rimfire Sporter events at Berwyn Rod & Gun Club since July. All of these events are open to the public and I've been posting them here as well.

We had a good turnout for our first event in July but the two events since then have been attended by the core group that is will to travel all over the state to attend such events. A great group of folks there.

There just doesn't seem to be much interest in Maryland for this, but I'm going to keep running them because I believe these are just great events and great fun to shoot. I'll crank them up again in the Spring.

Mike, Thanks for running these! We enjoyed the July shoot. Unfortunately I was out of town for the next two dates. I'd love to come back down next summer with the Ultra-Lux.

Thanks Mike :thumbsup:

I didn't make it to any of your shoots this year but I'd definitely like to take my daughter next year.

CMP has two classifications, scoped or irons, so you compete in your class. Same targets and rules.

Peep apertures used to be classified as scopes, now I think there's some flexibility.

Peeps are classified as scopes under CMP rules. But enough peeps show up, you can run a separate class.

photoracer · Nov 1, 2016

That is the point really. Like most sporting events I have competed in since high school, if there are classes based on performance potential (which this is) and a class has an insufficient number to constitute a minimum class those competitors have to be put in the next higher class not the next lower if they want to compete. And trust me the Tech or peep sights are as much above regular open sights as optics are above them. It means good shooters can do respectable in the next higher class but it doesn't mean they can win.

Bombguy · Dec 28, 2016

Except that your web page says that you allow .17HMR to shoot alongside the .22LRs. How does that work out? Do the .17s beat the .22s out every time?

Bombguy · Dec 28, 2016

I have been looking at you clubs web page and havent seen anything for 2017 yet. Are y'all still planning on running the Rimfire Sporters in 2017?

You may want to contact Andrea Miller (the CMP representative for MD). She can help in setting up CMP events. She is a member of the MD State Rifle and Pistol Association and can be reached at amiller@msrpa.org.

As before, we are planning to run at least 2 relays so long was we have enough shooters (9 per relay is the maximum). We could do a third if we had enough interested shooters. I wouldn't want anyone to go home without having the chance to shoot.

Are you planning on having more matches this year?
I have been looking into this but so far your matches aren't working with my work schedule

Sling1 · Apr 8, 2017

Sounds like the OP might be interested in the NRA/Winchester Program or the Critters match at MPC. If he knew a member there he and his daughter could shoot as a guest.

Yes, we are. I'll be scheduling dates for the second half of 2017 after making sure that they don't conflict with the events at Thurmont.
