Civilian Marksmanship Program

How many of you guys have heard of this organization? I was thinking about joining it to get myself and my oldest son into some shooting competitions around the state and possibly go on to some national competitions.

It's an old organization that has been around and does great things to promote safe shootng competition. They also help out with purchasing surplus military weapons like the M1 Garand and Carbine. Good group, you should have a great time.

I considered joining and helping some local kids with marksmanship but there were no local clubs that were supported. Then Springfield came out with the new manufacture Garand and I found some used Anschutz cheap and I went ahead without them.

Well there are a few clubs around me and the southern region HQ is only about an hour away over in Anniston, AL and they have several of the Garands over there as well on auction. I am thinking about trying to pick up one or two real soon and start some good old fashioned shooting down on the farm.

Not with a large bullet fired from a National Match, well scoped, with bedded action and unitized gas system and 4.5 lb trigger.   :D

My knowledge is a little spotty about this, but didn't the federal government sponsor marksmanship competition for youngsters at one time, until it became politically incorrect to do so, and the program was dissolved?

If I am not mistaken this is still somehow part of the government with their "sanctioning" or something like that.
