ANNISTON, Ala. – Registration is now open for the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) 13th Annual Anniston Dixie Doubles Air Rifle and Air Pistol Competition, which will kick off November 3-5, 2022 at the South Competition Center in Alabama.
The event is shot at state-of-the-art electronic targets located within the facility and features two days of international 60-shot airgun and rifle competitions for adults and youth, along with a final to end each day. In addition, a two-person aggregate team event (adult and youth pairs) is held at the same time as the open shooting competition. Overall competitors are awarded each individual day as well as from the two day combined aggregate scores.
Featuring a variety of people from across the country, including Olympians and national-level athletes, Anniston Dixie Doubles serves as a learning opportunity for new competitors as well as a worthwhile challenge for seasoned shooters.
Returning to Dixie Doubles in 2022 after a short hiatus is the exciting Target Sprint competition! Shooting on Saturday, November 4, Target Sprint participants run along a marked path, occasionally stopping to fire air rifles at five targets falling from 10 meters, knocking them down completely before continuing the race. The first to cross the finish line wins! This fun event is open to all competitors and non-competitors, ages 10 and up, who have completed a basic rifle safety class.
Register now for one of the most popular airgun competitions in the South! To learn more about the Anniston Dixie Doubles and to register, visit https://thecmp.org/cmp-matches/dixie-double/
