The top athletes have been determined for the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) Regional Three Position Air Rifle Championship! The event was held in April at CMP’s own airgun competition centers in Ohio and Alabama, as well as using CMP’s mobile electronic range in Utah.<\/p>\n
The annual nationwide competition series is designed for junior air rifle shooters involved in precision air rifle programs, 4-H, Scouts, American Legion, club, or JROTC sporter. Athletes start with a postal match, followed by regional and national events. During the match, athletes shoot from three positions: prone, standing, and kneeling. Qualifying scores are recorded each day, and the eight highest scoring scorers from each discipline participate in a final on the firing line.<\/p>\n
