The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) promotes firearms safety
training and rifle practice for all qualified U.S. citizens with
special emphasis on youth. The CMP operates through a network of
affiliated shooting clubs and associations that covers every state
in the U.S. The clubs and associations offer firearms safety training
and marksmanship courses as well as the opportunity for continued
practice and competition.
The CMP was created by the U.S. Congress. The original purpose
was to provide civilians an opportunity to learn and practice marksmanship
skills so they would be skilled marksmen if later called on to serve
the U.S. military. Over the years the emphasis of the program shifted
to focus on youth development through marksmanship.
