CMP Match in Rome Ga

[Greg_D]

Great opportunity for young Shooters and a great Club!

I second this. Young shooters, old shooters, new shooter. It's very laid back. The targets are large. You will learn a great deal just doing it, seeing others technique, and asking questions.

I've got a few questions about the matches . Is it limited to older military rifles (garands ,M1's military style rifles ) ? Can I use my savage 10 bolt action, ar-15 or is any type of firearm allowed ? What calibers do most people use ? How is the match scored ?
It sounds like a Lot of fun. I would show up and watch on Apr. 284th but I plan on going to the appleseed training in Summerville that weekend.

I know there was an M1, in 30 Cal., and another in 308. The rest were Ar15’s. Hopefully someone with more experience can answer your other questions.

The AR15 is limited to a barrel no longer than 20” and maximum power 4.5 optics or iron sights. The weight limit is 8.5 lbs.
If you want to shoot an AR15 NM you can but it will be out of compitition which means the scores will not be sent to the CMP.

Yep...And no matter how well you shoot you will have the best looking rifle on the line.
River Bend Gun Club also has 2 M1A matches a year that are a lot of fun to shoot.its a 200 yard match. Oak Ridge has 2 300 yard matches to practice for the M1A Springfield Match at Camp Perry.
