CAMP PERRY, Ohio – The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) invites the public to explore the exciting and fast-growing world of air rifle competition Feb. 15-17, 2019, as hundreds of coaches, competitors and spectators take part in the 2019 JROTC Regional Air Rifle Championships, held at the Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center at Camp Perry.

The 3x20 junior air rifle event is being held at the Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center, located on the grounds of Camp Perry.

The three-position event showcases high school Junior ROTC athletes from around the country who use precision air rifles (mirrored from Olympic-style competitions) as well as classically-designed sporter air rifles to fire pellets upon state-of-the-art electronic targets at prone, standing and kneeling positions. Regional events will also be held in CMP’s South Competition Center in Anniston, Ala., and in Chandler, Ariz., using CMP’s electronic Mobile Range before Nationals are fired back in Alabama in March.

Top scorers of the competition will move on to the National Championship in Alabama in March.

To reward the hard work of dedicated junior athletes and coaches, the CMP administers thousands of dollars in monetary funds towards teams who qualify for the Regional events, with additional funds presented to qualifiers reaching the National Championship. The funds serve as symbols of the organization’s continued support of junior marksmanship for the current generation and into the future.
