Registration is now open for the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) annual Dixie Double Air Rifle and Air Pistol Competition, set to fire Nov. 3-4, 2018, in Alabama.

Hosting some of the best men, women and junior competitors from around the country, including members of the Army Marksmanship Unit and other national-level athletes, the Dixie Double serves as a learning opportunity for upcoming shooters as well as a worthwhile challenge for experienced marksmen.

Adults and juniors are both welcome to compete at the Dixie Double.

The event features two days of 60 shot international rifle and pistol competitions for adults and juniors, fired simultaneously, along with a final to end each day. A two-person aggregate team event is also held concurrently with the open shooting competition. Overall competitors are awarded each individual day as well as from the combined, two-day aggregate scores.

Returning to the Dixie Double in 2018 is the Target Sprint competition – open to all competitors and non-competitors, ages 10 and up, who have completed a basic rifle safety class. During the event, participants run along a path, occasionally stopping to fire air rifles at five 10-meter falling targets, knocking all over before continuing on. The first to cross the finish line wins!
