I shot in the first Garand match at Perry back in '98. I continued to attend both Grand matches and 1903/Bolt action matches for several years. Was awarded several Bronze and one Silver medal over those years. Haven't shot at Perry since 2008, but am thinking about it again. It was always a fun time.
We hope you can join us at Camp Perry - it is a special place and we love to see our competitors on the firing line! Find out more on our website at thecmp.org/cmp-national-matches/.
The National Matches/CMP Games are the main event for me every year. I love the CMP and the GCA with all my heart.
When you walk on the ranges at Camp Perry, you are walking in the footsteps of Hero's who shot there: GySgt. Carlos Hathcock (author of "Marine Sniper, 93 confirmed kills), and
Capt. Herbert W. McBride(author of "A Rifleman went to War" and "The Emma Gees"), and many others.
I resisted as long as I could, and bought an M1 Garand from the CMP North Store 5 years ago. I've shot it in the CMP Garand match, and now I see the attraction. :)
If you have an M1, get out to Perry and shoot in this match. If you don't have one, why are you waiting? ;)
There’s no greater place on earth! The sound of freedom rings loudly after colors in the morning. It’s truly awe-inspiring!
Good lord, this got me excited to go back to Perry this year!
I'm very happy to see this . The smile on the kiddos and using our TAX MONEY TO TEACH CHILDREN HOW TO SAFELY SHOOT AND HAVE A GREAT TIME . I'd rather have this than seeing kids hurt in the streets. EDUCATION IS KEY . Ty
Great video. These types of presentations are very important to getting more people involved in shooting sports.
Yes! Shooting has so many great attributes for everyone. For kids it instills great responsibility. For older folks it has many physical assets that keep old age at bay. You are 💯 correct.
Its like a Garand Lovefest :)
I WAS
AT CAMP PERRY 1961
I've been there before, its fun.
Good stuff. At 19:24 they talk about Shane Butler of the Marine Corps Team winning with an M1A. Interesting that he's no longer with the Marine Corps Team. He left in '22, when the AMU recruited him. I've shot with him in a few matches, great dude. Sucks that the Marine Corps rotates shooters through forcing them out after 3 years, while the AMU will let shooters stay for an entire career. Probably why they usually kick our (USMC) butts...lol
What is the ratio of Civilians vs. Servicemen in the CMP National at Camp Perry ?
My goal is to go in 2024, I just got my first garand at the south store and right after my purchase I went straight to talladega and shot it. Love at first ping! I’m really anxious to go in 2024 and it would be my first time ever shooting in a match. I’ve always shot for recreation and practice
We look forward to seeing you on the range!
Freedom Whoahoo.......
I would LOVE to enter the Garand match next year! Only question i have is are you able to use just your normal 8rd clips through the whole match, other than the single shot you take? I know you take 10 shots per position, which to me, would be one full 8rd clip, reload a second full clip, fire 2 rds then eject the clip and remaining 6 rds... is that ok to do?
Hi Aron,
Shooting the M1 Garand match is a lot of fun! It’s a heavy rifle, so it can be a challenge, BUT if you can handle the rifle, shooting the match isn’t super difficult. The match is fired in three stages (two stages are slow-fire).
Stage 1
The match starts with a combined “sighter” period and 10 shots for record, slow-fire in the prone position in a continuous running time of 15 minutes. During that time, budget your sighter time and record firing time. (Take approximately 5 minutes to perfect your sighters, then burn approximately 10 minutes to shoot 10’s and X’s, all slow-fire, singly-loaded.
During the slow-fire stage, you don’t need to use a clip at all (or you can buy a single-load clip, but it can be a pain to manage). Simply open the bolt, insert the round into the chamber (seating it in the barrel) and close the bolt (aim, then fire). Don’t “baby” the bolt, let it slam shut so the bolt locks into place. Repeat for your remaining four sighters and 10 shots for record (prone slow-fire).
Stage 2
The rapid-fire stage requires using a clip (a normal 8-rounder OR special 2-rounder “highly recommended” and 2 rounds of ammunition) Two rounds need to be inserted into the magazine (well) under the bolt, so the bolt closes on an empty chamber.
When targets appear (pit-operated targets) OR the command “Targets” is given (if shot on electronically-scored targets), the shooter drops from standing into prone position, acquires the proper target, pulls the charging handle completely to the rear and lets the first round lock into the chamber and commences firing 2 rounds.
After the second round is fired, calmly insert a clip of 8 rounds, close the bolt and calmly, but accurately, fire each of the 8 remaining rounds into the center of the target.
It’s 2 and 8 rounds, simple as that. No other combinations of rounds or magazines need to be considered. A total of 10 shots in 80 seconds...
Stage 3
It’s standing slow-fire. Ten shots for record fired in a time limit of 10 minutes. On the firing line, stand. With one round, load. Commence firing when the target appears or the command “Start” is given Take your time and dress up every shot. This is where CMP Games matches are won or lost. Time is on your side, use it well...
Be safe, shoot 10s and Xs!
Are there any in my local area of Waterloo Iowa?
Hope this helps!

I wonder, must you use a m1 garand or is any Milsurp rifle allowed
We have the GSMM Matches - Garand, Springfield, Vintage Military and Modern Military matches. You can view our Games Rulebook at thecmp.org/competitions/cmp-competitions-rulebooks/ or email competitions@thecmp.org with any questions. We hope to see you on the firing line soon!
@@CivilianMarksmanshipProgram you have any completions coming up in Pennsylvania, I would love to participate

This is awesome. I bought an M1 years ago on a whim. They had dozens of them in a barrel at a gun shop in the early 80s. I was buying a hand gun when I saw this surplus barrel. So I bought one for me and one for my Dad (a WW2 vet). They were $50. Still have them both.

Still can’t believe the M1917 STILL isn’t allowed in the American service rifle match. Numerically it was our primary issue in ww1 please allow the M1917
The M1917 Rifle has not been authorized for use in modern Service Rifle competition because virtually all competitors have preferred to use semi-auto M16/AR15-type or M14/M1A-type rifles. The M1917 Rifle is authorized for use in CMP Games Vintage Military Rifle events where it is quite popular but it has not been authorized for Service Rifle events because there has been almost no demand for this. If there is a genuine interest in authorizing the M1917 .30-06 Rifle for Service Rifle competitions, such a request could be presented to the CMP Rules Committee via email to competitions@thecmp.org when it meets to consider rule changes for 2023 rulebooks.
@@CivilianMarksmanshipProgram will do the M1917 is a superior service rifle to the 03a3 it has better sights and better recoil control I LOVE my M1917 and out of any ww1/2 bolt action rifle it would be my no1 choice
@@CivilianMarksmanshipProgram I find it kind of a shame that the 1917 can't be entered into the 3/4 gun aggregate as a substitute for the Springfield. I own a Garand, a 1917, and other rifles meeting the Modern and Vintage Military standards. I was born too late to get a good price on a 1903. Maybe when rifles are being sold at the Travel Games again I will pick one up, if there is one.
@@JaredAF The U.S Model 1917 rifle is part of our CMP Games Rifle Matches, if the rifle fits rules 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.1 and 4.2.4 in the current edition of the CMP Games Rifle & Pistol Competition Rulebook: thecmp.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/2022CMPGamesRules.pdf.
The rifle, if it follows the current rules maybe fired in our CMP Vintage Military Rifle Matches.
All information can be found in the current edition of the CMP Games Rifle & Pistol Competition Rulebook at thecmp.org/competitions/cmp-competitions-rulebooks/.
Better than Springfield.
I'm surprised with all the rifles that have been sold by the once federally chartered CMP, having been established by Teddy Roosevelt a hundred plus years ago. I can ask just about any of my friends, and they have no idea what the CMP is. You operate one shooting facility that I know of in Talledaga. Not very effective.
Tim, we have CMP Affiliated Clubs throughout the country and hold sanctioned matches and clinics at those clubs. Please visit our website at www.TheCMP.org to learn more. Thank you!
$1200 for a service grade M1? ⁉😱🤑.. That being the case, I'm aware of the supply/demand pushing the prices up.. But come on, who we kidding here?
And yes, I totally support the sport, both in spirt, and in equipment.. But it's hard enough getting someone interested in the game, what with drive time, range fees, ammo, etc, without telling them they got to shell out a grand for the rifle..
All US government monies are gone from running the CMP. The CMP is now (and has been for years) supposed to be self financed. This is one of the major reasons for the prices being so high.
they just made a race gun of M14A1 how much money are you talking?
It looks interestng... except that it is 2200 miles from my house. Bummer!
Have only been twice 2007 and 2010. Work interferes.
that marine was cheating you see the gear he was wearing while going against old vets.
shameless LOOL.
