Service Rifle Clinic

Maspenock conducts a CMP "service rifle" clinic events on the rifle range .
The clinic is designed to foster the use of military service rifles in a relaxed competitive atmosphere.
This is only a clinic and not a true match.
Our Goal is to have fun and enable as many people as possible to purchase M1s from the CMP.

The cost of the clinic is $20, and we will supply an M1, ammo and targets.
You are free to bring your own service rifle and ammunition and shoot our targets for $5.00.
No Sporting Rifles Please.

For the $20, you will shoot 56 rounds, in 7 en-bloc clips (6 sighters, 50 qualifying), you take the brass and clips home with you.

Bring your own "eyes and ears" ( though we can supply those also, if need be). We have sections of rugs for shooting mats. You are free to bring any other equipment that you like.

Try to show up 15-30 minutes early for registration and set-up.

The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is a U.S. government-chartered program that promotes firearms safety training and rifle practice for all qualified U.S. citizens with special emphasis on youth.

The CMP was created by the U.S. Congress as part of the 1903 War Department Appropriations Act. 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 in the U.S. military. Over the years the emphasis of the program shifted to focus on youth development through marksmanship. From 1916 until 1996 the CMP was administered by the U.S. Army. Title XVI of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106, 10 February 1996) created the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice & Firearms Safety (CPRPFS) to take over administration and promotion of the CMP.
