I looked everywhere and could not find the certificate I got from my local range certifying that I shot a CMP qualifying match. However, I just looked on their order form, and it appears that I can just send in proof that I've gone to some sort of shooting match. So, would the practical pistol match I go to every week or so count? Just wondering if anyone has had experience with this. Thanks! -Couch-Commando |

look at cmp website. I sent a copy of my CCW license.

I take it that means that I can just send in a copy of the results and I should be good? The only reason I really question that assumption, is because my range has a specific M1 garand highpower competition that they sign people up for so they can order through CMP. I just figure if it's this easy, why bother having a specific match for it? |

They also have a marksmanship form you can have signed by a range official who witness' your shooting.
http://www.odcmp.com/Forms/marksmanship.pdf The matches used to be a requirement, but they have loosened up on that in recent times to make it easier to get one of tthem fine weapons. |

Quoted: Heck, just attend an Appleseed shoot put on by the RWVA. It's fun and will give you the skills to really shoot that Garand when you get it. -Deacon If I can scramble enough money together, I plan on going to local C&R matches and perhaps highpower matches. I need to improve my accuracy. I shot smallbore when I was 10-13, and was extremely accurate. My accuracy has since gone to shit. I have issues flinching when I shoot long arms. It sucks. I need to train it away and get my accuracy back so I can make cleaner hunting kills. Sort of a self respect thing. |

What you think no one else can shoot? |

I just figure if it's this easy, why bother having a specific match for it? Any match qualifies. It doesn't have to be with a Garand or even a centerfire or a rifle for that matter. Just marksmanship. If you're still not convinced, you might try posting your question on the CMP forum: http://www.odcmp.org/new_forum/Default.asp |

Quoted: Sorry, that was mean of me. And I know I need to get better too. But I get sick of seeing people with $3000 rifles brag about hitting "minute of man" every time. Quoted: Unlike most arfcommers, I know what good shootnig actually is, and know how to get there. I just need the time and money to efficiently practice. Yeah, no one else knows how to shoot.  We may not know what good shooting is, but at least we can spell it.  ETA: Damn I was tired last night. Every post I made was full of misspellings and said stupid shit. |
