After completing a successful Bullseye Pistol League in the fall, the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is excited to announce a new competition series, partnered with Lake Erie Arms – the CMP Rimfire Rifle League, featuring electronic targets!

The CMP Rimfire Rifle League is an indoor .22 caliber sporter rifle target competition, held Tuesdays from 5-8 p.m. at Lake Erie Arms and running from Jan. 14 to March 4, 2025. The league is suitable for those looking for an introduction into marksmanship competition as well as those looking for a fun challenge with friends or family. All experience levels are welcome, including juniors (ages 10 and up).

The Rimfire Rifle League matches will be fired at 25 yards from three positions: prone, sitting/kneeling and standing. Competitors may choose from T-Class (telescopic sights), O-Class (standard sights) and TU-Class (tactical/unlimited, any sights) categories.

Firing will be completed on CMP's line of electronic targets, complete with a scoring monitor located beside each participant. The electronic targets deliver fast, accurate shot scores – offering an enhanced experience for individuals and quicker competition times! The same targets will also be used during the National Rimfire Sporter Match, part of the annual National Matches at Camp Perry, for the first time on July 20, 2025.

Additionally, the CMP will host a Rimfire Rifle class prior to the start of the league for those wanting to learn more about the sport! Sign up for the CMP Rimfire Rifle League and find additional info at https://www.learms.net/current-leagues!
