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

CMP Rimfire Rifle League

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 courses of fire take place at 25 yards, from three firing 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 takes place using CMP’s line of electronic targets, complete with a scoring monitor located beside each participant. The electronic targets deliver fast, accurate shots scores – offering an enhanced experience for individuals and quicker competition times. The match provides a look at the same target system used for the first time during the National Rimfire Sporter Match, part of the annual National Matches at Camp Perry, 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!
