CMP update

[CMP]

¥ Sights and Handstops for Winchester 52C and 52D and Remington 513T Models Available. In 2003, CMP sold a quantity of Winchester Model 52D and 52C and Remington 513T rifles to both clubs and individuals. These rifles were sold without sights or handstops. The CMP has completed the inspection and repair of the sights that were removed from these rifles and is offering these sights and handstops for sale to the clubs and individuals who recently purchased 52Cs and 52Ds and 513Ts from CMP, on a one handstop, one front sight and one rear sight per rifle purchased basis. CMP will only accept club orders between 12 January and 29 February. Orders from individual customers for any remaining sights will also be accepted beginning 1 March 2004. Information and prices can be found at http://www.odcmp.com/Clubs/partsales.htm.

¥ 2004 Affiliated Club Annual Report Renewal Information - The Annual Report and Renewal notifications for CMP-affiliated clubs and organizations, which have been sent in January in past years, will not be sent until the end of February. This delay is because the CMP Board of Directors is considering some procedural changes that could streamline the affiliation process and make CMP resources more readily available to more clubs and organizations. Once these considerations are decided, all affiliated clubs and organizations will be notified, via email or mail, regarding any changes and the new submission dates for their Annual Report Renewals. It is expected that Annual Report and Renewal notifications for CMP affiliates will be released in mid to late February and that reports will be due by 1 April.

¥ 2004 National Guard Bureau Postal Competition - All Junior shooting clubs and school teams are encouraged to enter and participate in the 2004 National Guard Bureau Junior Position Air Rifle Tournament. This tournament features both a precision air rifle standing event and a sporter air rifle three-position event. Teams and individuals can actually enter both of these events to compete in the postal "state championship" phase of the competition. Interested clubs or schools may order targets from the CMP anytime between now and 10 March 2004. All targets must be fired and returned to the CMP, postmarked not later than 31 March 2004. Full details on this exciting nationwide event can be accessed via the CMP website at: www.odcmp.com/3P/NGB.htm. The Tournament has two phases of competition. The first is a State Championship postal, where individuals and teams are ranked and awards given for each state. The second is a National Championship shoulder-to-shoulder championship for the top ten sporter and top ten precision teams who win state championships. The 2003 national team winners were the Timber Wolves precision team and Bogalusa HS sporter team. Teams that qualify for the nationals will receive travel assistance. The winning precision class team in the National Championship will again win a trip to Bisley, England to participate in the British National Championship. Do not delay - get your target orders in now to be a part of this exciting event.

Have a nice day!
