U.S. citizens with special emphasis on youth. \u00a0The CMP operates through a network of affiliated shooting clubs and associations that covers every state in the U.S. The clubs and associations offer firearms safety training and marksmanship courses as well as the opportunity for continued practice and competition. \u00a0Lower Providence Rod &amp; Gun Club (LPRGC) is such an affiliate.<\/p>\n<p>The CMP was created by the U.S. Congress. \u00a0The 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 the U.S. military. \u00a0Over the years the emphasis of the program shifted to focus on youth development through marksmanship. \u00a0From 1916 until 1996 the CMP was administered by the U.S. Army. \u00a0The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996 (TITLE XVI) created the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice &amp; Firearms Safety, Inc. (CPRPFS) to take over administration and promotion of the CMP. The CPRPFS is a tax-exempt not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that derives its mission from public law.<\/p>\n<p>For information on the purchase of an M1 Garand contact CMP National Headquarters at (888) 267-0796 or visit their web site at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.odcmp.com\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.odcmp.com<\/a>.\u00a0 LPRGC can assist if you want to buy one- we are an affiliated Club and have the paperwork necessary to meet the purchase requirements set by the CMP Organization.<\/p>\n<h3>Special Events:<\/h3>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"6\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><strong>&#8220;Wood Gun&#8221; Match<\/strong><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">TBD in the Fall &#8211; We will follow the Garand Match Rules at our regular shoot. \u00a0WWII rifles recommended.\u00a0 This match will take the place of the Non-Sanctioned Match that Saturday<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><strong>National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">July\/August &#8211; The LPRGC CMP Program is pleased to announce that they will reimburse any LPRGC Club Member for the registration costs for participation at the Camp Perry National Matches.\u00a0 Some restrictions apply; contact Mark Harvill for details (<a href=\"mailto:Rifle@LPRGC.org\">Rifle@LPRGC.org<\/a>)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>For more information, visit the LPRGC web site at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lprgc.org\/\">www.lprgc.org<\/a>, or contact:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5>David Horvath, CMP Match Director at <a href=\"mailto:CMP@lprgc.org\">CMP@LPRGC.org<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>Mark Harvill, LPRGC Rifle Chairman at <a href=\"mailto:Rifle@LPRGC.org\">Rifle@LPRGC.org<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lprgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image0.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7288 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/lprgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image0-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"733\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lprgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image0-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/lprgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image0.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 733px) 100vw, 733px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/lprgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image6-rotated.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7289 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/lprgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image6-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"397\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lprgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image6-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/lprgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image6-rotated.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lprgc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_2626-rotated.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Equipment Needs] [Equipment Sources] [CMP Books] Match Results: 8\/1\/26 Match Results Link 9\/5\/26 Match Results Link &nbsp; LPRGC held it&#8217;s second-ever Sanctioned CMP Match on Saturday, September 5th with a completely full line of 10 shooters.\u00a0 Andrew Schildt took top honors again with a 493\/500 with 21 X&#8217;s.\u00a0 Special mention to our own Justin Schildt, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":8,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-30","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lprgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/30","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lprgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lprgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lprgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lprgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=30"}],"version-history":[{"count":47,"href":"https:\/\/lprgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/30\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8198,"href":"https:\/\/lprgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/30\/revisions\/8198"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lprgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lprgc.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
