STARKE, FL – -(AmmoLand.com)- Thanks to some great training assistance from the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit (USAMU) and dozens of eager-to-learn participants at the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) stand-alone Small Arms Firing School (SAFS), four students-turned-competitors walked away with introductory Excellence-In-Competition (EIC) points on Sunday, November 4. The class included 11 juniors and 38 of all ages who participated in a CMP event for the first time.

The top 10 percent of the 41 who completed the class and match earned introductory points toward receiving a Distinguished Rifleman badge, one of the most sought-after awards highpower rifle shooters can aspire to achieve. Thirty EIC points, grouped in clusters of “legs” are required to earn the badge, which sometimes takes months, years or decades to attain or for many, never. The CMP SAFS course is the only source for earning a four-point intro leg.
