CAMP PERRY, Ohio -(Ammoland.com)- Register now for your chance to fire in one of the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) Garand-Springfield-Modern/Vintage Military (GSM) matches being held on the enhanced Petrarca Range at Camp Perry in May, June and November.

The GSM Match combines prone slow fire, prone from standing rapid fire and standing slow fire positions at 100 yards (using a NRA SR-1 100-yard target, which simulates 200 yards.).

Competitors in the event may use as-issued or modified M1 Garand, M1903 or M1903A3 Springfield or other Vintage Rifles that comply with CMP rules, along with Modern Military rifles, such as the AR-15.
