Anniston, AL -(AmmoLand.com)- The 2015 CMP National Three Position Air Rifle Championships will be held June 21-23 and June 24-26 at the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) South Competition Center in Anniston, Ala. to a group of over 350 hopeful junior marksmen in search of a National Title.

Competitors, families and friends will be traveling to the state to witness the last stage of an event that has spanned nearly eight months.

Junior JROTC, 4-H and club team precision and sporter marksmen involved in the competition began their journey with the CMP Postal Competition in November, where CMP-issued targets were mailed into Headquarters in Ohio for official scoring. Top shooters in the Postal Competition were invited to compete in the Regional Championships in March and April, with the overall high individuals and teams from that match qualifying for the National Championship.

The event is free and open to the public. All are welcome to come and witness some of the most talented junior marksmen in the country and to marvel at the top-of-the-line competitive shooting technology used throughout the duration of the match.
