The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) will be conducting a Small Arms Firing School (SAFS) for both Rifle and Pistol in Eagle Creek, Oregon May 14th & 15th, 2022. This is the same school that is taught annually during the National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio each summer. The United States Army Marksmanship Unit (AMU) conducts the schools during the National Matches and will be sending instructors to Eagle Creek for these schools.
Check-in for both rifle and pistol is on Saturday at 7:00 AM, classes begin at 8:00 AM.
The Rifle SAFS will be held at Douglas Ridge Rifle Club. Check-in Saturday, May 14th, 7:00, classroom instruction begins at 8:00, followed by practice firing at 200 yards with the aid of experienced competitors providing coaching on the line.
Sunday, all participants will fire a 40 shot "Excellence in Competition" (leg) Match. The top 10% of the non-distinguished competitors without any "leg" points, will be awarded their first 4 points towards their Distinguished Rifleman's Badge. All rifles and ammunition will be provided by the CMP. This school will be fired on electronic targets eliminating the need for pit duty.
The Pistol SAFS will be held at Estacada Rod & Gun Club. Check-in on Saturday, May 14th, at 7:00 AM. Classroom instruction begins at 8:00, followed by practice firing. Participants will then fire an "Excellence in Competition" (leg) match.

Proceeding the SAFSs, Friday, May 13th the CMP will conduct a Range Officers School at Douglas Ridge Rifle Club. Rifle in the morning and Pistol during the afternoon. This is a chance to learn what it takes to operate a range during a competition.
To register for any of the three events, go to the CMP website thecmp.org. The SAFSs are listed under Education, then Marksmanship 101, and choose the school of choice by clicking on the host club. The Range Officer's course is under Education, then Range Officers School.
