My brother wants to do CMP

[Jabtime]

My brother wanted to do CMP with M1 Carbines and AR15s and stuff like that. I believe the age limit is 11? Just making sure.



Thanks!

From the CMP rulebook...


4.4 Age Limits
Any one who participates in a CMP-sponsored or sanctioned event must be capable of safely handling a rifl e or pistol that is legal for the event and of safely completing the event course of fi re. The following age limits are established to ensure that participants in CMP-sponsored or sanctioned competitions are capable of handling their fi rearms safely.

4.4.1 Pistol National Trophy and EIC Matches
CMP Pistol National Trophy and Excellence-In-Competition Matches are open
to civilian and service competitors 16 years of age or older.

4.4.5 Other Sanctioned Matches

4.4.6 Age Restriction Waivers
The CMP or sanctioned match sponsors may waive the age requirement upon
the presentation of evidence that the applicant can provide satisfactory proof of having demonstrated the ability to safely complete the course of fi re to be used in that event by completing an appropriate training course with actual range firing or having successfully competed in other similar shooting competitions.

For $40, you can sign up for the pistol small arms firing school. Pistol and ammo provided. Or look into the rifle small arms firing school, same deal.

We (Bellwood Sportsmans) had an 8-year old young lady shoot in all but one match one year using a 16-inch AR. She is now 11 and is using both the M1 Carbine and the AR.
