The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) has wrapped up its Home Range Appreciation Series – a set of postal-style rifle, pistol, smallbore and air rifle events that began in June and ran throughout the summer months. The event was created to supplement the cancelled 2020 National Trophy Rifle and Pistol Matches.

Open to both adult and junior athletes, the Home Range Appreciation Series events were fired in local club matches and scored by the CMP to be compared against overall scores from participating marksmen around the nation. Matches included the White Oak 1600 Rifle Aggregate (two 800 aggregates), a 200-Yard Reduced Course 800 Rifle Aggregate, a Garand/Springfield/Vintage/Modern Military Rifle Match, Rimfire Sporter Rifle, CMP Pistol 2700 (featuring .22 Rimfire, Center Fire and 45 Caliber pistols), Smallbore 3x20, Smallbore Prone 3200 and air rifle 3x20 and 60 Shot matches.

In total, 11 smallbore events, 33 air rifle, 9 GSMM rifle, 13 Highpower Rifle Aggregate, 2 pistol and 4 Rimfire Sporter rifle events were fired in 32 different states. Nearly 1,500 entries were recorded throughout the events.
