About the CMP and CPRPFSA 1996 Act of Congress established the Corporation for thePromotion of Rifle Practice and Firearms Safety, Inc. (CPRPFS) toconduct the Civilian Marksmanship Program that was formerlyadministered by the U. S. Army Office of the Director of CivilianMarksmanship (ODCM). The CPRPFS is a federally chartered, taxexempt, not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) corporation that derives its missionfrom public law (Title 36 USC, §40701-40733).The CMP promotes firearms safety training and rifle practice forqualified U.S. citizens with a special emphasis on youth. The CMPdelivers its programs through affiliated shooting clubs andassociations, through CMP-trained and certified Master Instructorsand through cooperative agreements with national shooting sportsand youth-serving organizations.Federal legislation enacted in 1903 by the U.S. Congress andPresident Theodore Roosevelt created the National Board for thePromotion of Rifle Practice to foster improved marksmanshipamong military personnel and civilians. The original CMP purposewas to provide U. S. citizens with opportunities for riflemarksmanship practice and competition so they would be skilledmarksmen if later called to serve in the Armed Services. Thisgovernment supported marksmanship program came to be knownas the “civilian marksmanship program.”The National Matches, Excellence-In-Competition Matches andother competition programs have been important components ofthe CMP legacy since the early 1900s. The CMP promotes thesecompetitions as vital ways to foster, test and celebrate themarksmanship skills of U. S. citizens. They also are an establishedmeans of training shooting sports leaders who can instruct youth intarget shooting and promote marksmanship practice among U. S.citizens.
