I use these articles in our high power clinics and have found them very helpful for both new shooters and reinforcement of the basics for the more experienced.
Thanks, Gary M.
Thanks for the great articles on the Carbine, Springfield, Garand matches. All the articles are interesting, but the Carbine, Springfield & Garand are my favorites.

The September-07 on line shooting tips by SSG Tobie Tomlinson, USAMU Service Rifle Team Member, is a great article. I have reproduced 15 copies of it to hand out and discuss to our “newbie” first year air rifle shooters on our high school JROTC Air Rifle Team. Come to think about it believe I’ll hand out a copy to my advance shooters as well. His explanations are simple to understand but rich in detail. Coupled with the sight pictures this article will go a long way towards helping all our JROTC shooters obtain better sight patterns. Keep up the great work. AND…..keep the articles like this coming.

It seemed good to read the article on Infantry Trophy Match. As a shooter on the Marine Corp Team way back in 1967 I participated in the Match. We were the second team for the Marines but placed second overall. One of our shooters forgot to put the windage on his rifle. I enjoyed shooting the M-1 and M-14 at Camp Perry and always wanted to go back but never seemed to find the time. The top over all shooter at that time was my team mate Lt. Bowen. I remember some of the team members carrying him from the 600 yd line back to the rest of us. It was a great time in my life and will never forget it. Thanks again for the article.

Great articles. Great to identify those who are participating as well as those who are working behind the scenes to make the whole of the National Matches run so well.

This is a special note just for my friends at the CMP, I want to thank you all for your hard work and attention to details, it's a great program!
"You help our shooting dreams come true!"
Best Regards,

CMP,
Your review of the CMP EIC brought back good memories. My son and I usually participate in the rifle event. This was the first time we participated in the pistol event. Our experience was positive and we have decided to come back and do it again next year!

I don't think that I have taken the time lately to thank you and the CMP for your faithfulness in keeping me updated on all of the CMP news. I thank you and your staff very much for the fine job you are all doing.
Many thanks, and keep up the great work!

Your article titled "Rifle Cleaning and Maintenance" was so timely. I am a novice rifle shooter, and the information is just what I needed. The owner's manual that came with my rifle is far too sketchy and assumes the new owner is experienced. This is concise yet detailed enough to make me comfortable cleaning my firearm.
Regards,
Jane W.
Cleaning a rifle or handgun is not a lot of fun. The article on cleaning the rifle met the K.I.S.S. principle that I can relate to and understand. To the point.

Thank you for this excellent e-newsletter. The links and information are great.
Sincerely,
John B.

CMP Announces Two New Program Managers
By Sommer Wood, CMP Writer/Editor
|
CMP Staff Member Taking Over Several Key Junior Programs
 |
Dana Bacak-Lynd was recently promoted to Program Manager at CMP.
Several of her new program responsibilities are related to juniors including Postal Match Administration, tracking Three-Position Air Rifle National Records, Junior EIC Points and sanctioning Three-Position Air Rifle Matches. All are key programs in CMP’s mission in the advancement of juniors in shooting sports.
Ms.
Lynd began working for CMP in 1999 as a Sales Associate while completing her Associates Degree in Accounting, and later her Bachelors in Business Management. After two years in Sales she transferred to the
CMP Finance Department. Most recently she was a Program Coordinator, where she first became involved with junior programs. She now has over four years of experience working with programs related to Three-Position Air Rifle.
In welcoming Lynd to her new Program Manager position, CMP Director Gary
Anderson noted that in her new role Lynd will be able to make even more important contributions to junior shooting as well as
to the other programs that she will now manage for CMP.
Dana Bacak-Lynd may be reached by email at dbacak@odcmp.com, or by phone at 419-635-2141 ext 1123.
New Manager Takes Over State Junior Director Program
 |
There is a new face to the CMP State Junior Directors program and it belongs to Vicki Donoho. While Donoho is a new CMP staff member, she is not new to the CMP. She has four years of experience as a counselor with the CMP Three-Position Air Rifle Summer Camps. She joins her husband, Brad Donoho, who was hired for the
CMP Camp Riflery Manager position in July.
Like her husband, Vicki is a recent graduate of the University of Kentucky where she shot for the school’s NCAA Rifle team. Both an accomplished student and athlete, Vicki was a five-time All-American, Rookie-of-the-Year in all sports at Kentucky in 2003, USAS National Champion in Smallbore, National Team Member, Gold Medal Winner in the Championship of the Americas, National Junior Olympic Champion and
a Cum Laude graduate in 2006 with a Bachelors in Biology. Her extensive shooting experience will enable her to bring new growth to the junior programs she will be overseeing.
In addition to the State Junior Directors Program, Vicki will also be involved with the National Three-Position Air Rifle Council and the Three-Position Air Rifle Rules Hotline. Please join us in welcoming Vicki to the CMP family.
Vicki Donoho may be reached at vdonoho@odcmp.com, or by phone at 419-635-2141 ext 1102.
