CHESHIRE COUNTY SHOOTING SPORTS EDUCATION FOUNDATION
A 501(c)(3) organization

Two organizations sanction Across the Course matches. The CMP (Civilian Marksmanship Program) and the NRA (National Rifle Association) operate with similar rules. The NRA rules tend to be rather forgiving as to Rifle and equipment used in match, the CMP requirements are more finite as to create fairness in available variations of allowable equipment. The CMP has its focus on “Service Rifle” competition. The rifles must conform to strict guidelines with current and previously recognized US military firearms as the model. The NRA allows a wide range of rifles including service rifles to be used in competition. There are also differences in the conduct of the match. However, the one item there is no separation between the organizations is SAFETY.
