Civilian Marksmanship Program

I am interested in picking up a M1 Garand. I am looking into the CMP. It appears that you have to be a member of of a CMP affiliated organization in order to qualify to purchase from them. I am looking for some suggestions on good clubs that are easy to join in north east Indiana. My main goal is to qualify with the CMP in order to buy a rifle. But it would be an added bonus to get involved with a club with good people to chat with and from whom I can learn a few things.

The Indiana State Rifle and Pistol Association is one such club that fills the bill.

Most ranges are affiliated. Join and you get to shoot. Pretty simple

You need to talk to sloughfoot. He has all the information you will need to join a club and pick up a Garand.

Revolutionary War Veterans Association is another affiliated org.

Look into it because I may be wrong but The Appleseed project may be a triple wammy for you. Great fun along with marksmanship and history education, plus IIRC the 2 day event qualifies as the CMP training requirement and membership in the revolutionary war vetrans association qualifies as an organization membership. Again, this is 3+ year old memory so I could be really wrong. I know attending the 2 day event meets the training requirement, I'm not sure about the RWVA membership thing.

Our Garand match is in September. There will be loaner rifles.

Also the match tomorrow is rimfire at 200 yards and centerfire at 300 yards. Any/Any. Stop out and meet the guys, even if you don't shoot.

This ^^ is what I did, $25 for a year membership to the Garand Collectors, LTCH covers the shooting part. Your next decision will be to mail it in or go pick it up at the north store.
