IAWCA CMP MATCHES

The IAWCA CMP matches are a great opportunity for shooters to hone their rifle shooting skills. It does not matter if you are a long time rifle match shooter or a first time rifle match participant; it is a fun way to become more proficient with your rifle. These matches are for service rifles (AR 15/M16, M1A/M14, M1 Garand). Matches can be shot with bolt guns but you will need to be able to use stripper clips to reload rapidly. We do have an open class that will allow you to shoot any rifle.

We do offer prize money for seasonal high aggregate scores for service rifle ($50) and M1 Garand ($50) it is possible for one person to get both of these prizes and has happened in the past.

The 2016 rules will, for the first time, permit M16/AR15-type rifles to have optical sights with a maximum magnification of 4.5X. Legal scopes can be fixed power or variable, but the maximum power of variable scopes may not exceed 4.5X. Scopes will have to be manufactured with a maximum 4.5X magnification and have an objective lens no larger than 34 mm.

IAWCA does have 2 Club AR 15’s and 1 M1 Garand for club members to use in club matches, you must use club ammo in these rifles and reimburse replacement cost or use approved factory ammo. I need to know in advance if someone wants to use club rifles to make necessary arrangements.

Shooting in these matches meet part of the qualifications to purchase rifles from the CMP.
