Hey there, fellow shooting sports lovers! If you’ve been keeping an eye on the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP), you’re in for a treat. They’ve just rolled out a direct membership program starting at just $65! This means that gun owners like us can now meet CMP purchasing requirements without the hassle of joining a separate affiliate club. Pretty neat, right?

What’s New with CMP Membership?

The new direct membership option is all about making life easier for those of us who are passionate about our rifles. Now, instead of jumping through hoops to join affiliated clubs, you can simply sign up for a CMP membership and be on your way to satisfying those purchasing requirements. Talk about simplifying the process!

Silver and Gold Membership Benefits

But wait, there’s more! If you’re thinking of going above and beyond, consider opting for the Silver or Gold memberships. Not only do these tiers come with extra perks, but they also allow you expanded annual purchase limits. This is especially exciting if you’re eyeing that surplus M14 rifle sale coming up. Who doesn't love a good deal on quality firearms?
