Happy New Year 2022

Posted By on January 1, 2022

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022

We hope you all have a happy and rewarding 2022. Enjoy a year of safe and fun shooting. My editorial in the Winter 2021 issue, Volume 45 of Junior Shooters magazine, is included below: some thoughts, and a big THANK YOU to all of you!

Big game hunting season is at its end. The competition shooting season is slowed. The outdoors is cold and blustery for many, and they may decide to shoot indoors or practice with lasers, airsoft, or dryfire. It’s time to reload and get your gear ready for next year. That holiday present you are going to get (or already got depending on when you read this) might be a new gun, reloader, new gloves, camo gear, or ammunition. (Make sure you have safety flags for all your guns and don’t forget the safety locks!)

It wouldn’t hurt to take moment to think about the past year. What went wrong? What went right? How can I do better, both personally and with my shooting? Are there people that I should be thanking for providing the wonderful experiences I have had shooting this past year? Remember, you are not alone. Who you are and who you become is mostly up to you, but it is impacted by everything you learn, the people you meet, the interactions you have, and especially, how you conduct yourself. Sometimes I think, “Did I say that?” “Could I have been a better person?”

I give thanks to all those I have met this year and how you have shaped my life and guided me. The new writers we have, the new shooters, the coaches, the parents, those stories I read and tips on our Instagram page and the ones we get from shooters across the country; they help give meaning to my life.

At the end of October, I received a call from one of your juniors who has been in the Navy for the last three years. He said, “The experience, training, and life skills I learned from Junior Shooters has filled my life with joy. What you taught me provided me with more safety and firearms training than I have received anywhere. I have qualified over 3,000 seamen in the M4 and M9. What you taught me gave me the confidence I needed. Learning life skills, reviewing products, writing articles, and being part of the Junior Shooters team, and safely shooting 3-Gun competitions and practicing is more important than I could have known. Thank you.” I have had many such calls over the years and each one fills my heart with joy.

I am sure all of you that are coaches and parents have had such experiences. To hear such positive feedback is so rewarding. I feel so blessed to know that this year I made a difference, and all those involved in teaching, writing, coaching, supporting the shooting sports, providing guidance, and those family members supporting each of us are making a difference.

I thank you.

How To Form a Marksmanship Team, From Someone Who’s Done It

Posted By on December 13, 2021

Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) logo and link

By Ashley Brugnone, CMP Staff Writer

As part of its mission, the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) has been dedicated to the development and longevity of youth shooting sports around the country. With several junior programs currently established in each state, aspiring young marksmen are fortunate to have a number of venues available to continue their growth – yet, there’s always room for more.

The American Legion Post 295 Marksmanship Team currently consists of 13 athletes, ages 8 to 15.

The thought of starting a team can be daunting, but one new coach local to Camp Perry, where ­the CMP Headquarters is located, knows what it’s like to form a fresh group of athletes from the ground up and gives his own advice on how others may do the same.

Muzik says having a strategic plan in place will greatly help the success of a start-up.

Matt Muzik of Green Springs, Ohio, is the head coach of the American Legion Post 295 Marksmanship Team – newly created in June 2020. Currently, the team is comprised of 13 athletes, ages 8 to 15, an assistant coach and five board members. The group competes in 60 shot and three-position air rifle, 60 shot pistol and smallbore.

“I love helping kids, and the reward you get is something money can’t buy,” Muzik said. “One of the biggest reasons I started a team was because of my daughter, Claudia Muzik, and her passion for this sport.”

Muzik’s interest began through watching his daughter, Claudia (pictured here), in her own marksmanship journey.

Muzik has been working hard at being a marksmanship leader for nearly a decade now. Over the last eight years, he has been certified as a Level 2 NRA coach and has a background check for both USA Shooting Safe Sport and American Legion Safe Sport. He was also involved with the Ottawa County Shooting Stars, a local Camp Perry team, for about five years.

“I enjoy watching these kids grow and mature as athletes and as young adults,” he said.

Matt Muzik, with the help of others, formed the American Legion Post 295 Marksmanship Team in June 2020.

His green American Legion program has been, to say the least, thriving in the area – so much so that he even has a waiting list of kids, with 40 individuals trying out for the single open spot available this year.

“Starting this program from scratch was very difficult,” Muzik admitted.

Challenges along the way for Muzik included setting up bi-laws, something he wish he had an understanding of prior to setting up the team and instituting a training plan to ensure an effective program – along with the usual trials and tribulations brought on with anything new.

“I’ve been able to keep the team growing by growing myself and challenging myself and the athletes each and every day,” he admitted.

Muzik was able to incorporate fundraising efforts that equipped his team with gear, rifles and electronic targets.

A piece of advice Muzik has is to make a cost sheet on all the required equipment needed to be productive and to have a strategic plan to obtain it. He also says it’s important to learn where matches are located and to come up with a program that can put interested athletes on a positive path toward college.

Muzik went on to say he owes a lot of thanks to Diane and Gregg Rice, CMP’s Indiana State Directors, who have their own marksmanship program, The X Count. The duo, who met Muzik through a match at The X Count and at several other events since, were instrumental in assisting the American Legion Post 295 team with finding gear and funding to get off the ground and even donated their used equipment.

One of the most important resources a start-up can have is talking with others who have already gone through the same process.

“I sat down with them (Diane and Gregg) multiple times to discuss starting a team and the things needed to be successful,” Muzik said. “Any team looking to start up, there is a lot of experienced teams that will help you be successful to grow this sport.”

With a reputation of aiding teams from all over the country in getting their programs started, Diane Rice and The X Count know the tips and tools that work – and sharing her knowledge with others has become a great gratification in her coaching career.

“It is one of the very rewarding things that we do and one of the best ways we can grow the sport,” she said.

“Always strive to be better. Never stop learning,” said Diane Rice of The X Count.

In the past, Rice has stressed the importance of fundraising for starter teams, saying it is critically important to their progress. She says it’s important to know your market – that is, realize what goes best with your target patrons.

“Funding is one of the biggest things people struggle with,” Rice said. “There are some fundamental principles that can be followed, but, more importantly, know that every community is different. You have to know the characteristics of your audience to be successful at raising funds.”

She added, “Your mindset is critical as well. Adopt an abundance rather than a scarcity mindset.”

Muzik has been able to effectively incorporate fundraising efforts like beach matches, selling decals and t-shirts and asking local business for help – all of which have raised enough to outfit the entire team with gear and rifles. In fact, he did so well with business donations that he was able to buy six electronic targets for his team’s use.

Rice has also suggested getting creative and taking advantage of the knowledge that can be gained from talking to existing programs. Being open to learning from others who were once in the same position can be advantageous to both teams and the marksmanship community as a whole.

“There are many people out there who want to help,” Rice said. “There is a great deal of wealth in the world, and it is available to even your little new program. Most people think that if someone gives to another cause, it means they won’t give to them. On the contrary, the greatest predictor of future giving is past giving.”

Muzik and Rice have both suggested looking into larger organizations dedicated to supporting youth shooting sports through funding, endowments and programs like Friends of the NRA, the MidwayUSA Foundation and, of course, the CMP.

“I enjoy watching these kids grow and mature as athletes and as young adults,” Muzik said.

The CMP’s State Director program in particular was designed to enhance youth marksmanship around the country and exists to give others a place to start when forming a new team. There are many others like Rice open to discussion on how to begin the conversation and are happy to aid those ready to make the commitment. Contact and other information on each state’s director can be found on the CMP website at https://thecmp.org/training-tech/state-director/.

“Talk to everyone – think long term and short term,” Rice said. “Always strive to be better. Never stop learning.”

CMP Hosts Ohio Civil Air Patrol Cadets at Camp Perry in October 2021

Posted By on November 15, 2021

Ohio holds 25 cadet Civilian Air Patrol components, with almost half attending the event at Camp Perry in October.

By Ashley Brugnone, CMP Staff Writer

CAMP PERRY, OH – On Oct. 9, 2021, the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) welcomed cadets from 12 Ohio Civil Air Patrol squadrons at the Camp Perry National Guard Training Site’s Petrarca Range and the Gary Anderson CMP Marksmanship Center, where the group participated in a day of learning.

Led by CMP Highpower team member, Danny Arnold, CMP smallbore manager, Brad Donoho and CMP education and training manager, Steve Cooper, the instruction focused on safety and basic rifle shooting fundamentals. The young cadets participated in

Danny Arnold, who is a member of CAP, gave classroom demonstrations to cadets before heading to the range.

classroom instruction and live practice using .22 caliber rifles at 50 yards, firing on sandbags for stability. The event concluded with a 40-shot qualification match.

“I thought the event went well,” said Arnold, who is an adult member of Oklahoma’s Civil Air Patrol Wing. “As usual, there were a few cadets who had never touched a firearm before, but they learned a lot.”

The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) is a civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force that was established in 1938, in the years preceding World War II. The core missions of CAP are emergency response services, such as search and rescue/disaster relief, aerospace education and youth cadet programs. CAP also conducts 90 percent of inland search and rescue in the U.S. – equipped with the largest fleet of single-engine planes in the world at over 500. The program is congressionally chartered and operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. Currently, there are 25 squadrons in the Ohio Wing, with a cadet component and over 66,000 youth and adult members nationwide.

Steve Cooper, CMP’s education and training manager, guided cadets on the range as they participated in live-fire practice.

“I think CMP’s mission dovetails with CAP in that we are reaching out to youth in a way that exposes them to the shooting sports in a responsible way. Responsible marksmanship focuses on self-control, improvement and learning new things,” Arnold said.

Arnold has been involved with CAP since 2009 and holds the rank of Major in the Oklahoma Wing. There, he ran a marksmanship program for about five years while also helping out with the Kansas Wing.

“I had college friends who had been members when they were younger and wished I had known about it,” he said. “When my son was old enough to join, he became interested and I followed along.”

The CAP event was held within the classrooms of the Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center and on the firing line of Petrarca Range – all located at Camp Perry.

Recently, the CMP Board of Directors learned of CAP’s cadet program and reached out to CAP National, located at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama. Arnold briefed CMP Board members about CAP’s mission, history and what his experiences have been with the program. They were impressed and instructed him to reach out to the Ohio and Alabama Wings to see if he could coordinate a youth training session.

“We, CMP, should be seeking out opportunities like this,” said Arnold. “CMP already has partnerships with other youth organizations, and CAP is a large one to partner with.”

CMP’s smallbore manager, Brad Donoho, also helped lead fundamental instruction during the day.

Covering all 50 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, CAP is composed of eight geographic regions consisting of 52 wings. Its cadet program attracts youth ages 12 through 20, which makes up around 10 percent of the U.S. Air Force Academy’s classes. Members of CAP also have the opportunity to earn college scholarships in several different disciplines and may even enter the Air Force at a higher pay grade.

The CAP cadets fired .22 rifles off of sandbags to ensure stability and safety while training.

“CAP is a well-kept secret, kind of like CMP,” Arnold explained. “The program is different for adults, but still quite rewarding. I’ve been part of an aircrew, helped out with the Moore, Oklahoma, tornado relief efforts, been involved in cadet programs and have been able to teach marksmanship – so it’s been a good experience.”

Networking and recruitment at Nationals:

Back by popular demand, high school athletes were invited to join the shoot, allowing them to compete in a separate high school competition. Intended as a useful opportunity for coaches interested in meeting the next class of shooters, the integration of networking is now a mainstay of College Nationals. Additionally, this gave rising athletes an opportunity to learn from college-level athletes and become familiar with college shooting programs throughout the nation.

Next up at the Cardinal Shooting Center: SCTP Olympic Training Camps and SCTP National Championships:

In addition to SCTP College Nationals, the Cardinal Shooting Center is also home to SCTP Olympic Training Camps, Spring Regional Championships, and July’s SCTP National Championship, the biggest shoot in Cardinal Center history. In the previous season’s event, over 2.2 million rounds were safely fired as teams of junior shooting sports athletes stepped to the line at their National Championships in an attempt to make it to the podium under the grandstand lights. The 2022 SCTP National Championship kicks off July 9th with the International Skeet and Trap events, followed by American disciplines, side games, and awards through the 16th.
