Electronic targets, located on Ranges 1, 2 & 3 relay scores and reports shots instantly to shooter & spectator monitors & CMP database. Covered firing lines protect shooters from the elements and provide shelter for both participants and spectators. Shotgun enthusiasts may take advantage of 5-stand, trap fields and a sporting clays course featuring 15 challenging stations.
Located inside the beautiful Club House at Talladega, is the Creedmoor Sports Pro Shop. Featuring rifles, pistols and all your shooting supplies, the Pro Shop is open during park hours and ready to help assist you during your visit.
Here’s a list of events going on in December:
Weekly - Basic Pistol, Rifle and Shotgun Classes
Your invited to participate in our weekly classes on safe firearms handling and basic fundamentals in pistol, rifle and shotgun shooting. The classes will be hosted with both classroom training and live firing on the range. Materials will cover safety and firearms handling and hands on practical application conducted on the range. This education of firearms safety, firearms handling and application will help you to become a safer firearms owner and will help the CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park to be a safe and fun place for all marksmen. *New and experienced shooters are welcome. * Participants will need to bring their own firearms, ammunition, eye and ear protection.
As the most advanced shooting facility in the U.S., our electronic targets not only display shots on the monitors besides each firing point, large screen TVs in the Club House also display target shots. Our LIVE TARGETS are also available online at http://thecmp.org/competitions/live-targets/.
December 2nd – IDPA Match
The International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) is the governing body of a shooting sport that simulates self-defense scenarios and real life encounters. One of the unique facets of this sport is that it is geared toward the new or average shooter, yet is fun, challenging and rewarding for the experienced shooter. The founders developed the sport so that practical gear and practical guns may be used competitively. An interested person can spend a minimal amount on equipment and still be competitive. The main goal is to test the skill and ability of the individual, not equipment or gamesmanship.
