Help CMP Develop an M1 Carbine Match. The CMP Board recently au?thorized the development of an M1 Carbine Match that will become a new CMP Games event. Current CMP Games events are the John C. Garand Match, Springfield Match, Vintage Military Rifle Match, M16 EIC Match and Rimfire Sporter Match. The CMP solicits recommendations from inter?ested shooters regarding what the course of fire for the new CMP Carbine Match should be. A Carbine Match was actually part of the National Matches in the 1950s. Also, several CMP-affiliated clubs have staged car?bine events of their own and may have learned lessons that could help the CMP develop its new Carbine Match. The course of fire must, of course, be specifically designed for the M1 Carbine and its relatively low-velocity 110 grain bullet loads. What are the ideal distance(s) for this rifle? What target should be used? What firing positions and types of fire should be included? Anyone who would like to provide input into this development process is invited to submit recommendations and comments to CMP staff member Deborah Boyle,
