About Eastern CMP Games:
The Eastern Games boasts an assortment of CMP’s own modern and vintage military rifle competitions, like the Springfield, Rimfire Sporter, Carbine, and John C. Garand Matches. Like other Travel Games events, those competing in the John C. Garand Match with As-Issued M1 Rifles will have the chance to earn a GCA (Garand Collectors Association) Master Marksman medal – based on performance at designated events.
Eastern Games also presents CMP’s growing field of pistol opportunities, like Centerfire, .45 and .22 Pistol 900 Aggregates, and a Service Revolver EIC Match, as well as CMP Cup Rifle Matches, comprised of 4-Man Team, 80 Shot, and EIC Rifle competitions. The CMP Cup Matches are ideal for those in search of a Distinguished Rifleman Badge or those looking to compete against some of the best shots in the country – though everyone is welcome to participate.
