Full description and what we offer
York Riflemen runs a full calendar of sanctioned matches in York, Pennsylvania. Their primary focus is high-power rifle competition, with regular CMP John C. Garand matches (Course A) and CMP 800 AGG non-EIC events throughout the shooting season. Recent competitors have brought classic rifles like the Springfield M1903A3 and Garand rifles to earn top scores.
The club hosts monthly CMP-sanctioned high-power matches, typically on Sundays. Events include:
- •CMP John C. Garand Match (Course A) - Spring and fall seasons
- •CMP 500 AGG non-EIC - 500-yard aggregate competition
- •CMP 800 AGG non-EIC - 800-yard aggregate events
- •Memorial Trophy Match - August seasonal event
Recent 2025 season matches show consistent participation with competitors achieving scores like 281-5 on the Springfield rifle line. The club also competes at larger venues like Camp Perry, where York Riflemen members participate in the Hearst Doubles match and NTT (National Team Trials).
