The CMP High Power Rifle Match is a rifle competition held at the Idaho High Power Range in Mountain Home. High Power rifle matches follow standardized courses of fire that test accuracy and shooting skill at various distances, typically including slow-fire, rapid-fire, and sustained-fire stages. Competitors shoot from prone, sitting, and standing positions at paper targets. The match starts at 7:00 AM, so plan to arrive early for registration and setup. Matches are organized by the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) and attract shooters of varying experience levels. Bring adequate ammunition for practice and competition stages—typically 60-80 rounds depending on the specific match format. The Mountain Home range is located at elevation with variable weather conditions, so dress appropriately for May conditions in Idaho.
