We’re proud to share this from our partners at the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP).

Walther remains committed to supporting the programs, competitions, and educational efforts that help strengthen marksmanship in the United States.

The future of our sport depends on developing athletes, supporting coaches, and building strong programs at every level. The CMP continues to lead important work in that space, and we are proud to be aligned with them in that mission.

We appreciate everything the CMP does for junior athletes, coaches, clubs, and the greater competitive shooting community.

CMP Set to Host Coach Development Clinic June 27

ANNISTON, Ala. – The CMP is thrilled to announce the first session of its new Coach Development Program, set to be held June 27 at the Judith Legerski CMP Competition Center in Anniston.

Developed by staff members after several requests by CMP State Directors, the program will provide enhanced training for coaches already out on the ranges as well as instructional fundamentals for new coaches.

Each clinic will be approximately two hours, focusing on three-position and Standing Air Rifle instruction led by our Training & Education Manager, Hank Gray.

A lot of shooters still know the Hämmerli name, but may not realize it is part of the CARL WALTHER GmbH family today.

Walther acquired the Hämmerli trademarks in 2006, and the AP20 and AP20 Pro continue that tradition as part of our competition air pistol lineup.

The Hämmerli AP20 is a great fit for new precision pistol shooters, junior programs, clubs, school programs, and anyone looking to get started in 10-meter air pistol with a real match-style platform. It’s lightweight, adjustable, and built to grow with the shooter.

The AP20 Pro takes it a step further with upgraded match features, including a 3D walnut grip, integrated pressure gauge, adjustable match trigger, and refined sight options.

Whether you’re building a junior program, adding club equipment, or stepping into precision air pistol for the first time, the AP20 and AP20 Pro deserve a serious look.
