A NEW CMP PODCAST IS OUT!

In this episode, we speak with CMP's Hank Gray, who tells us more about one of the core aspects of the Civilian Marksmanship Program: education.

Gray arrived at the CMP after a long career within the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit and a full career that included national-level successes and even a few trips to the Paralympic Games as coach of Team USA.

Now, he's working to expand and improve our educational offerings through existing outlets and new initiatives already in the works. Whether a novice or expert, it's a great time to become involved in the sport!

Find this podcast through our website at https://thecmp.org/cmp-podcasts/, on our YouTube channel or wherever you get your podcasts!
