About Talladega Marksmanship Park:

Talladega Marksmanship Park, located in Talladega, Ala., has been CMP’s premier “Home of Marksmanship” for the last decade. With 500 acres of public outdoor space facilitating rifle, pistol, archery, shotgun and even an unknown distance range, the park is suited for those experienced within the sport as well as those just beginning. Talladega is open daily, all year long, and hosts local, regional and national competitions along with safety and fundamental courses for individuals eager to learn more about firearms.

The CMP’s dedication to staying at the forefront of marksmanship advancements provides guests to Talladega’s 600-yard outdoor range the ability to enjoy a full line of outdoor eTargets, powered by Kongsberg Target Systems (KTS) technology. Bridging accuracy and convenience, the range includes personal tablets at each firing point that allows users to change yard lines with the push of a button while instantly displaying shot placement in real-time – all without ever having to leave the comfort of the covered firing line.

Inside the 13,000-square-foot Club House, visitors may browse Talladega’s Pro Shop featuring equipment essentials, memorabilia, on-site commercial firearm sales and vintage rifle sales.

The Civilian Marksmanship Program is a federally chartered 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation that places its highest priority on firearms safety and marksmanship activities, with a focus on youth.
