Shooting USA says: “Competition has returned as America returns to normal.” The Talladega 600 was the venue for the Civilian Marksmanship Program. It brought competitors from all over the country, and they were all happy to be back shooting. The Talladega Marksmanship Park is the impressive home range for the CMP and hosts dozens of competitors. Shooting USA observed that this event was a welcome return back to normality. “After a year without competition, the Talladega600 offered days of shooting in matches with most anything you might have, from rimfires to High Power.” Shooters from all over the country drove down to Alabama to shoot, emptying their gun-safes.
