CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park Plans were approved in March 2012 by the CMP Board of Directors for a 500-acre marksmanship park located 2 miles from the world-famous Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega County, Alabama. The new CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park is near completion and tentatively scheduled to open May 6, 2015. The new CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park will be open to public and will offer sport shooters opportunities to practice and participate in competitive events. In addition to range use, visitors can enroll in classes, purchase firearms accessories or just relax in a safe, comfortable environment at our range clubhouse and observe range activities via the closed circuit monitors. The Park will features a 600-yard rifle range with targets at 200, 300 and 600 yards, a 100-yard multi-purpose range and a 50-yard pistol range.
