There are also longer, overnight, drives organized periodically throughout the year. Drives are open to AL PCA Region Members. Membership information: PCA Membership

Bring your family! For more about CMP, click here. Our event will include unrestricted access, managed by the CMP range officers, to ranges 1,2, and 4. Click here for a range map. **Restrictions are small, no .50 BMG and let’s not complicate the day with black powder on our first event. Outside of that, any legal handgun or long gun (air rifles, too) is able to be enjoyed. The $25 per person event fee covers all usage fees on these ranges. The facility does have a Pro-Shop on site with firearms, accessories, and ammunition. You are not required to purchase and use ammunition from the facility, bring your own as you choose. Restrictions here are simple, if you can purchase the ammunition from a local big box store you can shoot it, nothing unique such as tracers, incendiary, armor piercing and the like. Should you desire and for an extra charge, CMP has a 15 station, one mile loop, sporting clays area. We will have a private meeting room for the classroom portion and to store your gear. There are plenty of lunch options close by, or you can bring a picnic. A BIG thanks to the man, the myth, the legend – our very own Rodney McFarland (of Porsche Birmingham fame) for putting this together.
