General InformationWe encourage new shooters and experience shooters to join us.The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) promotes firearms safety training and rifle practice for all U.S. citizens with special emphasis on youth. The CMP operates through a network of affiliated shooting clubs and associations that covers every state in the U.S. The clubs and associations offer firearms safety training and marksmanship courses as well as the opportunity for continued practice and competition. Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club (LPRGC) is such an affiliate.The CMP was created by the U.S. Congress. The original purpose was to provide civilians an opportunity to learn and practice marksmanship skills so they would be skilled marksmen if later called on to serve the U.S. military. Over the years the emphasis of the program shifted to focus on youth development through marksmanship. From 1916 until 1996 the CMP was administered by the U.S. Army. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996 (TITLE XVI) created the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice & Firearms Safety, Inc. (CPRPFS) to take over administration and promotion of the CMP. The CPRPFS is a tax-exempt not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that derives its mission from public law. To promote safety and rifle marksmanship, the LPRGC CMP has regular shoots on the 2nd Saturday of each month at the New Holland Rifle & Pistol Club.

Shoots
The LPRGC CMP has regular shoots on the 2nd Saturday of each month at the New Holland Rifle & Pistol Club. Plan on arriving before 9:00 AM for registration, training (new shooters), and setting up the targets. The shoot usually finishes around 1:00 PM. If the weather is too inclement to shoot, we have indoor training/coaching sessions instead. There will be no session if there are hazardous driving conditions. The course of fire is:
We shoot on the 100 yard range, but for new juniors, the distance can be reduced to 50 yards for a more positive experience. All juniors shoot for free. The cost for adults is $8 for the shoot, and adults may purchase 60 rounds of .30-'06 or .223 ammo for $16.00, which must be used at the shoot. We encourage both inexperienced and experienced shooters to come and join us for an enjoyable and safe shooting experience. We use a coaching program where our experienced shooters coach any inexperienced shooters. Directions to the New Holland Rifle and Pistol ClubFrom PA Turnpike:
