All shots are instantly displayed on monitors beside each participant as well as on display screens visible to spectators around the range.


The Gary Anderson CMP Competition Center holds two Laser Shot Simulators, programed with hundreds of range and target scenarios in rifle, pistol and shotgun formats. These systems are available for the public to use anytime the facility open.
