The CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park - "THE HOME OF MARKSMANSHIP" – is where responsible firearm ownership, safety instruction and accuracy training reside inside a beautiful 500-acre facility. Located two miles from the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama, the CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park has something for all types of firearms and firearm owners. The park prides itself on its friendly, accommodating staff and the convenience of its outdoor electronic target line.

The cutting-edge electronic targets, located on Ranges 1 and 2, relay scores and report shots instantly to competitor and spectator monitors. Range 3 is equipped with turning pistol targets at 25 and 50 yards, while the versatile John C. Garand highpower rifle range offers 54 covered firing points and all-weather, electronically-scored targetry at 200, 300 and 600 yards. 

The park also features a 100-yard rifle range with the same innovative technology, plus an unknown distance range and 15 action pistol bays that are capable of accommodating a variety of competitions, including 3-Gun. 

For Shotgun enthusiasts, Talladega Marksmanship Park houses several structured areas featuring Trap, Skeet, 5-Stand Fields, a Wobble Trap and a 15-station Sporting Clays loop. Each area is maintained by CMP's own shotgun experts and is furnished with top-of-the-line equipment for guests to enjoy.

The Archery Range at Talladega is located on the shotgun side of the grounds and outfitted with a 30×60-yard practice range and 20 lanes of life-size 3-D targets, specially painted to resemble live animals in their natural habitat. The foam Delta-McKenzie targets (typically used on the competition trail) are designed to fit along pathways tucked between the trees of Talladega’s terrain and may be arranged from 15 to 50 yards. The Archery Range is open to all experience levels, with a minimal age of 6 years to use. 

The crown jewel of the park is a 13,000-square-foot Club House, featuring a check-in and reception area, two multi-media classrooms, spacious lounge areas and a CMP Pro Shop with firearms, accessories and ammunition sales. 

Talladega Marksmanship Park is open daily to the public. Don't be a stranger, come see us at The Home of Marksmanship!
