I just returned from my first meeting as a member of the CMP board. Here is a brief report:
Leadership and management: I am highly impressed with the leadership and management of the CMP. These are smart, dedicated, experienced, talented, folks working their tails off to accomplish the CMP mission. You will see none of the shenanigans infecting other gun organizations.
Finance and investments: CMP is in excellent financial condition. Our investments have generated very high returns. Some day our supply of M1s will dry up. We should then be able to rely on our investment portfolio to fund our programs.
Programs: The mission of CMP is to provide marksmanship training and competition with a special emphasis on youth. We were hard hit by Covid-19 but, anticipate returning vigorously in 2021 and beyond.
Ammunition: The CMP is essentially out of ammo. Demand has been incredibly high and supplies very difficult to source. We are working a significant potential for 30-06 and .308 ammo from Korea.
Rifles: Our sources of M1s continue to diminish. We have also seen a general drop in quality (e.g. the Philippino rifles) that requires significantly more work to repair and return to proper condition. We are now anticipating a shipment of rifles from Turkey.
1911s: The 1911 program is seeing very high demand with limited supply. We are limiting buyers to one 1911 each. Whether political changes will impact our supply of 1911s remains to be seen.
Facilities: The Talladega shooting park has received a 5 star rating from NSSF and is now financially self sustaining. We authorized development of a 3 D archery facility at Talladega. We are looking at the possibility of facility development further west.
Our board meeting was 2.5 days long so, these are only bullet points (yes, pun intended) for your information. Please know that CMP is a tightly run organization working very hard to accomplish its mission. The future is bright.
