Unusually warm and inviting weather blanketed the competitors on the firing lines of Talladega Marksmanship Park as the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) inaugural Talladega 600 was fired Dec. 8 through Dec. 13 by a group of 270 competitors. The event held for all ages and skill levels featured a variety of firearm matches, including pistol, rifle and even shotgun opportunities.
Eric Herrin was one of the big winners at the Inaugural event—earning first place overall in the As-Issued 1911, Military & Police Pistol and EIC Aggregate matches. He also became a member of the Congressional 30 (mirrored off of the National Match President’s 100 event) as one of the Top 30 competitors. Along with these accomplishments, Herrin landed in second place in the EIC Pistol Match and in the top percentage of the EIC Rifle event—among other impressive finishes during the week.
The Talladega 600 included pistol, smallbore and highpower CMP rifle, and shotgun events. For complete results, visit the website: thecmp.org.
