3D Archery Range
The CMP Archery Range at the CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park is located on the shotgun side of the grounds and outfitted with 20 lanes of life-size 3D targets, specially painted to look like 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 can be arranged from 15 to 50 yards. A 30×60-yard practice range with a berm was also constructed.
Field Archery Range
Currently the Field Archery Range at the CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park is under construction and will be completed by Spring 2025.
Target Archery Range
Target archery will be shot on the 600-yard rifle range at The CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park. It is pictured below.
