CMA is a dynamic shooting sport based on safe, simple and effective shooting skills. It emphasizes personal capabilities and mental and physical fitness.

CMA includes handgun and 2-gun (rifle plus handgun) education, certifications and competitions.

The sport has been founded and is based in Switzerland. There are CMA organizations emerging in many countries across Europe, Asia and Africa, building an international sport community.

CMA is an independent sport and we prefer listing some relevant points, to comparing it with other shooting sports.

CMA IS:

• enforcing the four universal firearms safety rules without exceptions

• based on a safe, solid and effective firearms education concept for handguns and for rifles

• fostering comprehensive shooting skills paired with mental and physical fitness

• offering objective certifications for competitors and officials that can be used as a reference outside of the sport as well

• emphasizing personal skills over specialized equipment

• allowing a broad set of stage design elements, providing the shooter with a wide variety of entertaining challenges

• promoting sportsmanship

• independent

• made for shooters by shooters!

CMA IS NOT:

• claiming to be 'practical', 'tactical' or 'defensive' in any way

• trying to please everybody

• suitable for 'smart' gaming and cheating

• following marketing trends in firearms design or available accessories

CMA has been founded on June 10, 2023 by a group of shooting professionals and enthusiasts to fill a gap in dynamic shooting sports.

CMA provides a well founded basis for education, training and competition. Those three components are linked together. The sport emphasizes personal skills and physical and mental fitness. It allows for a large degree of freedom in designing really challenging and entertaining stages and competitions. Match Directors and stage designers have a large variety of tools and options at their disposal to create really attractive events.

The shooting rules are kept simple and intuitive. The required shooting skills and techniques are certainly relevant and well thought-through, but there are no claims of the sport being 'practical, 'tactical, or 'self-defense' oriented.

At the moment, CMA is owned by the SwissAAA corporation, based in Switzerland. It is planned to transfer the sport into a separate, international sports association in the mid-term future.

Please contact CMA! We don't think that everything we do is perfect and we know that there are some gaps that need to be filled. Please explain your suggestion in sufficient detail and provide some reasons why you think what you propose is a good idea.

Ideally, you would already have some practical experience with CMA like being a certified competitor and already having completed some matches. If possible, add a couple of concrete examples related to your suggestion.

We will collect all suggestions and then go through the list and take decisions on the topics with the founder team. This will happen at least once a year.
