The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) is continuing its involvement in National Shooting Sports Month—in partnership with the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF)—to encourage participation in the shooting sports and emphasize firearms safety. National Shooting Sports Month takes place throughout the month of August.

“We are truly excited to see NSSF promoting National Shooting Sports Month,” said Elizabeth Bush, deputy executive director of NRA General Operations. “This is the perfect incentive for NRA Clubs, Business Alliance members, and NRA Instructors to introduce someone new to the shooting sports.”

The NRA encourages all NRA Clubs and Business Alliance members to join the celebration! Simply sign on as a participating/host club while also encouraging your members and customers to head to the range, introduce someone new, or try a new sport.

“Last year’s National Shooting Sports Month was a tremendous success, thanks to hundreds of ranges and retailers across the country reminding people about the fun and excitement of target shooting,” said Zach Snow, NSSF director of member development. “We’re thrilled to have NRA join in continuing the celebration of the shooting sports this year.”

Enthusiasts looking for activities and promotions during August will find a lengthy list online. The convenient sorting by state or zip code makes it easy to find something near you throughout the month. The web page also has targets that can be downloaded, logos for Shooting Sports Month promotion and a variety of other resources.

There’s also the opportunity to win one of ten $500 gift cards by getting behind the trigger at least once in August. Simply download one of the above-mentioned targets, follow the instructions and post a photo of it with the hashtag #RangeChallenge on Instagram. Here are full details.

Be sure to “Like” NSSF’s Facebook page to see how others across the country are celebrating this special event. NRA and NSSF encourage you to share your National Shooting Sports Month experience on social media and to use the hashtag #LetsGoShooting. Visit letsgoshooting.org to learn more.
