National Shooting Sports Month

The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) has announced its involvement in National Shooting Sports Month, in partnership with the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF). Created to encourage participation in the shooting sports and emphasize firearms safety, National Shooting Sports Month will take place throughout the month of August.

“We are truly excited to see NSSF promoting National Shooting Sports Month,” said Elizabeth Bush, Deputy Executive Director, 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, Member Development. “We’re thrilled to have NRA join in continuing the celebration of the shooting sports this year.”

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.
