100% NRA membership within an NRA affiliated club is the first step towards becoming an NRA Gold Medal Award Club. Becoming a 100% NRA member club is a status that indicates support for the purposes and objectives of the NRA and its accomplishments it has achieved for over 100 years.

To receive the NRA Gold Medal Club Award, your club must meet all of the following criteria:

• Be a 100% NRA Club

• Have a Club Newsletter (Digital form accepted)

• Belong to the NRA State Association of your state

• Have administered, or currently incorporate an NRA Youth Program within the Club's agenda

• Actively participate in NRA's Membership Recruiting Program

If all of the above criteria are met, the Club will be awarded a plaque along with an inscribed bar listing the year. Current Gold Medal Clubs are encouraged to renew their status every year and will be given an inscribed bar with the renewal year. In addition, by becoming an NRA Gold Medal Club, you will also receive preferred status for the NRA Range Grant program. To download an application and to review grant requirements, click here.
