Air Gun Safety - Due to recent accidents, the NRA has developed safety posters dealing with safe handling and filling of Compressed Air and bulk fill CO2. They are available at http://materials.nrahq.org/go/products.aspx?cat=comp_miscellaneous. The nra has also developed an "Air Gun Shooting sports Safety Guide" booklet that can be downloaded for free at: http://www.nrahq.org/education/training/coaching_resources.asp. |

Senior and Open Programs - The NRA is seeing growth in shooting interest with adult groups. We would like to expand the number of adult club teams and competitions that are available. If you are interested in getting involved or would like additional information, contact the Rifle Department at rifle@nrahq.org. |

25-Yard Outdoor 3-P Air Rifle Program - Currently an experimental course of fire, this program is designed to allow smallbore shooters additional shooting opportunities using a different gun and to give current air rifle shooters an opportunity to learn about outdoor shooting. Many air rifle shooters progress to smallbore and high power rifle and this will assist with the training. Three-position on the A-7/5 target has been the most common course so far. If your club is interested in trying this experimental program, contact NRA's Air Gun Program at 703-267-1477 or email rifle@nrahq.org. |
