Appendix V NRA Club Affiliation
N
RA affiliation links a collegiate shooting sports program with a network of more than 11,000 local clubs and associations, and entitles each affiliate to the benefits offered by the NRA. Competitive events throughout the area, state, region, and nation are open to NRA-affiliated members. Assistance from the NRA staff is only a letter or telephone call away, and numerous training and educational materials are available. NRA-affiliated clubs may participate in the liability insurance program at an affordable price. NRA affiliation does not mean that the NRA controls the affairs of the campus organization. Each affiliate governs itself and conducts its own activities. NRA is available for assistance, advice, and materials. Affiliation does not impose NRA control over the internal affairs of an organization nor does it require the organization to accept specific responsibility for the conduct of NRA programs or activities in any particular area. While there are some basic requirements for affiliation (and affiliation renewal) which must be met, we emphasize that NRA respects the right of each affiliated organization to govern itself and conduct its own programs and activities. Affiliated clubs receive a year’s subscription to one of the following magazines: American Rifleman, American Hunter, America’s 1st Freedom, Shooting Sports USA, InSights, or Women’s Outlook. (Information on various NRA-sanctioned competitions is available in Shooting Sports USA.) For more information call (800) NRA-CLUB or e-mail clubs@nrahq.org.
