NRA Launches 'Bullet-In Board' Newsletter to Enhance Firearms Training
The National Rifle Association (NRA) is launching a new communication tool for trainers, the 'Bullet-In Board' newsletter. This initiative underscores the organization's commitment to firearms training, a core mission since its inception in 1871.
The NRA's training programs, developed by dedicated staff and volunteers, aim to be the best available. With an estimated 20 million new firearms owners in the U.S., the need for proper training has never been more pressing.
The NRA's influence in firearms training dates back to before World War II, when it offered pre-induction training in rifle marksmanship and safe firearm handling. In 1949, the organization developed the first hunter-safety training curriculum, debuting in New York State. Before the NRA's involvement, there was no organized firearms training, manual, syllabus, or lesson plan in the U.S. The NRA became the first formal organization dedicated to marksmanship and firearms training.
The NRA encourages its coaches, instructors, and training counselors to also serve as recruiters, growing the organization's strength and influence. These educators play a critical role in teaching Americans about safe and effective firearm use.
The NRA's new 'Bullet-In Board' newsletter is set to enhance communication among trainers, furthering the organization's century-long commitment to firearms training. With the rise in new firearms owners, the NRA's role in providing proper training remains as relevant as ever.
