undefinedWomen are the fastest growing segment of hunting and the shooting sports, which is no surprise judging from the crowds of women at the NRA Annual Meetings in Indianapolis, Apr. 25-27! I just attended the 1st Annual NRA Women's New Energy Breakfast and met up with women from every age group and profession—from past NRA President Sandy Froman and friends who are exhibiting on the NRA show floor to NRA women who have driven across the country to be here and celebrate our NRA and American freedom. It's fun to support each other while making new friends and talking up our NRA.

This event will be an annual gathering so if you're attending next year's NRA Annual Meetings in Nashville, pass along the news. It's also the ideal setting for anyone new to the NRA, hunting, and/or the shooting sports because you'll learn about all the women's programs the NRA has to offer. See you in Nashville next year for the 2nd Annual NRA Women's New Energy Breakfast!

Arizona Asks Public to Look Out for New World Screwworm

On Sept. 17 the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)—working with the New Mexico Livestock Board and New Mexico Department of Agriculture—announced that a horse was identified with a New World screwworm (NWS) infested wound in Grant County, N.M, which borders southern Arizona.

Smart Optics 101

Smart optics are changing the way hunters and shooters approach distance, accuracy and confidence in the field. Rangefinding riflescopes, dial-up turrets and integrated ballistic systems are no longer gimmicks. They work, but only if you take the time to understand them and use them to their full potential.
