Gander Mountain has announced that its NRA Weekend will be held on Saturday, Sept. 10 and Sunday, Sept. 11, 2016. During the special event, customers can purchase a discounted NRA membership for $30, and will receive a $25 Gander Mountain gift card alongside the discounted membership.

NRA representatives will also be present in all participating Gander Mountain locations. NRA memberships, of course, come with a bevy of perks, including one free NRA monthly magazine, $2,500 worth of firearms insurance and a membership card to cash in on exclusive discounts and offers.

"Our customers look forward to hunting season all year long, and we're here to help them get the gear they need to get back outside," said Gander Mountain President Derek Siddons. "Gander Mountain is committed to providing responsible citizens with access to firearms and educational programs that promote proper use, care, safety and security through our partnership with NRA and our on-going 'With Rights Comes Responsibility' campaign."

NRA representatives will also be conducting 'Intro to Firearms Safety' seminars covering safe firearms handling, proper firearms storage and cleaning. 

"Gander Mountain is providing a convenient experience and great discount for the firearm community to purchase or renew their NRA membership," said National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. "We hope the community heads to Gander Mountain to enjoy a superior outdoor retail experience and to learn more about the NRA and our Second Amendment freedoms."

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.
