“nra hunter education”

Despite its importance as a good food source, as a wildlife-management tool and as a crucial source of funding for conservation in the United States, hunting remains vulnerable to misinformation and negative attention from ill-informed media, which can encourage support for restrictive legislation. The hunting community must appeal to non-hunters through common goals, motivations and values if our pastime is to remain a fixture in American life.

The organizations agree to cooperate on hunter recruitment, firearm training, wildlife conservation during 10-year agreement.

NRA Hunter Education online, our free gift to hunters, just became a multi-million dollar gift to state wildlife agencies and conservation. All your state needs to do is accept the gift.

For new hunters, mentors who have “been there, done that” are invaluable resources. Fortunately, numerous opportunities for beginning hunters to receive expert tutelage exist across the nation as well as online.

The number of hunters involved in our sport is in sharp decline. So where do we look to grow our ranks? The easiest people to recruit are those found within our own social circles.

As NRA members and hunters, we have the responsibility to increase our ranks. Through our NRA memberships, we have all the resources needed to do exactly that. So what's stopping you?
