Veteran's Day @ NRA Range: Photos

The NRA Range's first-ever Veteran's Day shoot was a smashing success. More than three dozen active duty and retired military stopped in between the hours of 5 and 8 p.m. on Tuesday, November 11, including NRA Executive Director Kayne Robinson, a retired Marine.

The Range was closed to the public, as it is every Tuesday. Special thanks to NRA Range Manager Greg Wodack for donating the use of the range.

Participants enjoyed a wide spectrum of firearms, all provided courtesy of the National Firearms Museum. Museum staff Jim Supica, Doug Wicklund, and Phil Schreier were on hand to assist.

Remington and Midway USA sent boxes of ammunition, and other donations allowed each participant to leave with a knapsack full of NRA gear. Thanks to NRA Competitions, NRA Education and Training Division, NRA Publications, and Paralyzed Veterans of America.
