#Lets Go Shooting
Shooting ranges serve a critical role in the continued growth of gun ownership and shooting sports participation. The National Shooting Sports Foundation urges everyone to join us them this August for National Shooting Sports Month.
Here are some ways to get involved: • Host an event or a series of events that are geared towards attracting different audiences. • List your event(s) on the National Shooting Sports Month website. • Help spread the word about the event(s) you’re planning by utilizing the resources within the promotional toolkit. • Display the National Shooting Sports Month logo on your website, in your promotions and on social media. • Encourage active customers/members to invite family and friends to go target shooting.
Visit ShootingSportsMonth.org to sign on today. The promotional picture here is from a recent shotgun event, however, any type of shooting event is welcome. The NSSF provides a list of different actions that shooters and ranges can take leading up to and during August to celebrate the month.
This year, they are looking to generate more than 2,000 events so anything you can do to help engage your shooting, range, and gunsmithing contacts to encourage their local ranges to get on board and head to the range this August would be great. Any event that can reach abroad audience of shooters, new and experienced, can lead to further First Shots events as well. Everyone is encouraged to add events, promotions, and other shooting activities they have planned to the website.
By doing so, the NSSF will out a promotional package consisting of shirts, hats, and other promotional materials to raise awareness around the month. Visit ShootingSportsMonth.org to sign on today.
