Sponsor a New Gun Rack at the NSC

November 30, 2023 By Sherry Kerr

Sponsor a New Gun Rack at the NSC

The National Shooting Complex will have all-new, hand-crafted metal gun racks soon, and you have an opportunity to have your name on one or more of them.

The racks will be spread throughout the complex and have varying levels of exposure, so they are priced accordingly. Sponsorship/donor commitments are for a five-year period and include recognition on both metal plates.
