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. Each of the new gun racks will have two 4.5x12” metal plates on opposite sites on which we’ll engrave a sponsor/donor’s name. 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.

Beware: The Heat Is Upon Us

July 21, 2023 By Sherry Kerr

Beware:  The Heat Is Upon Us

The heat all across the lower half of the U.S. is outrageously high, and shooters are at an increased risk for heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. This is all a continuous spectrum of heat-related illness. Dr. Dan Fisher of Chattanooga, an NSCA Level 2 instructor, warns us of some risk factors that you might need to consider. First, your age. Shooters older than 60-65 are at an increased risk. Many shooters this age are not in good physical shape. Second, your overall condition. If you have cardiovascular disease and/or diabetes, you are at big risk. Third, your weight. If your … [Read more...]
