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.
