I have a question that someone may be able to answer here. Do my boys age 13 and 11 need to be a member of the NRA to participate in official matches. I will have both of them participate this year in some matches and was wondering if I need to have them join to get a book or what I have to do.

Kevin

I believe only in Registered State, Regional or Nationals.....
Not in approved matches unless the program states so.

Kevin, no, they don't have to be NRA members to get a class book. But there are some big matches that will required all shooters to belong to the NRA or the respective State Rifle association.

Gator is correct, Regionals, States and Nationals. Now in Florida most of the match directors run the states when they would run their normal monthly match, which is typically approved and they offer the option of competiting for the state trophies (usually reqires state association membership as well) or just competiting for the regular monthly awards.

Hope this helps answer your question Kevin.

Thanks everyone. Yes it does answer the question. I might let them join after a while and get the free magazine. If they shoot our state match then I will be safe.

On another note. Is there a package or something from the NRA that I would need to obtain to get started in having approved Matches. They will be at an affiliated range.

Kevin, Just call or write the Silhouette department and they will give/send you all the details. We just took over the one at our club and there is a form to fill out and you send them a copy of your match schedule.
