New Jersey Clubs Host NRA Day
Written by: The National Rifle Association 03/22/2005



The Salem County Sportsmen's Club and South Jersey Sportsmen, Inc. will host the third annual NRA day - a free day of gun safety and recreational shooting instruction for the entire family on May 21st from 9:00am to 4:00pm. The club is located on Rt. 40, three miles east of Exit 1 off the NJ Turnpike.



"This event is an ideal opportunity for our community to learn what the NRA is all about - the safe, responsible use of firearms," said Bob Viden, club spokesperson and NRA Board member. "Parents and youngsters who are new to shooting can learn gun safety and basic marksmanship from NRA Certified Instructors. Those with shooting experience will get the chance to try different disciplines and socialize with other gun owners and NRA members."



NRA day activities to be held include rifle and handgun shooting, plus a youth air gun range for children with adult supervisiion. The South Jersey Arms Collectors will also hold a special exhibit, "Firearms in America," featuring a number of historically significant firearms from the Kentucky rifle to the M1.



All firearms, targets, ammunition, and eye and ear protection will be provided. The event is open to the public and admission is free. Refreshments will be available.



For more information, call Bob Viden at (856)881-7575. To learn more about other NRA programs, go to WWW.nrahq.org.
