Hunting Season Opportunities

Hunting season presents recruiters with many opportunities to recruit new NRA members. Identifying these opportunities and pursuing them is crucial to membership recruitment in the fall and winter seasons.

Sporting good stores are a great opportunity to broaden the scope of your recruiting efforts. As hunters prepare for the season, they will undoubtedly be stocking up on the latest gear and supplies to get the edge they need while out in the field. Contact your local store today and explore the possibility of setting up a recruiting table on a weekend! Local ranges will also be a hot bed of potential; many gun owners and hunters will be sighting rifles and taking their hunter education courses. Look for any place that hunters, gun owners, and freedom-loving Americans congregate and you'll quickly realize that the possibilities are endless!

You may hear a lot of excuses from hunters for not joining the NRA. Stress the membership benefits that hunters care about such as the gun and bow insurance. And, as always, be prepared to talk about the issues that matter to them. Visit www.nraila.org/hunting to stay informed.

Hunters are prime targets for membership recruitment and this time of year provides you with the best opportunity to show them the benefits of joining. It is imperative that we take advantage of the opportunity to sign up this large group of American gun owners: the hunters and outdoorsmen.
