Club Recruiters across the country are continuing to make great progress growing the NRA. Contending with stellar results from the early months in 2016, the XC category is up 13% compared to last year!
Thus far in 2017, Instructor Recruiters continue to be the fastest growing category and are experiencing a wealth of success. Starting off on a track similar to last year, XI recruiters have already recruited more than 4,000 members!
As we have seen, and you may be experiencing, there has been a natural slowdown in our industry following the election cycle. However, we are still showing great numbers and have more members then this same time in 2014 and 2015!
The Central Region has posted a 15% gain over the previous year! However, don't let the post-election cycle fool you- we must continue to be proactive as we head further into 2017. As Wayne LaPierre has stated, "Winning the battle isn't the same as winning the war".
I look forward to watching the Northeast Region continue to grow as I work alongside our show recruiters as the new Industry Representative. As always, I am happy to assist you as best as I can. Keep up the hard work and remember to be prepared, be heard, and be seen.
The Southeast is off to a great start in 2017. We had an incredibly successful recruiting weekend with Cabela's in which we gained over 3,700 memberships! Thank you to all the Recruiters for your hard work during that weekend!
To help increase membership totals, it is important to find new events in your local area. You can recruit at other local events such as military shows, antique shows, and flea markets or see if your local gun store or outdoor store will let you recruit there for a weekend.
The NRA Recruiting program provides a great opportunity for NRA members to strengthen the NRA by increasing membership and earn extra money at the same time!
