They’ve always provided tremendous support for our local committee, but having them offer such a monumental gift of support as a state sponsor this year is an unbelievable blessing to our Missouri Friends of NRA program.  It truly shows their commitment to both the future of shooting sports and shooters alike,” said Travis Scott, NRA Field Representative, Northern Missouri.
