The National Rifle League’s mission is to support precision rifle advocacy and they are a non-profit. Through their events, they not only provide the opportunity for competition among some amazing shooters, but they also foster firearms education and help people develop marksmanship traits of their own. Travis Ishida, Founder of the NRL, had these words to share surrounding the upcoming season and the National Rifle League:

The NRL Executive Board of Directors is honored to have these exceptional match directors as part of the 2019 season who are committed to bringing quality events and help lead the way into the future of the precision rifle community. Each one of these gentlemen brings great experience to share with one another and will no doubt help shape the industry with the best intentions for the community and for all involved.

Tyler Frehner, the Director of Match Operations, also shared his thoughts on what the National Rifle League has accomplished and is looking to grow in the future through their work:

We remain committed to this community we built with mutual respect between competitors, range officers, match directors, and sponsors. We are proud of what we’ve created this far. That together we could create competitions that were more than just seeing who the best precision rifle athlete is, but rather, entire events we all enjoy together as a gathering of good friends.

The National Rifle League is doing great things as a whole for the firearms community and education of it. Have you competed in an NRL match?
