This episode features Peter Churchborne, Executive Director of the NRA Foundation, discussing the crucial role of hunters and shooting sports enthusiasts in wildlife conservation through programs like the Pitman-Robertson Act. The conversation highlights how excise taxes on firearms and ammunition fund state wildlife agencies, supporting habitat management and species preservation. It also delves into the challenges of declining hunter numbers and the NRA Foundation's initiatives, such as the free online hunter education course, aimed at recruitment, reactivation, and retention within the hunting community.
The Practical Hunting Rifleman School, offered by NRA Outdoors, focuses on enhancing students' long-range shooting capabilities and providing insights into NRA programs. The course is held at the Peacemaker National Training Center in West Virginia. While 2015 dates are fully booked, information on 2016 dates and other NRA Outdoors offerings, including a dedicated Long Range School, can be found on their website.
