NRA
National Rifle Association
Dismayed by the lack of marksmanship shown by their troops, Union veterans Col.
William C. Church and Gen. George Wingate formed the National Rifle Association in
1871. The primary goal of the association would be to "promote and encourage rifle
shooting on a scientific basis," according to a magazine editorial written by Church.
After being granted a charter by the state of New York on November
17, 1871, the NRA was founded. Civil War Gen. Ambrose Burnside,
who was also the former governor of Rhode Island and a U.S.
Senator, became the fledgling NRA's first president.
The NRA's interest in promoting the shooting sports among
America's youth began in 1903 when NRA Secretary Albert S. Jones
urged the establishment of rifle clubs at all major colleges,
universities and military academies. By 1906, NRA's youth program
was in full swing with more than 200 boys competing in matches at
Sea Girt that summer. Today, youth programs are still a cornerstone
of the NRA, with more than one million youth participating in NRA
shooting sports events and affiliated programs with groups such as
4-H, the Boy Scouts of America, the American Legion, U.S. Jaycees
and others.
