The NRA has a new Website devoted to hunting issues. News of all types--from states initiating youth-mentored hunts, to proposed bans on certain types of hunting, to new strategies to open more land to hunters-- are just some of the topics you might read at: www.nrahuntersrights.org.

Nationwide, the number of hunters is declining--down 10 percent since 1996--and a number of factors are combining to drive people out of hunting. NRA fights for hunters every day, and youth groups play a major role in teaching kids conservation and hunting's role in it. Visit www.nrahuntersrights.org to stay current on issues facing hunters and NRA's progress in overcoming them.
