NSSF Launches New
Premium Range Membership

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®) is pleased to announce that it is now offering a Premium Range membership to add to its array of membership options.

Modeled after the success of the Premium Retailer membership, the new category will provide a variety of benefits and tools to range owners and operators seeking to improve how they do business, grow their customer bases and successfully meet the challenges of safety and environmental issues today’s modern firearm ranges face.

“Over the past year, we’ve talked with many of our member range owners who expressed an interest in having a membership level that offered the additional benefits offered to our Premium Retailer members but was tailored to the concerns of shooting range operations,” said Zach Snow, NSSF Manager, Shooting Promotions. “We think the comprehensive list of benefits in the new Premium Range membership addresses those needs and will prove to be a foundation for all ranges seeking to run successful and safe enterprises.”

Members signing up for or upgrading to the new NSSF Premium Range membership will have several important tools and programs available to them. These include:

• OSHA/State OSH Compliance Program Review
• 24/7 EPA and OSHA Compliance Phone-in Hotline
• Professional Media Consulting
• On-site OSHA Mock Auditing
• Access to NSSF’s Legal Defense Fund

“Mirroring the Premium Retailer membership’s focus on ATF compliance, our range owners wanted their membership upgrade to focus on OSHA compliance,” explained Snow. “They expressed strong interest in maintaining their range environments and the health and safety of their staff and customers at the highest levels, and we think this package of tools will help them do just that.”

NSSF range members can learn more about the Premium Range Membership, including eligibility requirements, at nssf.org/ranges/premium.
