Welcome to the First Shots Host Range Resource Center!

NSSF’s First Shots program supports NSSF-member range facilities across the country as you safely and enjoyably introduce individuals to the fun of shooting.  Within this Resource Center you will find all the tools you need to plan, promote, host and maximize First Shots events at your range.  First Shots is for ALL ranges, whether you feature indoor or outdoor shooting options, and all types of firearms including handguns, rifles and shotguns.

** Expanded First Shots Incentives for New and Existing Hosts **

 

Webinar recordings on the First Shots^® program are available, including the FREE support resources provided to ranges that become hosts, highlight different ways host ranges effectively use First Shots to generate business and share tactics for you to consider to help make your First Shots events a success.

As a First Shots Host Range, you’ll have access to shooting supplies (ammunition, targets, eye and ear protection), marketing  support, course curriculum and training guides, and a unique new customer reward program to encourage your first-time customers to become repeat visitors.

**Expanded First Shots Incentives for New and Existing Hosts**

Remember – Your range needs to be a member of the NSSF.  You’ll need to provide range time, classroom space and certified instructors, so if your facility is at capacity or you don’t have the right resources to teach new shooters, First Shots might not be a good fit for you at this time.
