What better way to spend your first day deep in the heart of Texas than goin’ shootin’?

Lucky for you, the National Shooting Complex of the National Skeet Shooting Association of America is just minutes from our host hotel for the 127th Annual Convention, the JWMarriott. Located along the edge of the beautiful Texas Hill Country, the National Shooting Complex may appear to be nothing more than 671 acres of peaceful rolling hills and picturesque countryside, but to an ever increasing number of fi rearms enthusiasts through-out the United States and beyond, this multi-million dollar complex has become recognized as one of the most complete sport shooting facilities in the world, fully equipped and ready to facilitate any size event.

Your day of fun with friends and colleagues serves more than your itchy trigger fi nger, however. It is also a meaningful day of support and leadership, as proceeds from this event benefi t the First the Seed Foundation, which works to inform today’s consumers and tomorrow’s workforce about the importance of the seed industry. Visit www.firsttheseedfoundation.org for more information on this important organization, working to lay the foundation today for the seed industry tomorrow. The national shooting complex will provide certifi ed instructors, ammunition, loaner guns (you may also bring your own), eye and ear protection, and water.

Participants will receive free transportation to and from the event and a barbecue and beer reception at the end of a long day.
