“We’re excited to bring this class back to the same location for 2016 and to give more NRA members the chance to learn from some of the best.," said Greg Ray, NRA Outdoors' National Manager. "2016 will be a very exciting year as we bring more Level I students to our Level II class and plans to open even more dates, giving more potential students the opportunity to participate."
