Beginning in 1995, USA Shooting began offering life memberships as an avenue to help ensure the future success of USA Shooting programs, athletes and coaches. A large portion of the fees contributed through life memberships will be deposited into an endowment fund and earnings will be used to fund USA Shooting programs and activities. As one of USA Shooting’s very first life members, your contribution represents a commitment to our future and exemplifies your desire to remain part of our proud and winning tradition. We welcome you as a Life Member of USA Shooting and thank you for your generous support! Margaret replied with a lovely, gracious, and grateful letter of thanks.
