Welcome
The New Mexico Shooting Sports
Association (NMSSA) serves as the Official
State Association of the National Rifle Association
(NRA.) We are here to serve Second Amendment advocates
and firearm enthusiasts throughout the State. Our goals
are to support women and youth programs, including the
Eddie Eagle Program for youngsters. Also our goals are
to support, overall safety, Hunter Training and firearm
safety, casual and competitive shooting, hunting
(including hunting land, and land access issues), and to
actively lobby the legistrature with the NRA-ILA in
support of pro-Second Amendment and pro-hunting
legislation, and against anti-gun and anti-sportsmen
bills.
The NMSSA promotes safety, supports Law Enforcement, and
Social Stability. We encourage membership in the NRA.
Through affiliated Local Clubs, and special statewide
programs, we support training in safe firearm handling,
marksmanship and associated topics. We help organize and
conduct State matches and other events to promote the
shooting sports. We help Local Clubs with Range and
safety issues, etc.
NMSSA holds meetings through-out the State, as well as
an Annual Meeting in January. Meetings are typically
well attended by political candidates, legislatures, law
enforcement, and the NRA-ILA.
We provide information through a newsletter. It is sent
to members, and distributed at Gun Shows and other sport
and recreation venues. The Newsletter includes articles,
notifications, input from members, the Views of the
President and other Executive Officers. Local Associated
Clubs and Organizations are invited to submit articles
for the Newsletter.
A complete listing of Club Officers and contacts can be
found in our Newsletter, and on website (www.nmssa.org).
The website has complete information pertaining to the
NMSSA.
Sincerely yours,
Ed Dresner, President NMSSA

Volunteers Wanted ***
No experience necessary!
One person (or a
wife and husband) to coordinate the Eddie Eagle program
for the State. The duties would be to integrate the
Eddie Eagle Program with Volunteers from around the
State, who in turn would manage the Program in their
local communities.
One person in each community to manage the Eddie Eagle
Program in their local communities. ( this would be a
good job for a teenager, with parental permission and
guidance - It's fun, would be a good experience, and
could be used (maybe) for 4H projects, and/or Girlscouts'/Boyscouts'
merit badges - also get into gun shows free (think about
that Mom & Dad), and someone gets to wear an Eddie Eagle
costume (how cool is that).
Remember, It's first come, first served, so don't trip
over each other volunteering. ( email me at
president@nmssa.org )
Thanks,
Ed Dresner
President NMSSA
** Notice to Life Members
**
We thank you for supporting the NMSSA by being a Life
Member. Your dues were put in a Life Members Trust Fund.
The NMSSA can only use the interest earned to maintain
the Club. This was a good idea, years ago, when interest
rates were high. Now with the economy as it is, and
investment earnings, and interest rates poor, we find we
need more money to maintain the Club. You can help by
releasing your individual dues that are locked in the
Trust Fund. A letter is needed, signed by you, saying
that you release your portion of the Life Members Trust
Fund to the General Operating Fund of the NMSSA. We are
getting more Life Members than Annual members, and that
has led to a financial crises. So, please write those
letters, and, encourage other Life Members to do the
same.
Again, thanks for your support.
Sincerely,
Ed Dresner
President NMSSA
