Friends of NRA lifts the curtain on its merchandise for next year's events

Fairfax, Virginia - We're back from this morning's annual preview of upcoming Friends of NRA and, wow, are there a lot of great items headed at you next year. What you see here are only a few of the items that were presented.

The NRA Field Representatives on the selection committee really outdid themselves. There's such a wide selection of items. Everyone attending a Friends of NRA banquet in 2013 should see at least a couple - or ten - things that catches their eye.

There are over 1,200 Friends of NRA events held across the United States every year and each one of them will have a standard package of items available. Field Reps have leeway to add additional items they think attendees will be interested in so there are a few items you, unfortunately, might not see.

If you have never experienced a Friends of NRA banquet and would like to learn more about them, visit the Friends of NRA website here. These events are vital to supporting the NRA's mission of protecting the shooting sports. You'll hardly get a better chance to meet fellow Second Amendment supporters, play some games and maybe even take home an NRA gun, appliance or accessory from a raffle or by placing the winning bid.

All of these items are NRA-branded and you're not going to find them anywhere else. You hear that, collectors? Particular merchandise, like the Charlie Daniels autographed fiddle, will definitely perk ears.

Want to make sure you can attend an event this year? Call your local NRA Field Rep - find yours by selecting your state on the map - and see what they're up to.
