NRA Whittington Center Adventure Camp, Long Version 2
This video is designed to acquaint the viewer with the NRA Whittington Center Adventure Camp. Adventure Camp accepts requests from high school age young men and women to attend the 2 week summer camp. The goal of the camp is to provide leadership training, promote patriotism and educate the camper in the safe and proper use of a wide variety of firearms including archery, rifle, pistol, muzzle loading and shotgun.
Campers attend group meetings that are designed to help them become a leader in their community. The campers learn in an entertaining and informal setting the skills and techniques of leadership and the responsibilities that go along with being a leader.
Pride in the United States of America is promoted by attending a flag raising ceremony every morning before the busy day begins. True history of how our nation was formed and the principles of liberty that it stands for are presented in a variety of ways.
Marksmanship skill sets are presented by certified instructors who are highly respected and experienced men and women who are dedicated to passing their knowledge on to the campers. Safety, safety, safety is always top of mind during the training and most sessions have an instructor and staff ratio of 1 instructor/staff person for each 2 campers.
The NRA Whittington Center Adventure Camp is held on over 30,000 acres with some of the most beautiful scenery in northern New Mexico. Wildlife is abundant on the premises and many varieties of animals are used to being around the camp so they can be observed up close.
The experience Adventure Camp provides promotes friendships with instructors, staff and other campers that will last a life time. Anyone who wants to gain confidence in themselves and learn how to handle every marksmanship challenge, even shooting at a distance of 1 mile, will leave the camp feeling like they have experienced something very special.

I recommend all to visit this NRA Whittington shooting center facility which features a great museum about the history of firearms in America and how western settlers who traveled the Santa Fe trail had to use firearms to defend themselves. The shooting facility has a wonderful RV park and beautiful environment with Elk, Deer, and Antelope too.
For all those interested in small bore rifle shooting especially junior marksman, this Firecracker 4800 is a great experience to meet and compete with Olympic marksman and ask as many questions about competitive shooting as you like. Everyone that participated received great prizes and awards like ammunition and firearms.

A Silver Lining to the Tragic Shooting at Umpqua Community College.
The voters of Coos County, Oregon sent a very strong message to the federal government in their attempts politicize the recent act of cowardice in the gun free zone at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg. Every time we see a tragedy of this type no time is wasted in the forth-coming attempts to establish a new wave of gun control.
According to the Huffington Post, Coos County voters passed, the 2nd Amendment Preservation Ordinance with 61 percent of the vote.” The ordinance empowers Coos County Sheriff Greg Zanni to determine if a given state or federal gun law goes against the constitution. If Sheriff Zanni thinks they are unconstitutional, the county is then banned from using any resources to enforce those laws. Any county employee who violates the ordinance will be fined $2,000. This ordinance shows the world what the good people of Oregon really think about supporting the 2nd Amendment and their opposition to the over-reaching put forth in SB 941.
As Breitbart puts it: “SB 941 was the universal background check bill supported by Sandy Hook Promise and Bloomberg-funded Everytown for Gun Safety. The bill was signed into law on May 11 and residents of Coos County hope to use the 2nd Amendment Preservation Ordinance to forbid its enforcement in their county.”
I had a chance to sit down with Local resident/political activist Rob Taylor who, with Tom McKirgan, Oregon III% Director of Operations, spearheaded the effort by collecting signatures to get the ordinance on the local ballot, which then went on to pass this November 3 by more than 20%. We talk about the timing of the passage of the ordinance coinciding with the tragic shooting, the history, what lead to the push for this ordinance, and how the sheriff may have really felt about this subject.
