Retired Navy Shooters Association
The Retired Navy Shooters Association was established in May 1994 and affiliated with the National Rifle Association shortly thereafter. The purpose of the organization as contained in the By-Laws is the encouragement of organized rifle and pistol shooting among its members, with a view toward a better knowledge on the part of such members of the safe handling and proper care of firearms, as well as improved marksmanship. This may be demonstrated in the fielding of competitive teams within the restrictions of Rule 2.11, National Rifle Association Rifle and Pistol rules. It shall be our further object and purpose to forward the development of those characteristics of honesty, good fellowship, self-discipline, team play and self-reliance which are the essentials of good sportsmanship and the foundation of true patriotism.
Application is open to any retired member of the regular
military forces or military reserves (whether drawing retired pay or not) who has had an
association with the Navy or Navy Reserve Shooting program, whether as a designated member
of a previous team (either firing or alternate), having served as a coach, coordinator,
assistant, materially assisted with the conduct of Fleet or All-Navy matches, or are
designated a Navy Distinguished Marksman or Pistol Shot, or hold Excellence-in-Competition
points towards such designation, may become a member of this organization on vote of the
Executive Committee after subscribing to the following pledge and on payment of the usual
initiation fee and dues. Members of the Navy and Navy Reserve within six months of
retirement are eligible for membership with all rights pertaining thereto with the
exception of competing on teams fielded by the Association (until their actual retirement
is effective).
