Save your money guys. With postage you'll spend over $10.00 to get this valueless publication. See excerpt of text below sent to the NRA. The NRA is an organization I am glad to be a member of, but when they start selling this kind of material it gets quite irratating.

I purchased your Outfitters Guide Book. It arrived very quickly and I completed the enclosed survey card and returned it. The survey card dealt only with the services provided and not the publication itself.

I read through the Guidebook and can't tell you how disappointed I am in it. You advertise listing of guides. I don't call listing 22 guides/outfitters who had to pay to get listed as providing value to the member by any stretch of the imagination. You didn't even bother list list their websites and e-mails (as applicable).

While certainly some of the information is of value, it is quite apparent the NRA has no clue about guiding and outfitting or else you wouldn't have been selling this publication, you would have included as a free supplement with one of the monthly magazines.

You may want to limit your publications to specific areas of interest that the NRA is truley qualified for. As if this an example of your expansion of services and knowledge base, the NRA will be in the damage control business.

I could have put this magazine together over a long weekend by just going through my electronic files.

Everyone wants the money.....no one wants to earn it.

The NRA really P.O.'d me when they asked me to put them in my will. They might as well be Democrats.

I have been a member for years and will continue to be but it really pisses me off the way they are constatly sending out printed material to try to get money.w/regards

I feel the same. I wonder how much money they spend on the mailings each year? I personaly have not sent them any money from the mailings and have been a member for 25 years with at least one letter a month it seems. I do like the magazines though.

As a benefactor member, I resent the constant requests for money. An occasional fundraiser, yes, but not a monthly thing.

I was a regular contributor to the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, and kept getting the same junk that you all did. The worst was a certified letter that I had to go to the post office to sign for. As my dad used to say, I was fit to be tied.

I called up the NRA and told them I would contribute once per year, without being badgered, and to stop sending junk mail.

The mail stopped instantly.
