Hunters who can break away from the spring turkey woods long enough to read about all the events planned for the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, May 17-19, will want to read this news first. The NRA Hunters’ Leadership Forum (HLF) welcomes all hunters to attend its NRA HLF Reception on May 18 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at the Omni Dallas Hotel (555 S. Lamar St., Trinity Ballroom 2 and 3)—conveniently adjacent to the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center, home of this year’s NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits. Tickets are available for $95 per person. To RSVP and purchase your ticket, please click here.
With tens of thousands of NRA members on the exhibit hall floor, the annual NRA HLF gathering brings together the hunters in the mix all in one place. It is an NRA show highlight for those who enjoy connecting with other hunters and sharing their stories. The sense of community at an NRA HLF event also provides new hunters in search of guidance the opportunity to meet seasoned hunters and forge valuable partnerships. Just as important, the annual event raises awareness of the role hunters and hunting play in wildlife conservation and of the NRA’s role in delivering the safety, education and training programs hunters need to ensure a lifetime of hunting enjoyment.
After the reception, of course, there is still time to go back to the exhibit hall to continue visiting with the hundreds of firearms, ammunition, optics and hunting gear manufacturers, retailers and outfitters onsite. Consider booking your next hunting adventure at a family-oriented event that draws more than 75,000 Second Amendment supporters and NRA members every year.
And who could ask for a more fitting setting for the NRA HLF Reception and the 153rd NRA Annual Meeting & Exhibits? Not only is Texas one of the top states when it comes to its sheer number of all-American NRA members and hunters, but “friendship” is the state motto. Based on my experience over the decades I have spent as an NRA Life member, hunter and employee of this great organization, I can attest to the fact we NRA members and hunters are always quick to gather in the spirit of friendship, community and American freedom.

About the NRA Hunters’ Leadership Forum (HLF)
The NRA HLF marches in step with one of the NRA’s five key purposes and objectives: “to promote hunter safety, and to promote and defend hunting as a shooting sport and as a viable and necessary method of fostering the propagation, growth, conservation and wise use of our renewable wildlife resources.” The annual NRA HLF reception at the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits celebrates hunters and hunting and spotlights the fact that hunters remain the most dedicated stewards of wildlife, conservation and habitat restoration worldwide.
