Cabela’s NRA weekend is here! Each year, the outdoor retailer offers a special opportunity for customers to learn more about the National Rifle Association and to take advantage of firearm safety courses, educational workshops and in-store product demonstrations.

Today and tomorrow (Feb. 13 and 14), interested individuals can stop by any Cabela’s location nationwide and receive a free $25 Cabela’s gift card for joining the NRA or renewing their memberships. The card can be used for guns, accessories, clothing or whatever else the customer chooses. 

Plus, NRA instructors will be on hand at each store all weekend to offer a free “Basics of Firearms Ownership” clinic that will cover topics including safe gun handling, proper firearm storage and gun cleaning. Seminar and events will vary by location. 

Whether you’ve been thinking about joining the NRA, your membership is coming up for renewal or you’re ready for an upgrade, there’s no better time than now.
