Vanessa Warner to Head NRA's Disabled Shooting Services
It’s great when a talented person we know gets selected for an important job. It’s even better when that person will now serve the shooting sports community in a key role. Vanessa Warner has accepted the position of Disabled Shooting Services Manager for the NRA. This is a great choice by the NRA, and shooters nationwide will benefit.
Vanessa is a respected long-range shooter with an impressive resume in marketing and communications. She will work within the National Rifle Association’s Competitive Shooting Division to improve the opportunities for disabled and physically-impaired shooters of all ages.

Warner’s responsibilities include planning, developing, and implementing shooting and hunting programs for the disabled community. Warner also serves as Secretary for both the NRA Protest Committee and the President’s Committee on Disabled Shooting.
Vanessa has big plans for the future of the NRA’s Disabled Shooting Services: “If you picture a wagon wheel, there is a center hub and a number of spokes that all connect to the outside rim. I want Disabled Shooting Services to be the hub,” Warner said. “Each of the spokes represents a shooting discipline and the outside rim is the shooting community at large. It is my dream to have full inclusion of disabled shooters on the firing lines-to have disabled and able-bodied shooters compete ‘shoulder-to-shoulder’ in matches.”
Warner can be reached at NRA Headquarters by calling (703) 267-1495. CLICK HERE to learn more about NRA’s competitive shooting programs.

hello..I am trying to find out more about the NRA’s disability services. I am a person with a disability who likes to shoot and is working to start teaching others to shoot. I am hoping to “cater” my services to those who are disables so they can shoot too. If you have any specific information for disabled shooters I could surely use it. Thanks, jill
I am a cancer survivor, I am an NRA Annual Member for approx the past 50 years; however, due to two surgeries relating to that my spinal column is fused by 2 rods from C2 to T2. My head is essentially rigidly fixed/locked to my shoulders. I cannot turn it left or right or raise my chin up or down. CONVENTIONAL RIFLE & SHOTGUN stocks no longer allow me to sight down the barrel and through iron or optical sights. I shoot and reload for plinking pleasure, hunting, and family defense. Where can I find gun smiths who know long gun sight mounting and stocking techniques only needed by the handicapped? Is there any financial aid for adapting my guns to my compromised condition?
