NSTRA - Nationwide News and Highlights

05/11/2026

I would like to take a moment to recognize how responsive and easy to work with our newest partner, Migra Ammunition, has been. From initial discussions through ex*****on, their team has been proactive, organized, and genuinely supportive of NSTRA and its members.
Migra has put together a program that allows NSTRA members to purchase ammunition at an exceptional discount compared to retail, while also making the ordering process straightforward and efficient. The communication has been clear, turnaround times have been quick, and the overall experience has been seamless.
To help this program run smoothly across the organization, I would suggest selecting one member from each Region to coordinate and manage the purchasing of shells and related needs for their respective Region. This approach keeps the process simple, reduces duplication, and allows each Region to take full advantage of the program.
I have taken on this role for the Eastern Carolina Region, and our initial order was placed today totaling 27 cases. The process could not have been easier, and the cost savings are significant.
This is a program we can all benefit from, and I strongly encourage Regions to participate. If anyone would like additional details, contacts, or guidance on getting started, please feel free to reach out — I would be glad to share the information and help however I can.
Finally, a sincere thank-you to Chad Norpel and the others who were instrumental in seeing this opportunity through and bringing it to fruition for the NSTRA.
