The Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA) and National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) are pleased to invite you to the Range Experience, a modernized media range day centered around the experiences and real-world use cases of firearms and recreational shooting sports. The event, held at Civilian Marksmanship Program’s (CMP) Headquarters on the Camp Perry Ranges in Port Clinton, Ohio, is in conjunction with the POMA Annual Meeting, providing attendees and vendors with a value-packed 3-day agenda full of exclusive networking and professional development opportunities.

Media
The Range Experience prioritizes experiences that foster purpose behind product use cases. Media members will get opportunities for on-site content creation, firearms training, networking and collaboration, product discovery, and hands-on shooting sports experiences. Whether you’re a micro influencer on social media, an established publisher, or on-camera talent for mainstream media outlets, this event will provide the full spectrum of modern media range day opportunities.

Vendors
Manufacturers and shooting sports organizations will mingle with aspiring creators and established media outlets during the event, receiving product exposure and brand story-making opportunities on-site. The opportunity doesn’t end at the close of the event -- connections made during the Range Experience will act as a primer that spark more brand storytelling throughout the year.
