Created by NRA in 1936, the All-American award was meant to honor top-collegiate rifle shooters and has become a crowning goal for collegiate student-athletes. By recognizing those shooters who are willing to reach above and beyond the status quo and challenge themselves not only to meet, but exceed the standards required of an All-American is what makes this program continue its legacy. And, once the title is earned it remains with that person throughout their shooting and professional career.

Though elusive to attain, the NRA All-American title is something highly motivated competitive shooters strive for during their collegiate years. The title is attained through not only shooting, but also through the character of the person by way of their leadership skills.

Those who select the All-Americans are chosen from the NRA Collegiate Programs Committee, one of 39 policy-making committees of the Association. The All-American selection committee members are well-known in the competitive shooting community; some are even former All-Americans, coaches of All-Americans, or both.
