Jeff Cooper Legacy Foundation Donation to the NRA Whittington Center

Jeff Cooper Legacy Foundation Donation to the NRA Whittington Center

December 17, 2025 Lindy Comments 0 Comment
We are proud to announce our donation to the NRA Whittington Center.  This donation takes the form of an endowment which will fund maintenance and enhancements to the existing Cooper Range at the Whittington Center in Raton, New Mexico, in perpetuity.
The Cooper Range is a multi-use shooting range at Whittington that includes a cabin for meeting space, a Rifle Walk, covered benches for sighting-in rifles, a pistol bay and several opportunities for long-range challenges. The range presents the opportunity to set up many of Jeff Cooper’s classic exercises, including shooting clay birds with rifles.
The Cooper Range was set up over 20 years ago through the generous support of the following people/entities:
                       Jeff and Janelle Cooper
                        John Gannaway
                        Joe and Lindy Wisdom
                        John Moore Family
                        Dan Predovich Family
                        Jim Haas Family
                        Tom Russell Family
                        Larry Larsen
                        Rich Wyatt
                        GSI
                        Steyr
The range has been enjoyed by many over the years and this current donation will assure that it will continue to be a special place for all who have been positively influenced by Jeff Cooper and his teachings.
May we all continue to ride, shoot straight and speak the truth.

Random Quote:

“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”
