Dear Fellow American,

In this special year of the 250th anniversary of the founding of our country and the 50th anniversary of the founding of Gunsite, we here at The Jeff Cooper Legacy Foundation thought it fitting to introduce  “The Cooper Shelf,” our library initiative for shooting clubs all across the U.S.A.

In accordance with Jeff Cooper’s dedication to proficiency with personal firearms, the right of Americans to keep and bear arms, the importance of education and the power of the written word, we want to do something meaningful toward encouraging reading, most especially of works pertaining to history and firearms in general.

If you are a shooting/gun club with a place to meet and space for a library, we are offering to seed your own version of The Cooper Shelf with a selection of Jeff Cooper’s books to get you started.  Our hope is that your organization can build on this initiative and create a comfortable meeting place for a great collection of books and other written material for the enjoyment of your members.   It may also become an entity to which your members may donate their own pertinent collections.

To this end, we ask you to respond to this message by completing the online application HERE.
