Midway USA Donates One Million Dollars To NRA

[Northfield 556]

Dear Valued Customer,
One million is an attention-getting number, no matter what the circumstances. At MidwayUSA, Brenda and I - along with the MidwayUSA Employees - have celebrated a good many 'one million' milestones during the last 35+ years.
In 1983, our seventh year in business, we reached the milestone of one million dollars in business during a single calendar year. 2008 was the first year we filled one million orders for our Customers. In 2012 your NRA "Round-Up" contributions, through MidwayUSA, exceeded one million dollars during that single year. Please note that NRA "Round-Up" contributions come from you, our Customers, and each week since 1992 we have sent your contributions directly to the NRA/ILA National Endowment for the Protection of the 2nd Amendment. Our Customers should get all the credit for that, we just collect and remit your money. Now, in March of 2013 came another milestone to celebrate - one million active Customers - Customers who have ordered from MidwayUSA during the last twelve months. For a country kid from Missouri, that's an amazing milestone.
I believe our vision to be the best-run, most-respected business in America, for the benefit of our Customers, our family values and our relentless pursuit of Customer Satisfaction are what brought us to this milestone of one million active Customers. Brenda and I, along with all the Employees at MidwayUSA, thank you very much for your support.
As you might imagine, we gave quite a bit of thought as to how we could celebrate. Should we choose our one millionth active Customer and give he or she a special gift? Well, we could have done that, but all of our Customers are equally important, not just the one who put us over the top. Then someone came up with the idea that we should donate $1 to the NRA for each of our active Customers. Well, let's see, what is $1 times one million?
And so it was! On Monday morning about 10am, when we went over one million active Customers, MidwayUSA authorized our bank to send a wire transfer of one million dollars to the NRA/ILA National Endowment for the Protection of the 2nd Amendment; because we can and because we should.

I like Midway USA and order about $1000 to $2000 worth of stuff from them per year and always do the "round up" for the NRA at check out. Glad to see they made such a significant donation. If I can find a local dealer I go there but Midway usually has it when others don't. That said, I have a small and nit picky issue which has nothing to do with service which always has been great.

Why does Larry Potterfield have to be in every picture and video they make? I know it's his company but it's annoying not to see other people and faces of the company. There is branding an image but it maybe time to show more of the company rather than Larry doing gunsmithing, Larry shooting, Larry reloading, Larry getting an award etc. I am sure he is a nice guy but every time I get a sales flyer or catalog there he is. Oh well, again it's his company and I am sure he knows his business model better than anyone.

I'm Larry Potterfield, and that's the way it is.

I've been a fan of Midway as well. Their prices sometimes aren't the best out there but they ship fast and don't charge an arm and a leg to do it. Example, I wanted a choke for my shotgun and found it on Brownells and Midway. Brownells wanted something like 13.00 to ship a 34.00 choke and Midway wanted 4.00. Go Midway!

[Eric Marleau]

If I have to order something and Midway has it, I always order from them.
Even if the price is more, I know that I will get top notch service.
They are far and away the best company out there.

Sure is a lot of customers. I read the range bags they have are pretty solid, might have to buy one soon.
