Slideshow: Family Fun at the 2016 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits

The 2016 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Louisville, Kentucky, has come to a close...but the joy families experienced will be remembered forever. Here, a young attendee gets a closer look at one of the over 750 exhibitors.

One of the best things about attending the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits is the chance to get a better look at that gun you've been reading about. Here, Mossberg's Linda Powell provides expert advice to a showgoer.

One of the show's biggest draws has always been the Pyramyd Air Air Gun Range. This year, the Range was located right on the exhibition show hall floor, making it extra convenient for everyone to drop by. Here, an attendee tries his hand at a Benjamin air rifle under the close supervision of one of the many Range Safety Officers.

Eddie Eagle, NRA's award-winning gun-safety program for the youngest children, was on hand "in person" to delight his fans.

One of the best things about attending the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits is the opportunity to attend free seminars from industry experts. Whether you'd like to learn more about how to secure your home against a burglar, hear unique facts about historical firearms from noted experts or (as here) learn how to train your hunting dog, we've got you covered.

Sunday may be the last day of the exhibitions, seminars and other attractions, but we always save the best for last: Youth Day is a free event open to families that offers face painting, lessons from the 2016 Brownells/NRA Youth Ambassadors, and lots of other kid-friendly activities. Here, a young attendee enjoys knocking down targets with a multi-shot rubber-band "gun."
