I just received an email statong Midway reached its millionth active customer. In celebration they donated $1million to the NRA representing each of their customers.

I love this place and will order more from there.

I just got that e-mail a few minutes ago. What a great guy and great company! I always go there first for my shooting wants and needs, now I have yet another reason.
 
Their website was being fussy when I was trying to look this up...dunno if they have a huge influx of traffic right now or what
 
Received the same email at 1555 CST and will continue buying from MidWay as well as donating to their NRA Round Up. That program alone saw MidWay's customers donate another $1,000,000 to NRA/ILA last year. Great selection, service and fast shipping.

I agree.

I also support Bass Pro Shops because they support the NRA as well.
 
Here's the email that went out (sorry, no pics)

Hopefully nobody will mind if I repost the full email from Midway here (bolding is mine)...

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.

Thanks a Million!
