Kimber R7 Mako Pistol Wins 2022 Golden Bullseye Award

TROY, AL, Jan. 11, 2022 — Kimber Mfg., Inc., is pleased to announce the R7 Mako pistol won a coveted Golden Bullseye Award from NRA’s Shooting Illustrated magazine, taking the trophy for the magazine’s “Handgun of the Year” category.
Doug Hamlin, executive director of NRA Publications, stated, “These are the industry’s best new products, representative of the top products introduced by the firearm industry for NRA Members.”
Released August 19, 2021, the R7 Mako is Kimber’s initial foray into the high-capacity, micro-compact polymer pistol market. The R7 Mako uses Kimber’s new proprietary Performance Carry Trigger™ and a unique barrel lock-up design to extract unparalleled accuracy. The trigger garnered high praise with media touting it as the best trigger in a concealed-carry pistol ever, saying no aftermarket trigger is needed. In independent NRA testing, the R7 Mako’s groups were about half the size of leading comparable guns; all R7 Mako groups measured well under an inch (0.76” average).
Other benefits the R7 Mako gives to consumers are class-leading total capacity of 12 rounds (14 rounds total capacity if using the extended magazine), and the ability to co-witness the iron sights with the optic installed (OI) model, which features the CT 1500 red-dot optic. Aftermarket accessories soon will include state-compliant 10-round magazines and 15-round extended magazines.
Greg Grogan, Chief Strategy Officer at Kimber, said, “The Kimber team worked diligently to understand the customer needs, study the competition, and design the ideal micro-compact polymer pistol. We’re extremely proud of the R7 Mako, and winning the Golden Bullseye Award from Shooting Illustrated for ‘Handgun of the Year’ proves our hard work paid off. Winning this award is an honor, and we’re thankful the NRA saw in the R7 Mako what we knew all along: This pistol is a testament to Kimber’s relentless pursuit of innovation, performance, and craftmanship. We’re looking forward to expanding into even further new territory with continued success.”

Big Horn Armory to Exhibit at the 2022 Industry Day at the Range

Posted on Wednesday, 12 January, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

All of BHA’s popular big-bore firearms will be available for hands-on testing by the press and retail, wholesale, and law enforcement purchasing agents on Jan. 17, 2022.

Big Horn Armory to Exhibit at the 2022 Industry Day at the Range™

All of BHA’s popular big-bore firearms will be available for hands-on testing by the press and retail, wholesale, and law enforcement purchasing agents on Jan. 17, 2022.

Cody, Wyo. (January 2022) – Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, will have all of its most popular big-bore firearms at the 2022 Industry Day at the Range™ for the press and retail, wholesale, and law enforcement purchasing agents to experience hands-on testing. The event will be held at the Boulder Pistol and Rifle Club in Boulder City, Nevada, on Jan. 17, 2022. The rifles on the range will include various flavors of the Model 89, the only repeating rifle in the powerful 500 S&W Magnum, as well as the most powerful AR rifle and pistol ever produced, the AR500. BHA will also be providing a sneak peek to attendees of its soon-to-be-released tactical lever-action rifle.

BHA is not your average gun manufacturer. Founded in 2008 with the goal of designing a Browning-type lever-action gun, chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum, BHA builds guns that give us a reason to jump out of bed in the morning, and for us, that means the bigger the better.

The first gun to start shipping in Sept. 2012 was the Model 89. The design closely follows the work of Browning, with some modern metallurgy and machining techniques. BHA was so enamored with the power of the 500 Smith & Wesson in a rifle, that it decided to keep going big with the AR500.

The AR500 rifle is an AR rifle like no other. Chambered in 500 Auto Max, BHA’s groundbreaking AR500 Rifle is the most powerful AR firearm available. BHA’s bold AR design and big bore 500 Auto Max cartridge put an unparalleled amount of power into a pleasant shooting, rapid firing, versatile rifle. This combination of size, familiar manual-of-arms, available accessories, and energy on target make the AR500 Rifle ready to handle almost any situation. The AR500 is also available in a braced-pistol configuration: the AR500 semi-auto pistol.

Whether it’s packing 36,800 ft. lbs. of energy in a lever-action, or building the most powerful AR on the market, BHA’s goal is to give the customer the biggest bang for his or her buck.

Industry Day at the Range is owned and operated by CMG Marketing & Events and Triple Curl Advertising and PR. Held annually the day before the opening of SHOT Show®, Industry Day provides invited members of the press and retail, wholesale, and law enforcement purchasing agents the opportunity for hands-on testing of firearms, ammunition, and related accessories being introduced to the consumer market during SHOT Show. In 2020, more than 2,000 media members and buyers joined 200 exhibitors at the shooting and hunting industry’s marquee event located 30 minutes from downtown Las Vegas. The National Shooting Sports Foundation is the title sponsor of the Industry Day at the Range.

Media members and buyers attending Industry Day at the Range can set up appointments to try BHA’s big-bore firearms by contacting Matt Foster at mfoster@fmj556.com.

About Big Horn Armory:

Big Horn Armory was founded in 2008 with the expressed intention of designing a Browning-type lever-action gun chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The Big Horn Armory Model 89, made in America, closely follows the work of John Browning with refinements courtesy of modern metallurgy and machining capabilities. The first rifles began shipping in September of 2012 and since then, BHA has added to their big bore lineup with a Model 90 Carbine in 460 S&W, the Model 90A in 454 Casull, the Model 90B in .45 Colt, the Model 89A in 500 Linebaugh and the Model 89B in .475 Linebaugh. In 2017, Big Horn Armory took a departure from its lever-action series and developed the AR500 Auto Max, the most powerful short-range, semi-auto based on an AR .308 platform.

SCI Convention Corporate Sponsors

Posted on Wednesday, 12 January, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Spotlight: SCI Convention Corporate Sponsors

Washington, D.C. (January 11, 2022) – The annual Safari Club International Convention would largely be impossible without corporate sponsorship, so we’d like to take a moment to recognize some of our biggest corporate sponsors ahead of our 50th anniversary.

Umarex

Umarex is one of the biggest names in air guns, offering everything from pellet guns to airsoft replicas to paintball guns and more. This year the Arkansas-based company will not just co-sponsor the “Night of the Hunter” banquet and auction, but they also signed a multi-year corporate sponsorship deal with SCI. Umarex’s financial support will aid SCI in hunter advocacy, education, and conservation programs worldwide.

QuietKat

In just nine short years, QuietKat has become one of the leading electric bike makers in the country. When the twin brothers founded the company, they created a quiet alternative to ATVs and combustion-engine vehicles. The Colorado-based company has become especially popular among hunters, fishermen, and outlander enthusiasts. QuietKat will co-sponsor the “Night of the Hunter” banquet and auction hosted by famed outdoor writer J. Alain Smith.

Wildlife Partners

Wildlife Partners is a wildlife conservation company that helps hundreds of landowners in the U.S. transform their private ranches into flourishing wildlife sanctuaries. So, it makes sense that the Texas-based company has been an SCI corporate sponsor since 2014. Although Wildlife Partners is a for-profit business, they share SCI’s mission in promoting hunting and wildlife conservation. Wildlife Partners is sponsoring Friday night’s dinner and auction with special guests Donald Trump, Jr., Medal of Honor recipient Edward Byers, and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem.

Bass Pro / Cabela’s

Bass Pro Shops is more than just one of the biggest outdoor retailers in the country; the Missouri-based company has also been an SCI corporate sponsor since 2007. SCI credits Bass Pro and Cabela’s, which Bass Pro acquired in 2017, for supporting their efforts in promoting hunting heritage. Yet, Bass Pro is more than just a supporter; they consider it part of their mission to advocate for sportsmen’s rights and protect wildlife habitats. Bass Pro and Cabela’s are sponsoring Saturday night’s “Celebrating 50 Years of Freedom” with musician Craig Morgan and guest speaker Tucker Carlson. They’re also backing the coveted SCI Young Hunter Awards.

Celebrate SCI’s 50-year history at the SCI annual convention at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas on Jan. 19-22, 2022. Registration is open now at www.safariclub.org/convention.

For 50 years, Safari Club International (SCI) has been the leading defender of the freedom to hunt and supporter of wildlife conservation worldwide.

SCI is unique in the scope of our ability to defend and advance our freedom to hunt. SCI is the only hunting rights organization with a Washington, D.C.- based international advocacy team and an all-species focus. SCI mobilizes our 152 chapters and affiliate network representing 7.2 million hunters around the world. The conservation projects of SCI’s sister organization, the SCI Foundation, support research, management and rural communities in North America, Africa and Central Asia. In addition, SCI’s Annual Hunters’ Convention is the world’s largest marketplace that celebrates our freedom to hunt.

DC PROJECT TO HOLD PRESS CONFERENCE

“WHY SECOND AMENDMENT ADVOCACY MATTERS”

DURING SHOT SHOW 2022

Indiana, PA – (January 11, 2022) – The DC Project will hold a press conference during the Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT Show®), titled “Why Second Amendment Advocacy Matters” on Tuesday, January 18, from 11 am – 12 pm in the Venetian, Marcello Room 4401A.

All media is invited to join the women of the DC Project as they share highlights from their Second Amendment advocacy successes in 2021. Learn how the organization has grown from 50 volunteers to encompass thousands of women across America. Then hear from Congressional leaders about how the DC Project impacts issues in Washington, D.C., and state capitols. Discover how the phrase “Educate NOT Legislate” influences the preservation of our right to keep and bear arms.

“As a nationwide organization of women committed to safeguarding the Second Amendment, it’s important for us to keep the shooting industry media aware of what we are accomplishing on the battlefield toward preserving our gun rights,” stated DC Project Founder Dianna Muller. “Giving thanks to those companies and individuals who have supported us throughout this six-year journey is equally important because, without their backing, we would not have the impact with policymakers we enjoy today,” she added.

DC Project Press Conference

· Why Second Amendment Advocacy Matters

· Tuesday, January 18

· 11 am -12 pm PST

· Marcello Room 4401A – Venetian Congress Center · https://shotshow.org/press-room-resources/

Women for Gun Rights

The DC Project affirms that firearms safety and violence prevention are achieved through education, not legislation. We encourage the preservation of America’s gun culture and highlight the diversity and rising demographic of female gun owners through ongoing advocacy because gun rights are women’s rights. According to Muller, “We believe that self-defense is a human right and that we are our own first responders. We understand the importance of preserving the right to protect ourselves. Our foundation members regularly stand before legislators and lawmakers on the frontlines of this battle to protect this crucial right and make their voices heard through education.

Bollé Safety launches new Bollé Safety Standard Issue tactical eyewear brand featuring eyewear from Jade Struck

Posted on Monday, 10 January, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Leading global eyewear manufacturer Bollé Safety launches new Bollé Safety Standard Issue tactical eyewear brand featuring eyewear from Jade Struck

Bollé Safety the world-renowned leading manufacturer of safety glasses and goggles, has announced the rebranding of its Bollé Tactical division to become Bollé Safety Standard Issue. The new Bollé Safety Standard Issue features a range of products designed to offer unparalleled eye protection for tactical professions including law enforcement, first responders, firefighters, EMS, military and special forces, as well as shooting enthusiasts and hunters. The division’s mission is focused on the development of ballistic and protective eyewear while concentrating on improved comfort, style, and safety, giving tactical customers the competitive advantage they need to do their job in the safest way possible.

Jade Struck (PRNewsfoto/Bollé Safety)

As part of the launch of this new brand, Bollé Safety Standard Issue has worked with Jade Struck, the competitive shooter, firearms instructor, model and actress, to create a pair of custom tactical glasses called The SENTINEL STRUCK. “As a firearms instructor, safety is my top priority, so I believe that all gear plays an important role, but I believe that eye protection is the most important,” said Struck. “A great pair of safety glasses shouldn’t just protect your eyes, but should also help you perform to the best of your abilities, so that’s what I’m hoping we’re bringing to the table with the SENTINEL STRUCK.” Certified to MIL-PRF-32432 A and ANSI Z87.1 safety standards to ensure maximum protection, these ballistic sunglasses are specifically tailored for the active woman who partakes in shooting, and other outdoor activities.

Like the SENTINEL STUCK sunglasses, each Bollé Safety Standard Issue product is a tailor-made solution that answers the specific needs of its wearers. The entire range of protective eyeglasses are crafted to be compliant with all major international safety standards worldwide.

“Our mission is to provide the best eye protection to those who need it and the people who protect us, beyond just the military field, so renaming the Bollé Tactical Division was evident,” explained Rubina Meunier, Vice President of Brand from Bollé Safety. “Bollé Safety Standard Issue is a more comprehensive name, with the ‘Standard Issue’ phrasing resonating globally and the new logo being catchy, bold, and a bit mysterious.”

About Bollé Safety

Bollé Safety provides technology-based lens applications and treatments specifically developed for protective eyewear and is a leading global manufacturer of protective eyewear worn by first responders, military, healthcare professionals, industrial workers, shooting enthusiasts and hunters all around the world. Having originated as part of the Bollé Family, a small workshop in France founded over 130 years ago, Bollé Safety went on to become the pioneer in creating tactical eyewear in the late 1950’s. They were the first eyewear manufacturer to use molded nylon to make protective glasses which were more resilient and flexible while protecting the eyes of the military. Cutting edge lens advancements, with ANSI and Ballistic ratings, and superior frame ergonomics, have made Bollé Safety and Bollé Safety Standard Issue an industry leader in this category. Today, Bollé Safety eye protection is worn by more than 20 million customers in over 100 countries.

Nomad’s Hailstorm NXT Line Shines Even When Wet

Posted on Monday, 10 January, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

Nomad’s Hailstorm NXT Line Shines Even When Wet

Charleston, SC (Jan 9, 2022) – Hunting in the rain can be challenging; hunting in the rain and getting wet is downright intolerable. Staying dry, especially in cooler temperatures, means wearing high-quality rain gear designed for the toughest conditions. Nomad’s Hailstorm NXT Jacket and Pants fit this requirement perfectly.

The Hailstorm NXT Jacket and Pants features a quiet and stretchable 2.5-layer shell rated 35k waterproof and 15k breathable. It repels water from drizzles to downpours while allowing for heat and condensation to escape. Windproof and waterproof taped seams help keep moisture out, even when moving through the woods and or climbing into a stand.

Hunters will find that the jacket provides plenty of room for gear in the zippered chest pockets, and the deep, zippered hand pockets keep you dry and warm. In warm conditions, the zippered armpits help hunters stay cooler by letting body heat dissipate. The jacket also sports an adjustable hood and hem for a perfect fit.

The Hailstorm NXT pants utilize the same great waterproof and windproof protection from waist to ankles. When walking, crawling or kneeling, the taped seams protect from rain and wet foliage. Zippered leg openings allow for easy dressing or removal over pants and boots. The pants have ample zippered and cargo pockets to provide room for essential gear.

The jacket and pants are available in either Mossy Oak® Hybrid Droptine or Mossy Oak® Hybrid Migrate, exclusive to Nomad. These patterns offer exceptional depth with sharp-edged contrast and will work equally well for whitetail, big game and waterfowl hunting applications.

Get to Know U.S. LawShield®

Posted on Monday, 10 January, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

GET TO KNOW U.S. LAWSHIELD®

Expansive Legal Defense for Self Defense®Coverage for Responsible Gun Owners

Houston, Texas – January 7, 2022 – U.S. LawShield®, industry leader and America’s largest provider of Legal Defense for Self Defense® coverage, will exhibit at the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s 2022 Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, from January 18-21. Find U.S. LawShield at the Sands Expo Center on Level 1 in Booth No. 41241. Visit U.S. LawShield during SHOT Show to learn why more than 700,000 responsible gun owners choose U.S. LawShield for their legal defense coverage.

“Our mission perseveres,” said Kirk Evans, President of U.S. LawShield. “We call it ‘Preserving Freedom for Good®,’ and through our program, we educate our members in self-defense law, empower them to handle critical, life-threatening situations with confidence, and protect them from potential injustices in the legal system after acts of self-defense. The folks on our staff come from all walks of life, and we are all passionate advocates of the Second Amendment who believe in the right to keep and bear arms,” he affirmed.

Founded by attorneys in 2009, U.S. LawShield protects and defends law-abiding gun owners from the legal fallout of using a firearm to defend themselves. “In the event of an emergency, our members have the peace of mind of immediate access to an Independent Program Attorney,” said Evans. The company works with firearms dealers, instructors, and ranges to add value to members by providing gun owners education and knowledge on state-specific self-defense law.

U.S. LawShield member Jack Wilson experienced that reassurance on December 29, 2019, during an attack at the West Freeway Church of Christ in Texas. Wilson was an armed civilian leader of the church’s security program when a gunman attacked his fellow churchgoers inside the sanctuary. “Within a matter of seconds, Jack stopped the killer and defended his friends and family through his life-saving actions,” Evans said. “Even though the parties involved did not treat him as a hero, Jack’s membership in the U.S. LawShield Legal Defense for Self Defense Program protected him from legal landmines the moment he fired his gun,” added Evans. Learn more about Wilson’s experience at uslawshield.com/jack-wilson-member-story.

“Many people don’t consider the act of self-defense a crime,” according to Evans. “However, chances are good that all involved parties will be part of an investigation, and charges against either side may result. In an instant, you may have protected the ones you love, only to find your freedom is at stake—forcing you to find, retain, and pay for a criminal defense attorney,” he said. “As a member of U.S. LawShield, you have immediate access to an Independent Program Attorney in your greatest time of need.”

Benefits of U.S. LawShield Membership

An Independent Program Attorney will answer emergency calls from members any time of day or night—whether at 3 AM on a holiday morning or during afternoon rush hour. Members speak with an actual attorney who provides critically important and timely professional advice with attorney-client privilege.

“Imagine having ALL attorneys’ fees covered for self-defense,” said Evans. U.S. LawShield coverage stands at the ready throughout the entire legal process. In some cases, the nightmare doesn’t end with acquittal in criminal court—there may be appeals, retrials, or even civil lawsuits. “Uniquely, your U.S. LawShield membership is with you in both criminal and civil court,” he stated. “No matter how much time it takes to defend your liberties in the courtroom, we have your back. There’s no cap regarding attorneys’ fees.”

U.S. LawShield membership covers all legal weapons. No matter what a person uses to defend themselves, they are covered. And while gun laws everywhere are constantly changing, ignorance of them is not an excuse. U.S. LawShield offers members state-specific, members-only legal content not available anywhere else.

“A major focus for U.S. LawShield is education,” said Evans. “We keep our members informed and empowered through our book series on gun laws, online resources, and in-person programs that feature experienced attorneys, firearms instructors, and self-defense experts.” Members receive discounts through a national network of more than 6,000 affiliate gun ranges, gun stores, and retailers.

Customized Coverage

With U.S. LawShield, members receive affordable coverage for as little as $10.95 per month, plus the ability to customize their plan with meaningful, affordable, and exclusive added benefits to fit their unique needs. Add-ons include:

· Gun Owner Identity Theft Coverage
· Multi-State Protection (available in certain states only)
· Minor Children Coverage
· Bail Bond & Expert Witness Coverage

To learn more, visit U.S. LawShield at SHOT Show 2022 in Booth No. 41241.

Key new products from Primos set to debut at the ATA Trade Show include:

Hide-N-Sneak™ Ground Blind (MSRP $129.99) offers limitless concealment options at an affordable price. Brush Deception™ holders allow you to attach native brush and grasses, and the blind also offers 270-degree windows and a spring steel assist door system for easy entry.

Bushnell® Releases New Vault® Bino Harness System

New Caddy and Rangefinder Pouch Offers Maximum Protection and Easy Access

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – January 6, 2022 – Bushnell®, an industry leader in performance optics, announces the introduction of its Vault® Bino Harness System. The new Vault offers hunters and shooters effective and convenient protection for their optics in a compact design that doesn’t restrict movement in the field.

Packed with the features serious outdoorsmen and women need most in the field, the Vault has a compact, modular design that makes protecting and accessing your optics easy. A quiet magnetic closure gives you fast, one-handed access to your glass. The top closure completely covers the top of the caddy, protecting your binoculars from dust and moisture, plus it opens towards the front so the closure doesn’t get in the way while retrieving your glass.

Inside, the bino caddy features a water-resistant, soft lining that cuts down on noise and protects your objective lenses. The caddy fits up to 12×50 roof prism binoculars and can be adapted to fit smaller binos with an included riser that sits in the bottom of the pouch. Mesh pockets on the sides of the caddy are a handy place to stash mouth calls or wind checker bottles, while a zippered pocket on the back of the caddy can hold a smartphone or your tag. MOLLE webbing on the bottom of the caddy allows users to attach a handgun or bear spray holster.

Overall, the caddy is designed to be low-profile and compact so it doesn’t interfere with movement. The integrated, ultralight harness is comfortable and easy to attach and detach with the built-in buckles. Users can also detach the caddy and use the standalone harness with their binoculars.

The laser rangefinder pouch (sold separately) is constructed with the same fabric and magnetic closure as the bino caddy, and it attaches to the side of the caddy using three simple U-shaped clips. This gives users easy access to their laser rangefinder, and an integrated tether prevents them from losing it in the field.

The feature-packed Vault bino harness system has an MSRP of $69.99. The laser rangefinder pouch has an MSRP of $29.99. To learn more about these products or to see the full lineup of Bushnell optics and gear, check out Bushnell.com.

SENTRY Tactical™ Launches E-Commerce Division; Taps Brandon Shirey to Build and Lead the Charge

The past 24 months have brought new challenges, and the industry has been forced to adopt new methods to meet growing needs at both consumer and distribution levels.

Virginia Beach, Va. (January 2022) –SENTRY Tactical™, a leading manufacturer and distributor of products focused on protection, storage, and transportation of outdoor, military, and law enforcement equipment, has recently hired Brandon Shirey as Director E-Commerce Sales to support the brand expansion online.

He holds a B.S in Business Administration and Information Technology from Old Dominion University. With a real passion for the outdoors, Brandon had founded and operated a camping / hiking outfitters business for 15 years with two store locations, most recently located in Northwest, Georgia.

“I am beyond excited to be working with the majority of the team I had the honor of working with for over 10 years at BLACKHAWK! Having worked with both the sides of the market, first as a supplier, supporting E-Comm and dealer sales requests, and secondly, as a retailer evaluating the programs available from numerous manufacturers while implementing them in my own stores, I know the challenges and necessities the distributors, dealers and retailers face,” noted Shirey. “Now, I have the opportunity to evaluate programs from both sides to create a win-win for our dealers, distributors, and consumers.”

“We have several key initiatives we want to launch with the E-Commerce Division,” stated Terry Naughton, President of SENTRY Products Group. “These are focused in three key areas. First, expanded support for dealer sales by implementing a drop ship program allowing dealers to offer a blend of stocked or drop ship items across the entire SENTRY product offering. Second, provide new tools to the dealer supporting product awareness, education and display. And, third, extending our consumer reach and product education through social media.”

NSSF Announces Release of Third ‘Partner with a Payer®’ Video

Posted on Friday, 7 January, 2022 by twobirdsflyingpub

For immediate release | January 6, 2021

NSSF Announces Release of Third

‘Partner with a Payer®’ Video

Highlighting Longstanding Conservation Partnerships with Industries, State Agencies and USFWS

NEWTOWN, Conn. — NSSF®, the trade association for the firearm industry, has added a third “Partner with a Payer®” video to its website featuring Nevada’s Clark County Shooting Complex – a partnership of the Nevada Department of Wildlife and Clark County.

Video content features a variety of offerings available at the facility and highlights the volunteers and roles they fill in hunting, archery, angler and wildlife education. Hunter education is supported by excise taxes paid by firearm, ammunition and archery manufacturers on their products. The video, “Hunter Ed and Volunteers,” focuses on some of the benefits made available by this irreplaceable funding source in addition to the many volunteers that provide an amazing workforce in conducting these education programs.

NSSF participates in the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s “Partner with a Payer” initiative in order to strengthen ties between all excise tax-paying manufacturers—firearms and ammunition, archery equipment, marine and sportfishing equipment—and the state agencies that use these funds to conserve wildlife and habitats through the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration program of USFWS.

Since 1937 when the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act was enacted (today better known as the Pittman-Robertson Act), the manufacturers of firearms, ammunition and archery equipment have been part of a network consisting of sportsmen and women, state fish and wildlife agencies and USFWS to collect and distribute excise taxes—some $14 billion during this period—on their products for the benefit of wildlife conservation, hunter education and shooting ranges. Mentioning that 776 ranges have been either built or enhanced using these funds since 2014, Cliff Schleusner, Southwest Regional Manager, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service credits manufacturers as the cornerstone of this model.

NSSF President and CEO Joe Bartozzi said, “It is an incredible model of conservation funding that benefits all Americans, not just hunters and target shooters, and helps ensure sustainable wildlife and habitat for future generations. Our industry’s contributions to this program are something we’ve long been proud of, and we want the employees of companies and state agencies to be also, which is why we’re proud to be involved with the Partner with a Payer program.”

The Partner with a Payer initiative was developed to help generations of workers in the industry, state agencies and USFWS better understand this public-private partnership, the roles industry, wildlife agencies and recreational shooters play in it and the benefits everyone shares in.

Partner with a Payer also arranges for industry employees to see conservation science taking place in the field, such as at black bear research projects. “These connections between industry professionals and state agency scientists and researchers build long-lasting appreciation for each other’s work and also the funding that makes so much of what we enjoy possible,” said Bartozzi.

There are more videos highlighting additional aspects of this unique public-private partnership that will be added to the site in the weeks to come. The videos were produced by Shine United LLC / Kingdom Filmworks for the National Shooting Sports Foundation through a Multistate Conservation Grant awarded by the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
