“In the last year, over 8 million people purchased their first firearm,” said Shaun Phelan, Orchid VP of Sales and Marketing.  “The NSSF has been developing and implementing programs across the country to help equip industry business with the knowledge and resources they need to help keep new and existing firearms owners actively involved in hunting and the shooting sports.  We are excited to help the NSSF share the latest research about these new participants and how organizations can join the NSSF in promoting the safe, fun, and responsible use of firearms.

“Central to our mission is helping our industry understand their consumers and keep them engaged so they will become lifetime participants and advocates of hunting and the shooting sports.  We are looking forward to meeting with key industry staff who can participate and amplify these programs in person at the upcoming FICC conference.” said John McNamara; NSSF.
