NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the firearm industry trade association, is pleased to announce that White Flyer Targets has donated $5,000 in support of outdoor ranges hosting NSSF’s newly revamped First Shots® “Introduction to Shotgun”[1] events. Headquartered in Ringoes, New Jersey, White Flyer Targets[2] manufactures a wide variety of pitch and biodegradable targets for use in skeet, trap, sporting clays, five-stand and FITASC shotgun games.
“Indoor ranges across the country have seen how First Shots[3] handgun introduction events provide an easy, safe and genuinely fun way to let people experience their first time shooting, while also serving as a lynchpin for customer engagement that encourages and produces returning clients,” said Zach Snow, NSSF Director, Retail & Range Business Development. “We are making a concerted effort this year to expand involvement by outdoor ranges with an identically modeled ‘Introduction to Shotguns’ format, and this support from White Flyer will go a long way towards helping host ranges offset the costs associated with these events.”
“The clay target sports are some of the fastest growing in our industry, in no small part because anyone can be successful in them, but also because they offer a great deal of excitement and entertainment,” said Robert Crow, White Flyer’s National Sales Manger/Northeast Sales Manager. “We are proud to help outdoor ranges realize the benefits of NSSF’s First Shots program and introduce an entirely new audience of shooters to all the clay games have to offer.”
NSSF’s flagship First Shots program is designed to educate first-time firearm owners and those seeking to purchase their first gun about the fundamentals of safe handling, responsible storage and basic handling skills. Events are small, usually no more
