Aguila Ammunition Newest Supporter of NSSF’s First Shots Program
NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms industry, is pleased to announce that Aguila Ammunition[1] has agreed to be the official rimfire ammunition sponsor for the organization’s First Shots[2] program. Aguila Ammunition is a leading manufacturer of rimfire, centerfire and shotshell ammunition, with a primary manufacturing facility in Cuernavaca, Mexico and a new U.S. facility in Conroe, Texas. Texas Armament & Technology[3] is the exclusive North American distributor for Aguila Ammunition.
“Having worked with Aguila when NSSF administered the Rimfire Challenge program, and most recently with the successful Aguila Cup[4] this past June at Fossil Pointe Sporting Grounds[5] in Decatur, Texas, I can tell you that this is a company deeply invested in getting people active in the shooting sports,” said Zach Snow, NSSF Director, Shooting Range Services. “We are very pleased to have them now support the First Shots program by providing rimfire ammunition to all ranges participating in these important safety and skills-building introductory experiences.”
“Aguila Ammunition is proud to support NSSF‘s First Shots initiative,” said Kristi Heuring, Director of Marketing for Aguila Ammunition. “The growth of the shooting sports industry is dependent upon introducing and educating new shooters on all facets of shooting from gun safety to shooting competitions. Aguila is happy to be the ammo used when new shooters are taking their first shots.”
The NSSF First Shots program recognizes that the biggest challenge for new shooters is simply getting started. First Shots eases that challenge by providing basic safety instruction and a fun, memorable introduction to target shooting.
