National Shooting Sports Foundation PAC at SHOT SHOW

National Shooting Sports Foundation

NEWTOWN, Conn --(Ammoland.com)- The 2012 SHOT Show will kick off a critically important presidential election year.

The results of the election could cause seismic changes in the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industry.

The NSSF PAC will be at the show in the NSSF Membership Booth (No. L221) to collect prior consent forms from NSSF corporate members.

Federal law requires the PAC to obtain the prior consent of NSSF corporate members before the PAC can communicate with the members’ executive and administrative personnel about PAC activities.

Remember, the NSSF PAC is the only federal political action committee solely dedicated to promoting, protecting and preserving America’s hunting and shooting sports industry, your business and our firearms freedoms.

Membership in the PAC sends a strong, collective message to our elected officials that industry members are an informed, involved and politically active group. NSSF corporate members that would like to provide consent for the coming year prior to the show are encouraged to do so by downloading the form and returning it to Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF PAC treasurer, by scanning it and emailing it to nssfpac@nssf.org or faxing it to 203-426-7182.

Union Sportsmen’s Alliance

Nashville, TN --(Ammoland.com)- The Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA) is pleased to announce a new partnership with one of America’s shooting optics icons—the Burris Company.

Part of the Beretta family, the Burris Company recently joined forces with Steiner Optik—combining an unparalleled selection of award-winning scopes and binoculars perfect for sportsmen and women, military and law enforcement personnel and adventurers on all seven continents.

“With record growth and participation for the USA in 2011, this unique partnership directly aligns Burris’ innovative spirit with our members’ interest in hunting and the shooting sports,” said USA Deputy Director Mike d’Oliveira.

“We are particularly proud of the alignment of the U.S. made line of optics that Burris provides including the Black Diamond and Signature Select line of scopes.”

Showcased in a variety of traditional media formats available through the USA, Burris will be featured as the official optics partner of Brotherhood Outdoors, the USA’s popular TV show on Sportsman Channel. During the show’s second season (Spring 2012), each guest will receive an array of Burris and Steiner products to assist them with their episode.

“The Burris Company is excited to partner with the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance in their efforts to get more people involved in hunting and shooting,” said Robert Siemers, General Manager at the Burris Company. “Both the Burris and Steiner brands offer premium optics that are a great fit for the USA’s TV show and shooting events.”
