At this year’s Masters, FMG Publications raised thousands of dollars for NSSF’s First Shots program and USA Shooting. The final amount of money raised will be announced after the completion of an auction on GunBroker.com.

“We at NSSF are very thankful for all the support given to our First Shots program and thanks go to FMG Publications and all the sponsors and participants in this year’s Masters event,” said NSSF President Steve Sanetti.

“Getting prospective recreational shooters with diverse backgrounds to take that all-important ‘first shot’ is so important to our entire industry in this time when so many anti-gun forces are trying to demonize firearms, gun owners and our industry. ”

“With partners like FMG Publications, and the support of the record number of competitors that came out to the Shooting Industry Masters to have fun and contribute to the ongoing success of First Shots, the future of the shooting sports will remain bright.”

In addition, more than $4,000 was raised at the ‘Honors For HAVA’ Golf Tournament, held in conjunction with the Masters. Owned and operated by FMG Publications, the Shooting Industry Masters is an industry-only event that provides those in the industry an opportunity to enjoy shooting in a family reunion environment.
