Industry Research and Statistics

The "Industry Research Services" section of National Shooting Sports Foundation's (NSSF) Web site is your one-stop online resource for research and statistics on recreational shooting sports and hunting.

The NSSF Research Department examines the shooting sports and hunting and their impact on society through our own proprietary internal surveys and analysis. NSSF also works closely with other organizations and researchers to provide a broad spectrum of syndicated reports, studies and current statistics. Navigate through our list of research features. If you can't find the information you need, let us know. We'll network within the industry to find it for you. E-mail the NSSF Research Department directly at research@nssf.org or call 203-426-1320.

All research reports are available at reduced rates for NSSF members. If you are not an NSSF member we encourage you to join so that you can enjoy big savings on all your research needs.
