Joseph Chiarello & Co., Inc. Partners with NSSF as Silver Sponsor of the NSSF Rimfire Challenge Program

NEWTOWN, Conn. — Dedicated to providing extraordinary insurance options for the firearms industry, Joseph Chiarello & Co., Inc., is throwing its support to the NSSF Rimfire Challenge as a Silver Sponsor. Endorsed by the NSSF, Joseph Chiarello & Co., Inc., has been in business for 80 years and specializes in providing commercial general liability and property insurance to a wide range of firearms industry businesses, such as retailers, wholesalers, gunsmiths, accessory and ammunition manufacturers, shooting ranges, gun manufacturers, hunting and shooting clubs, and importers and exporters.

A program of the National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industry, the Rimfire Challenge (originally developed by Ruger and formerly known as the Ruger Rimfire Challenge), focuses on competition with .22-caliber rifles and pistols. Though the match format emphasizes safety, fun, and support for newcomers, Rimfire Challenge matches are open to shooters of all ages and shooting experience levels and events are conducted on a host of ranges nationwide.

“Having Joseph Chiarello & Co., Inc., join the Rimfire Challenge as a Silver Sponsor is precedent setting,” said Zach Snow, NSSF Manager of Shooting Promotions. “It lets everyone know—range owners, consumers, manufacturers, buyers, sellers and certainly the consumer—that they are dedicated to meeting business needs unique to the firearms industry and, ultimately, the consumers who invest so much of their time and money in pursuing shooting sports like the Rimfire Challenge.”

“We are proud to help support the Rimfire Challenge. We have provided insurance solutions to the firearms industry for more than 30 years and appreciate any opportunity to help support and grow the industry,” said Joseph Chiarello, Vice President of Joseph Chiarello & Co., Inc..

There are still opportunities remaining for additional Rimfire Challenge sponsor support. Please contact Zach Snow, NSSF Manager of Shooting Promotions, at 203-426-1320 x224 for more information.
