Ruger Joins NSSF Shooting Sports
Fantasy Camp as Silver Sponsor

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms industry, is pleased to announce that Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc., has agreed to sponsor the inaugural NSSF Shooting Sports Fantasy Camp at the Silver level. With corporate headquarters based in Southport, Connecticut, and production facilities in Newport, New Hampshire, Prescott, Arizona and Mayodan, North Carolina, Ruger is a leading manufacturer of handguns, rifles, pistols and related accessories for consumer and law enforcement markets.

“We’re thrilled to have an industry leader like Ruger as a sponsor of this first Shooting Sports Fantasy Camp,” said Chris Dolnack, NSSF Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. “Its continued support of the industry speaks volumes to their commitment to expanding opportunities for customers to engage in new, unique experiences.”

“We believe this Shooting Sports Fantasy Camp will be a very exciting opportunity for shooters who are fortunate enough to participate,” said Chris Killoy, Ruger President and COO. “The NSSF is constantly at the forefront of innovation when it comes to hosting events that generate such enthusiasm for the shooting sports, and we are very proud to sponsor an event put on by our trade association.”

NSSF’s Shooting Sports Fantasy Camp, modeled after the success of similarly designed events in the race car and major league baseball industries, features a full weekend of shooting instruction for just 30 guests from some of the most notable names in professional shooting, including Julie Golob, Jerry and Kay Clark Miculek, Jessie Duff, Dianna Muller and K.C. Eusebio. The Clark County Shooting Complex in Las Vegas, Nevada, will be the host range for the event, which will take place from March 31 to April 2. In addition to the weekend of shooting, the Shooting Sports Fantasy Camp includes transportation to and from McCarran Airport, to and from the shooting range and the host hotel, Aliante Casino + Hotel, all meals from the time each guests arrives, a swag bag full of some of today’s best shooting gear, evening cocktail receptions, and more.
