TANDEMKROSS Renews Platinum Sponsorship for 2017 Rimfire Challenge Program

NEWTOWN, Conn.—The National Shooting Sports Foundation^® (NSSF^®), the trade association for the firearms industry, is pleased to announce that TANDEMKROSS has renewed its support of the Rimfire Challenge as the Platinum-level title sponsor. Headquartered in Hooksett, New Hampshire, TANDEMKROSS is a supplier of firearm parts and accessories that are made in the U.S.A.

“We are so pleased that this company continues to lead the charge with this important program,” said Tisma Juett, NSSF Manager, Recruitment and Retention. “It is a company making every effort to connect with the shooters using its products, while encouraging active, regular participation in the shooting sports, and that’s an example everyone in our industry can follow.”

“We are so honored to support this circuit at its highest level for another year,” said Bryan Haaker, TANDEMKROSS Business Development Manager. “NSSF Rimfire Challenge is so critical to the firearms community. While many experts participate in this sport, it is an absolutely critical gateway for new shooters, youths and families.”

Now in its fourth year as a program of NSSF, Rimfire Challenge provides a way for novice shooters to experience their first competitions via a family-friendly and highly supportive atmosphere. Matches utilize a two-gun format of .22 LR handguns and rifles, making the Rimfire Challenge an economical sport for new competitors. Focusing on both safety and fun, the competitions are open to all ages and skill levels, with participation by recreational shooters new to competition specifically encouraged. The 2017 Rimfire Challenge World Championship is the culminating event following the program’s year-round, nationwide competitions at the local and regional levels, and will take place Oct. 13-15. For the second year in a row, the match will be hosted by the Cavern Cove Rimfire shooting facility in Woodville, Alabama. Registration will open later this summer.
