Winchester Becomes a Silver Sponsor of the NSSF Rimfire Challenge Program

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) is pleased to announce that Winchester Ammunition has signed on as a Silver Sponsor of the Rimfire Challenge. With a company history of almost 150 years, Winchester Ammunition is a global supplier of firearms ammunition and is one of the most recognizable brands in the industry.

The NSSF Rimfire Challenge, a program of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting, and shooting sports industry, focuses on competition with .22-caliber rifles and pistols. The program was designed to introduce new shooters to the shooting sports in an exciting and family friendly way. Open to shooters of all ages and abilities, Rimfire Challenge matches are conducted on a host of ranges nationwide, with a match format that emphasizes safety, fun, and support for newcomers.

“Being involved as a Silver Sponsor with the NSSF’s Rimfire Challenge is something we’re pleased to participate in,” said Brett Flaugher, Vice President of Marketing, Sales and Strategy for Winchester Ammunition. “We are thoroughly committed to assisting individuals who are new to shooting and look forward to watching them develop and become part of the shooting sports.”

“We are excited to have industry leader Winchester Ammunition join us in supporting the NSSF Rimfire Challenge at the Silver level,” said Zach Snow, NSSF Manager of Shooting Promotions. “Winchester’s generous commitment will certainly help provide newcomers to the shooting sports the foundation they need for exploring the competitive side of firearms, many for the first time, in an enthusiastic and welcoming way.”
