The shooting, hunting and firearms industry’s leading trade association, NSSF helps promote, protect and preserve the outdoors industry and opportunities for sportsmen and women to hunt and shoot, including on public lands. NSSF joins a growing list of influencers in the outdoors industry that are standing up in support of BHA. “BHA is the fastest growing hunting and fishing organization in the world and is driven by our mission to make sure we all have access to public lands and waters and the fish and wildlife when we get there,” said BHA President and CEO Land Tawney. “We are pleased that NSSF has joined our cause to help achieve the BHA mission. North America is unique the world over in our public lands opportunities, and we must band together to ensure they’ll remain available to future generations.” NSSF’s mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of more than 12,000 manufacturers, distributors, firearms retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers.
