"When I first handled a green Springfield Armory Echelon handgun with a Trijicon RMR green dot at SHOT Show, I immediately thought how it would be a fun way to celebrate springtime and conservation with the Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation, Federal Ammunition and Gun Broker," stated OSCF Board Member Julie Golob.
As all products for this auction were donated, with all proceeds going toward OSCF's research, communications and initiatives. These initiatives, such as "Fill A Bag While Filling Your Tag," "COME WITH!" and "Connecting with Conservation," aim to promote the positive contributions of HATS™ to conservation efforts.
