Remington Ammunition Helps Proclaim August as National Shooting Sports Month

LONOKE, Ark. –– Remington, a proud Arkansas-based company, recently worked closely with industry partner, The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), on submission to the Governor's office to officially proclaim the Month of August as “Shooting Sports Month” in the state of Arkansas. The proclamation document was authorized and announced by Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and signed by Secretary of State Cole Jester.

“We are grateful and truly blessed to have such passionate partners to celebrate and encourage people to participate in National Shooting Sports Month.

The Arkansas-based ammunition maker employs many second and third-generation employees for whom their role in the industry is quite literally a legacy. Remington Ammunition is a true partner when it comes to celebrating and encouraging others to take part in hunting and the shooting sports.”

At our Remington facility in Lonoke, Arkansas, we also operate a public shooting range to continue our shooting sports heritage. We believe in our people, products, and we believe in supporting our hunting and shooting sports heritage and appreciate all that the National Shooting Sports Foundation does to promote these efforts."
