Whitetails Unlimited to Celebrate National Shooting Sports Month

Whitetails Unlimited announces its involvement in National Shooting Sports Month, in partnership with the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF). Created to encourage participation in the shooting sports and emphasize firearm safety, National Shooting Sports Month will take place throughout the month of August. “We are excited to see NSSF promoting National Shooting Sports Month,” said WTU President Jeff Schinkten. “This is the perfect opportunity for both beginner and experienced shooters to get out on the range and practice for the upcoming hunting season.”

Whether you’re an experienced target shooter, a hunter, or a person just becoming interested in acquiring a first firearm and learning how to shoot, NSSF and Whitetails Unlimited invite you to head out to the range during National Shooting Sports Month so you can improve your shooting and firearm safety skills.
