As a top priority for 2021, our new Project 48 mission is designed to welcome, engage and educate the record number of new hunters, shooters and gun owners recruited in 2020. To help us reach these new members of the shooting community, we’ve recruited several Project 48 partners who are leading efforts to shift the narrative around gun ownership and laying the infrastructure for the most critical issues facing our industry- new hunter recruitment and new shooter education. The Project 48 lineup will be announced throughout 2021 and is set to include a unique pool of talent that includes military personnel, professional athletes, 2A activists and more.
