Your Spending Has Big Impact

Twenty million target shooters spend about $10 billion a year--nearly the same amount of spending that occurs at the Apple App Store! Those target-shooting expenditures support more than 185,000 jobs and businesses from coast to coast. The numbers, compiled into this useful infographic, come from NSSF's new report, "Target Shooting in America: Millions of Shooters, Billions of Dollars." Combined spending by both target shooters and hunters results in an overall economic boost to the nation of more than $110 billion! That's yet another contribution by sportsmen and women to America, along with supporting conservation and our great sporting heritage.
