In addition, the company will have a VIP area inside the shooting range for all their shooters, collaborators and clients.

This sponsorship is another example of our commitment to this sport and to the US market. During the next few days the best international shooters will be able to test the performance of these specially-loaded cartridges from our Marshall factory and for those of us at RIO it makes us proud to do what we do.”, explains Eduardo Baeza, RIO’s Director in the US.
