“We are proud to have been part of this year’s Shooting Industry Masters competition,” said Ken Pfau, Vice President of Law Enforcement and Commercial Sales at FNH USA. “Congratulations to Tasha — and the rest of Team FNH USA — for a job well done.”
“The folks at FNH USA are responsible for a sizable chunk of the money raised for First Shots by hosting an exciting 3-gun side match,” said Randy Molde, FMG Publications. “Masters competitors were thrilled with the opportunity to experience the action that 3-gun competition provides. We appreciate all the work FNH USA put into producing such a popular event.”
“More than 200 shooters participated in FNH USA’s side match this weekend in over 100 degree heat,” said Pfau. “Now that’s a dedicated team! They were out there, excited to have the opportunity to show spectators what 3-gun is all about.”
