EAST ALTON, Ill. (July 29, 2019)— August is National Shooting Sports Month®, a time to celebrate recreational sport shooting and encourage others to visit a shooting range—and shoot. Now, more than ever before, people all over the United States, more than 50 million in fact, participate in some form of target shooting each year. Their motivation? To spend time with family and friends, to enjoy sport and recreation.

Winchester, a leader in the shooting sports industry for more than 150 years, is supporting National Shooting Sports Month with special events and promotions at its shooting ranges in East Alton, Ill., and at the all-new McIvor Shooting Facility in Sardis, Miss.
