Their contributions keep us on the cutting-edge of our industry, and being selected as the NASGW Ammunition Manufacturer of the Year is the direct result of our loyal and dedicated workforce."

Each year, the NASGW awards top accessory, ammunition and firearms manufacturers who best demonstrate a commitment to two-step distribution, and who provide outstanding value and service. The award is selected by NASGW members, and based on criteria that assess manufacturers on distribution policy, marketing, sales and promotion, logistics and operations, and NASGW and industry support. This comprehensive judging process provides a balanced appraisal that truly identifies the best of the best in the shooting industry.
