Winchester® Launches ‘Intro to Ammunition-Ammo 101’ Educational Series

Winchester is launching its “Intro to Ammo-Ammo 101” series, a four-part series that includes custom illustrations and information on the following ammunition categories: rifle, pistol, rimfire and cartridge.

“Ammo basics, that’s what we want to offer with the Ammo 101 series,” said Matt Campbell, vice president of sales and marketing. “With millions of people in the United States beginning their shooting sports journey as new firearm owners, providing easy-to-understand information about ammunition types is one way we can help educate our customers.”

Ammo 101 series provides a basic overview of cartridges, centerfire rifles, centerfire pistols, and rimfire ammunition, showing ammunition construction, components, calibers, and common usage.

Ammo 101 is a free downloadable resource and is especially valuable to the thousands of shooting ranges and instructors across the country who are introducing new entrants to the hunting and shooting sports. It is available as a free download at Winchesters.mediaassets.com (click “Sell Sheets”).

Instructors can incorporate this into their training presentations, use it as a handout, or print it locally. For custom banners, metal signs, or printing and sizing questions, Winchester offers a printing resource available through REPCO Solutions.

About Gun Owners Beware

Gun owners worry. You worry about security. You care about preventing unauthorized access to firearms. You care about improving your community, helping those in need, and conserving wildlife and wild places for generations to come. It’s time for gun owners to tell their stories and show how they are making a difference. NSSF®, the trade association for the firearms industry, has established the Gun Owners Care campaign to unite gun owners and the firearms industry in this common cause.
