Lindsey says, “The NSSF Shot Show was an amazing experience. I really enjoy being able to speak about my 4-H experiences with many different companies. The people at Savage Arms, Canal Street Cutlery, and Ithaca Gun Company took a lot of time to talk and show us their products. I even received a hat from Ithaca after thanking them for how well their guns work for my family.”
