"We're thrilled with the high level of interest by station managers in NSSF's Insights radio show," said Dave Miles, NSSF's director of electronic media. It's really a win-win for them, and we're glad they're immediately seeing this. The stations receive high-quality content, and the shooting sports receive additional exposure that we hope will encourage sportsmen, lapsed participants and newcomers to fully enjoy these activities.
