The NSSF, National Shooting Sports Foundation, has created programs that not only encourage safe firearm ownership, but also encourage mentorship for introducing new people to shooting sports. The PlusONE program does just that! As you know, we have always been advocates for taking someone new shooting, or taking that recreational shooter to a tournament. Now, the Dead Pair Podcast has partnered with the NSSF’s PlusONE program to help incentivize those mentors, and reward them for taking new people out to bust some clays! Listen in as we are joined by Justin Morrissey, Director of social media with the NSSF, and RAD Chad Roberts as we cover all the bases and bring you the 411 on this great program!
