Tate Bolick - July 9, 2007
This week I accompanied two American Business Development Group (ABDG) lobbyists to a firing range in Fredericksburg, VA. FNH, the parent company of arms manufacturers, such as Browning and Winchester, hosted the demonstration for congressional staffers. FNH is a client of ABDG’s, and it was ABDG’s duty to bring staffers to the shoot in order to educate them on FNH’s products as they pertain to the Department of Defense market place.
In the morning, representatives from FNH conducted a classroom session where we learned about various FNH products that are currently or potentially being used by the Department of Defense. After lunch, the FNH representatives brought us to an on-site shooting range where we shot the SCAR Light, SCAR Heavy, P .90, FN 303 (less lethal), and M .240. The gun shoot was quite a memorable experience because it was the first time I had shot a fully automatic weapon.
