Good Evening:
Thank you for the email. I am sorry for any confusion in this mailing. First we did do a mailing to our list of guests. This was done with a secure mailer and no permanent outside record exists. I am sorry for the duplicate letters as that was not supposed to happen. Our list is private and will not be sold or rented in anyway. The purpose of the letter was to introduce those to another part of the shooting culture in a fun and inviting way. We should have explained this secure path better in that letter and for that lapse in judgment I am sorry.
The shooting sports have been part of a legitimate phenomenon over the last year. The vast majority of buyers were brand new to the sport, having never owned a gun before. The election was the tipping point no doubt. My thought in this reception was to get these folks to look beyond the initial purchase and see another part that they could get enjoyment out of. It is the first of several introductions we have in mind. If we (the shooting public) can capture them our collective future will be secure for years to come. I would ask that you first accept my apology and second to help us in this endeavor by spreading the word that the shooters are excited to have these folks join us.
Finally, thank you for your support and passion about the shooting sports, it was never our intention to upset anyone, just to get the word out to as many as possible.
Respectfully,
