Final Day at Shooting Industry Masters

The final day for Team LB Marketing was a long one! The weather was beautiful, the Hartford Gun Club staff was fabulous, and we started the day with rifle. We started on Stage 2 .223 Steel Flash in which we each shot 2 strings of ten rounds at 5 steel reactive targets with varying sizes at 200 yards on a bench rest. This was my best stage with a perfect score. Sniper school watch out - here I come! Then, we were off to Rockin' Rimfires with .22 Rimfire rifles supplied by Ruger and Smith & Wesson. I shot the S&W and it was SWEET! The guys did great at this stage. Then it was off to the shotgun course in which we had 10 stations of 10 shots each. This was my worst station and the misery lasted the longest, of course! But, everyone improved as the day progressed and once we had a little instruction, we actually broke some birds.

Hot and tired, we were one of the last teams back to the hotel for a cold beer and shower. That night the team awards were presented. BLACKHAWK! took 3rd place overall and Chuck Buis of BLACKHAWK! happily accepted the award. Todd Jarrett, BLACKHAWK!'s pro shooter took 2nd place for individual!

Team LB Marketing wants to thank Roy and Suzi Huntington of FMG Publications (pictured with Chuck Buis on the left and Todd Jarrett on the far right) for inviting us and putting on such a splendid gig. Thank you to all the sponsors too. This event benefits the National Shooting Sports Foundation's Step Outside program.

Welcoming an old friend - Sentry Solutions

When you are in the business of servicing other companies, it pays to always keep your door open. One of the hardest things in my business of PR is when a client must end their contract. They feel awkward, I used to feel awkward, but today's economy is making many businesses re-evaluate their marketing needs. Some businesses - slash and burn. Some re-invest. And some come back to the roost. Take for example this little company, Sentry Solutions. When I began my company, the President, Mark Mrozek, asked me in on a couple of projects he had going. I thought we were a perfect fit - two little companies in New Hampshire working in the same markets for the military and shooting sports. But, alas, he had another marketing professional in his pocket so our relationship was limited. But here, years later, Mark calls and the next thing I know - Sentry Solutions is our new client. These are great products too, and I'm not just saying that. Whether you are a gun owner, a fisherman (or woman!) or just want to keep your tools from rusting away in your damp basement (oh! that's my basement!) Sentry Solution products are truly the best in their league. So, welcome again, Mark - let's get down to some good PR!
