The Award will be accepted on Friday, April 28, during the 2017 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Atlanta, Georgia.

Highly prestigious within the shooting industry, the Golden Bullseye Awards honor the finest products available in the shooting sports. Winners are chosen by a committee of NRA Publication editors and staff with more than a century of collective experience in the firearms industry.
