NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is pleased to announce that industry executive Thomas DeBolt and firearm business owner Jacquelyn Clark have been elected to the NSSF Board of Governors.

DeBolt is the CEO of Benelli USA and President of Stoeger Industries. Clark is the Founder and Co-owner of Bristlecone Shooting, Training & Retail Center in Lakewood, Colorado.

“I’m proud to join this dedicated group of firearm industry leaders and look forward to working with them to help make NSSF even more influential in promoting and protecting our industry’s interests,” said DeBolt.

Said Clark, “I’m excited to fill the firearm retailer seat on the Board of Governors and to lend my expertise and perspective to their important work.”

In his role as CEO, DeBolt oversees U.S. operations for all of Benelli USA’s business. He has been instrumental in driving the company’s success since joining in August, 2013. DeBolt brings extensive leadership experience along with a proven track record of strategic planning, cultural development and operational excellence, as well as his passion for hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation.

Clark and her husband, Bryan, opened the Bristlecone shooting and training facility in 2015 after their research showed that target-shooting enthusiasts in the Denver area were underserved. Bristlecone was awarded NSSF’s highest rating of Five Stars in 2017 and was voted Best Indoor Shooting Range in Denver by Westword in 2021. In addition to her business experience within and outside the firearm industry, Clark is a Certified Defensive Firearms Coach.

“NSSF welcomes Jacquelyn and Tom to the NSSF Board of Governors,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “We are fortunate to have their support and to be able to draw on their extensive experience in the firearm industry.”

DeBolt and Clark’s terms on the NSSF Board of Governors began following their election during last month’s SHOT Show®, the NSSF-owned firearm industry trade show.
