SIG SAUER® Steps Up to Sponsor IHEA-USA and Offers Discounts to Hunter Educators

Lolo, MT—The IHEA-USA is excited to announce a new partnership with SIG SAUER that will benefit Hunter Education Instructors in numerous ways.

The IHEA-USA recently met to finalize their multi-year strategic plan, which clearly outlines their commitment to serving and retaining the vital volunteers of our industry and the state agency teams that coordinate public education for hunting and the shooting sports. SIG SAUER has agreed to partner in this mission delivery. As part of this partnership SIG SAUER will offer instructor and guide discounts on select products, and IHEA-USA will participate in SIG SAUER hosted events. Additionally, SIG SAUER will support the new IHEA-USA Firearm Fundamentals Course scheduled to launch later this year which is designed to give new firearms owners thorough training on firearm safety from the International Hunter Education Association-USA, the authority on firearm safety in the field.

Alex Baer, Executive Director of the IHEA-USA, stated, “SIG’s generosity allows us to give even more back to our valuable volunteer Hunter Education Instructor Corps. We are so excited to offer the tens of thousands of volunteer instructors discounts on a variety of SIG products and experiences through giveaways and contests. Thank you for your generosity, SIG, and for supporting Hunter Education and our safe gun handling efforts.”

“This is an exciting new partnership for SIG SAUER as we begin to further expand our presence in the hunting community for 2022. We first want to express our appreciation to all volunteer Hunter Educators for everything that they do for the firearms and hunting community,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “Partnering with IHEA-USA to provide them with an exclusive SIG SAUER program to get products like the CROSS Rifle and our full-line of riflescopes, rangefinders and binoculars is an honor. Additionally, this new affiliation with the IHEA-USA allows us to expand our efforts in education with regards to gun safety through their new Firearms Fundamentals program.”

SIG SAUER’S support also allows the IHEA-USA to continue to market and create curriculum and content for state fish and wildlife agencies to execute programs that teach safe gun handling, including their Hunter Education and Firearms Fundamentals Courses.
