Twenty million target shooters spend about $10 billion a year--nearly
the same amount of spending that occurs at the Apple App Store! Those
target-shooting expenditures support more than 185,000 jobs and
businesses from coast to coast. The numbers, compiled into this useful
infographic, come from NSSF's new report, "Target Shooting in America:
Millions of Shooters, Billions of Dollars." Combined spending by both
target shooters and hunters results in an overall economic boost to the
nation of more than $110 billion! That's yet another contribution by
sportsmen and women to America, along with supporting conservation and
our great sporting heritage.
The jobs alone is more than
the quarterly job growth of Obama's recovery. Every quarter it has been
well less than this 185,000 so we do not need these jobs..!!!!
