Krieghoff Shotguns to be Donated to Support Athletes & Help Raise The Flag
USA Shooting is excited to announce the return of Krieghoff International back to its powerful lineup of sponsors as the organization continues a resurgence of sponsor support in build-up to the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
As part of the partnership, Krieghoff has engaged in a multi-year contract with product donations for the RAISE THE FLAG campaign to help raise money for America’s Shooting Team and ensure the American flag is raised in competition around the globe in all three Olympic and Paralympic shooting disciplines. Details about how to enter the Krieghoff “Raise The Flag” Sweepstakes will be released separately.
“Our athletes relish the commitment to service, innovation and improvement synonymous with the Krieghoff brand,” said USA Shooting CEO Keith Enlow. “Fans of Krieghoff and the USA Shooting Team will now have multiple chances to own a unique firearm that demonstrates the strong tradition and quality gun making Krieghoff is known for. The dedication to the athletes who choose Krieghoff is well-known and we’re happy to help foster that even more in the years to come.”
“We are excited to be part of the new USA Shooting and its vision for 2020 and beyond. We always believed that the best team is created by a very competitive environment with a ‘no compromise’ approach in focusing on the athletes. USA Shooting’s vision and staff shows commitment to fulfill this mission and we are happy to be along for the ride,” said Alex Diehl, COO of Krieghoff International, Inc.
