We originally met the team from Aero Precision back in 2019 at an event. We were impressed with the quality of their rifles and had great initial conversation with the team. At the event we were all set up shooting BB guns with the kids. In between teaching the kids safety I went by their booth and struck up a conversation. As we talked I learned more about their company. They really liked our mission and what we were trying to do to protect children. After the event I followed up with an email to their marketing team. They initially decided to send us of one of their M4E1 rifles that they added some custom touches like our cerakoted logo to the side of the receiver and a lasered logo to the top of the receiver. I remember vividly opening the box for the first time and there was a tremendous feeling of pride in the beauty this rifle. I knew that this rifle will always be used for good to help showcase safety and to tell the truth about the AR15 platform. I have now traveled all over the west coast I have taken that very rifle, it is by far my all time favorite.
As our partnership grew so did the friendships that we’ve fostered over the years with their team. I always enjoy running into them when doing industry events like Triggrcon or SHOT Show. It is always fun to catch up and to see all the new products that they have in the pike. I have had the honor of touring both their old facility and the new one that was recently completed in Lakewood WA, while it was under construction. What has always impressed me is how a company with over 600+ employees still has that small company feel. The best part of the tours is always watching the robots. The amount of technology that they use to manufacture or quality control is amazing. Technology helps Aero Precision put out a quality product that responsible gun owners can rely on. I always look forward to my visits with their team. It is a really good feeling to have their support. In 2020 they helped us with the fundraising of our Safety Van. In 2021 they became our main title sponsor and the same in 2022.
We are pleased to announce that we are honored to have the continued support from Aero Precision for 2023. They increased their contribution to our program which will help us continue our important work and even expand into their area. It is our belief that 2023 is going to be a break through year for us as an organization. We are currently planning the rest of our year and it looks to be busy. We already rolled out our Teen level rifle classes and it is our hope to roll out the Teen pistol classes very soon. We have a House Bill that is currently in the Oregon legislature, which is parked in the Education committee. HB 3118 would authorize our program in the first grade for all public schools. Upon passage this would save lives from day 1! Another highlight from our partnership with Aero for 2023 is that they are going to provide us with one of their newest Solus bolt action rifles for us to demo to the families in our Kids Firearm Safety 1 classes. Thus is exciting for us because it gives us the opportunity to showcase another of their quality American made rifles. This is probably one of the most important parts of what we do. It’s in this class, when we are safely handling many of the different action types. We get the opportunity to show everyone in class how all the different action types work and answer any questions the kids have. This is how we win. It gives us the chance to educate or redirect if necessary.
