This month we're featuring four long-time sponsors of Shoot For A Cure: Browning, Briley, Hi-Viz, and Big Red Oak. Read on about their ongoing support of our mission and the incredible work they each do in our industry.

Browning Firearms is our Founding Sponsor and is an integral part of our success. Browning was started in 1878 by John Moses Browning at his father's store in Ogden, Utah. Today, 130 years later, Browning has grown to be the leader in sporting arms, technical hunting clothing and many other outdoor-related product categories, all helping to make your hunting and shooting experience a success. As our longest standing Corporate Sponsor, we are proud to have ALL of the different models of Browning shotguns on the trailer for folks to try out at any of our events, as well as a Browning Citori 725 Golden Clays in our BIG Yearly Raffle as well as Browning Shooter apparel in our event raffles.


Special thanks to Shaundi for all of your support!

Briley is legendary in competition and recreational shooting. They’re world–famous for their chokes and tube sets, but they do even more. Their gun services, accessories and products for all of the major shotgun manufacturers are also setting high standards in the industry. As a longtime sponsor of Shoot For A Cure, Briley has provided their top quality choke tubes for all of the guns on our shoot trailer and has provided us with a $150 gift card for each of our event raffles.

Many thanks to Hannah, your support means the world to us!

Hi-Viz Shooting Systems serves the firearms and shooting industry by providing their customers with the products that can help them become a better shooter. They use cutting-edge technology and the highest quality materials in every product. Their sights have brighter LitePipes, better construction and last longer.

Big Red Oak Plantation is located in Gay, Georgia and is a premier destination for hunting and sporting clays. Being family owned for seven generations, the property has increased in size from 250 acres originally to 2500 acres. Big Red Oak Plantation is a paradise for shooting sports, with quail and deer hunting, sporting clays, dog training, and a variety of lodging options on site. It’s definitely worth a trip and it is the GA home of our annual Southeast shoot. This year, BRO is offering a wings and clays package in our yearly raffle for a great Southern style shooting vacation!

From there, manufacturing facilities popped up across Europe and then made their way to the US, where they eventually brought operations permanently in 2003.

This year, SFAC gave away the Barnett TS380 at our event raffles coast to coast and we featured the Hypertac Pro 430 in our big yearly raffle!!! Special thanks to Joe and Jimmy...
