It’s that time of the year! Shooters are emerging from their winter hideaways (gun rooms, basements, garages, etc.) and hitting the ranges hard. The thousands of new shooters who have joined our ranks recently have spurred a tremendous amount of renewed activity at ranges all over the country, too.

Many of these first-time firearm owners, along with thousands of veteran firearm enthusiasts, joined us and other suppliers/manufacturers a couple weeks ago at the 141st NRA Annual Meetings in St. Louis. We had a great time in St. Louis, and as always, the hospitality was fantastic. The Sinclair staff was honored to meet many of our existing customers – and also some future customers.

We’ve just released the electronic edition of our #2012-A Catalog. For those of you who use the Web but want the traditional experience of looking at items as they appear in print a catalog, this is the format for you. It also helps us reach other customers, such as members of our military serving overseas, who have trouble receiving a printed catalog but can get Internet access occasionally. And it’s a great way for our international customers to see the new catalog as soon as it comes out rather than wait for it to make the long journey through the mail. For everybody, the big benefit is that you can browse through the catalog pages and click on items to go directly to the product on the website. You can access the Sinclair Electronic Catalog by clicking here or by going to Sinclairintl.com and clicking on the banner.

Reloading is going through quite a growth period right now, and demand for reloading tools and components is strong. More and more shooters are finding out that the rewards of reloading go beyond just saving a few bucks over store-bought ammo. Tuning your handloads for your specific firearm and application – plus the freedom to control your own inventory – are just two of the additional rewards. Plus, the personal satisfaction of being able to build your own ammo never gets old for me!

Hope to see you at the range!

Good Shooting,

Bill Gravatt
