Default SHOUT OUT TO ART WHEATON

I’d like to give a huge shout out to PGCA’s Art Wheaton. Art was inducted into the NSSF Hall of Fame for his contributions to the firearm industry. Congrats Art, your lifetime of dedication has been duly noted! Thank you for all you have done.

Art is our Friend and he’s truly a Gentlemen’s Gentleman. I’m very proud to know him and call him Friend.

My Dad met Art back in the late 60's early 70's. Art must have started at Remington as a young pup. Keep on Keepin' on, Art

I worked with Art many years at Remington until he retired. He had great vision for the real things in the industry that mattered. Business mattered, but there was more to the hunting/shooting life than that. Well deserved my friend.
