by The National Shooting Sports Foundation released this infographic to accompany their new report on the economic impact of target shooting in the United States. I really applaud the last part of it where they encourage shooters to take new people shooting.
Cool graphic. Lots of good stuff. The tax number seems low though. IIRC, the excise tax is in the neighborhood of 10%, giving tax of around $400M. Which is consistent with http://www.ammoland.com/2010/08/firearms-ammunition-excise-tax-figures-released/#axzz2qfQSuQMg
@PhilaBOR: I think they are pulling out ammo that was used exclusively for target shooting and not the combined target shooting and hunting ammo which would have given you the larger number.
I posted a link to this on the Iowa Firearms Coalition's Facebook page.
