Shoot United announces the launch of its latest Straight Shooter Profile introducing Phillip Smith, Founder and President of the National African American Gun Association (NAAGA).
Phillip Smith started NAAGA in 2015 to create a community and provide a network for all African American firearm owners, gun clubs, and outdoor enthusiasts. The goal of the National African American Gun Association is to educate and train their community on the rich legacy of gun ownership of African Americans, offering education, training, support, safety standards, and cultural inspiration. In less than a decade, NAAGA has grown to 45,000 national members and more than 100 chapters across the United States.
“The community that Phillip Smith and the National African American Gun Association have created promotes education and excitement in responsible firearm ownership and training,” said Jason Gilbertson, director of marketing for Shoot United. “Through the power of community, NAAGA is sharing the positivity of shooting with people of all walks of life throughout the country. Shoot United is excited to share this story.”
The Straight Shooter video series, presented by Shoot United, explores the human element of the shooting sports. Millions of firearm owners have been positively impacted by the shooting sports and Shoot United serves as a resource to share those stories.
Phillip Smith’s story can be accessed on ShootUnited.com as well as on the Shoot United YouTube channel.
