Savage Arms Supports Aiming for Zero Great Nor’easter

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – October 20, 2020 – Savage Arms was proud to be a part of the Aiming for Zero Great Nor’easter shooting competition. More than 200 competitors came out to help prevent veteran suicide and support the local veteran community. Despite COVID-19 restrictions and challenges, participation grew from last year and more than $25,000 was raised.  

“We were happy to play a small part in a great event for our veterans,” said Beth Shimanski, Director of Marketing at Savage Arms. “Seeing the community come together for such an important cause means a lot to our team and we hope everyone’s combined efforts can make a difference.”

Aiming for Zero provides the national competitive shooting community a channel through which to focus their efforts to support ending veteran suicide. Individuals, groups and clubs hosted side stages, full matches and other creative methods at their local ranges. Active Heroes is a 501c3 charity that hosts these events and works with these ranges to target veterans who are struggling and pair them with trained peer mentors. 

It has proven to be very successful in supporting veterans within the community. Active Heroes has partnered with ranges that hosted over 1000 veterans, military family members and supporters. The ultimate purpose of Aiming for Zero is to reduce veteran suicide and assist Military Families by:

1. Targeting struggling veterans within the competitive shooting community.

2. Establishing camaraderie to cope with Post Traumatic Stress (anger, depression, loneliness, substance abuse and suicidal tendencies).

3. Uniting veterans, families and supporters to care for each other in times of need.

4. Training shooting clubs and ranges how to interact with suicidal veterans and the steps to assist them.

Savage Arms Celebrates Hunters’ Journeys with New Campaign

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – October 7, 2020 – Savage Arms is proud to announce a new multimedia project: Savage Journeys. Savage knows what it takes to put rounds on target, a skill that’s crucial to successful hunting. Now the team is joining hunters across the country to chronicle the unexpected twists that can make hunting feel like such a Savage Journey. 

“Savage makes the best possible tools for American hunters,” said Beth Shimanski, Director of Marketing at Savage Arms. “From the button-rifled barrels on our Axis rifles, to the proven lethality of Renegauge, Savage has proven itself in the field. And now we’re out to capture more—the faces and places of American hunting—and we’re bringing it to you in Savage Journeys.”

Every sportsman, even those with years of backcountry success, tackles unexpected challenges while hunting. This is what makes a lifetime of hunting such an incredible journey. Savage is proud to celebrate those who never quit and allow their boots to carry them over the next ridge. Follow Savage as we capture the experiences of new and experienced hunters as they embrace the unknown and face the unforeseen challenges inherent on their hunts.

Over the course of the next year, Savage will be documenting several hunters as they pursue wild game across a wide swath of the American landscape. These unscripted hunts will showcase the hunting highlights, but they’ll also capture the hard work and determination needed to make it into, and out of, the woods. 

From the field-to-fork pursuit of Kansas Whitetail and Wyoming antelope, to the predator calls of the Arizona desert, Savage is there.  From the precision needed for dispatching rabbits to the magnum power preferred by bear hunters, Savage rifles do their part. But that’s not half of the hunt.  Follow Savage Journeys to see the rest.
