Board of Directors.
“More states are beginning
to recognize that today’s
advanced airgun technology
allows for ethical hunting with
airguns, and laws are changing
accordingly.
“Sig Sauer worked with game
offi cials and legislators here in
New Hampshire to amend a
bill to allow hunting of small
game with air rifl es, such as the
new Sig ASP20 break barrel air
rifl e, and Governor Sununu just
signed this bill into law. Th is is
welcome news for current airgun
enthusiasts and will help open
the door to new hunters and
shooters over time.”
