Greetings!
I've always been the type to set goals; both personal and professional. Every time that I reach a goal, I reassess and then set the bar higher or farther or occasionally, back. This year, Laura Burgess Marketing has achieved a goal I am very proud of. We will be celebrating our ten year anniversary. It's hard to believe that a decade ago I left SIGARMS without any idea of what was to come next. Due to the championing and encouragement of several executives within this industry and my family, my new goal came naturally. We started Laura Burgess Marketing on August 25, 2003.
Now, ten years later, our company has grown from a one-person operation to include our family. Starting off as a resource for companies to get PR out, we have grown to include writer relations, advertising strategy and scheduling, marketing strategy, and one area I am very proud of - emerging media.
We are very proud of our ten years and have enjoyed the opportunity to meet and work with so many within our industry.

American Gunsmithing Institute Sets Goal of Educating 1,000 New Gunsmiths for 2013
| |
Despite our country's difficult economic times and high unemployment rates nationally, the firearms industry has continued to grow and has created over 37,130 new jobs over the past two years. The firearms industry as a whole has created 220,130 jobs as of 2012. Additionally, due to the current politically unstable climate, 2012 proved to be a record setting year for gun sales. With more jobs opening up in the firearms industry and more firearms becoming available in the market that will need to be serviced, the American Gunsmithing Institute (AGI), producers of the most authoritative instructional Gunsmithing DVD courses, and also the Nation's Premier Gunsmithing School, is seeing the demand for more educated gunsmiths in the workplace. Due to this, AGI has announced a new goal of creating 1,000 new gunsmiths in 2013 through their gunsmithing DVD courses.

The Benefits of the KRISS Vector
|
The KRISS Vector is the only weapon operating system in the world that actually helps the operator put more rounds on-target, more of the time.
Traditional weapons operating systems actually work against the operator; these systems create recoil and barrel elevation forces that require the operator to constantly recapture his sight picture.
Instead, by re-vectoring these forces, the patented Vector system works with the shooter by helping keep the muzzle exactly where the operator points it. No recapturing or reacquiring of sight picture is needed.
