Winchester has launched a new digital platform on Winchester.com built specifically for first-time ammunition and firearms buyers, along with those folks who are just beginning in the shooting sports and hunting.
Team Winchester pro shooters such as Becky Yackley will appear in videos for new gun owners.

As an industry leader, we are committed to helping educate people about the many topics surrounding firearms, ammunition, safety and more. More and more people want to participate in the shooting sports and hunting. Our audience is diverse and growing, and this platform will be an excellent resource.”
