“FMG Publications has long been a supporter of the shooting sports and for many just getting into the shooting sports it was in the pages of American Handgunner or GUNS Magazine that they first learned about competitions like IDPA’s,” said Joyce Wilson, executive director for IDPA.
“We are so very pleased to announce that FMG Publications is continuing its partnership with the Smith & Wesson Indoor Nationals and IDPA.”

“We’ve been supporting the shooting sports since 1955 and we’re thrilled to have had the opportunity to sponsor this match the last four years. We’ll do whatever it takes to give our sponsored shooter, Scott McGregor the edge. So far it hasn’t made a difference. We may have to throw in a few subscriptions this year.
