I started this company because I knew I could meet those expectations at a cost that I believed should be possible,\u201d Himler explains, \u201cWe don\u2019t sell anything that I wouldn\u2019t shoot myself!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Elite Reloading Supplies joins ACADEMI, Alien Gear Holsters, Gun World Magazine, Handguns Magazine, Harris Publications, the National Shooting Sports Foundation, Self Defense Association, Smith &amp; Wesson, Target Is Moving, Trijicon and Wilson Combat as a corporate sponsor of IDPA providing major financial support for the organization.<\/p>\n<p>Each year IDPA members in the United States spend upwards of $30 million annually on shooting equipment for the sport with the average amount (of estimated 2013 expenditures) totaling $1,580.83.
