Remington Employees Take a Step Outside





Remington Arms Co. employees and their families and friends came out in force Aug. 27 for Remington's fourth annual STEP OUTSIDE Start at Home event at Ilion Fish and Game Club near the company's Ilion, N.Y., firearms plant. A record 500 people -- young and old -- attended, many of whom said it was their first time shooting. "The STEP OUTSIDE event is a highlight for our employees each year," said Joe Gross, plant manager for Remington's Ilion facility. "In fact, our STEP OUTSIDE event is even more popular than our company picnics." This year's event included instruction in firearm safety, opportunities to shoot shotguns and rifles and the opportunity to watch a cowboy action shooting demonstration that included contestants in full costume shooting revolvers, lever action rifles and shotguns. "We’ve got many volunteers working on the event," said John Balio, planning manager and the event's coordinator. "The hard part is setting the date. Once it's set, the work begins, but that's also when the fun begins." STEP OUTSIDE, a program of NSSF, has helped introduce hundreds of thousands of newcomers to traditional outdoor activities like shooting.
