 “We are so proud of all the Aguila Cup shooters and are humbled by the outpouring of support and camaraderie we saw this past weekend,” explains Kristi Heuring, Director of Marketing for Aguila Ammo, and Tournament Director for the Aguila Cup. “We wanted to host a family-friendly shooting event that highlighted the positive attributes and fun nature of our shooting sports. The caliber of sponsors, shooters and families that joined us in doing that is truly gratifying.”

 “For three years we’ve hosted the Copa Aguila in Mexico, and wanted to bring the same excitement to our home here in Texas,” states TxAT/Aguila Ammunition President Leon Brener. “The shooting sports are an exciting yet challenging industry to be a part of. It’s events like this that bring us all together to promote liberty and celebrate our freedoms, while inspiring new and youth shooters to join this lifetime, sovereign expression, training and responsibility. We look forward to an even bigger Aguila Cup next year.”
