Industry Spotlight
Eye On The Target Radio
“Eye On The Target Radio is a live variety show with news, listener calls, and guests. Favorite topics include self-defense for women, self-defense training, historic firearms, and current gun laws.
Hosts Rob Campbell and Amanda Suffecool are brother and sister, and their sibling rivalry is part of their signature style. Listeners love to pick sides, and join in the fun. Amanda, being the younger yet somewhat bossy part of the team, provides the energy and Rob provides the true gun geek technical. Both have a mechanical mind, and use it to share, discuss and explain why they think the way they do.
In this show format, listeners bring their questions about personal security, armed self-defense, firearms, and trending news. call or topic doesn’t go by without a playful poke at each other or a friend of the show. Bob and Amanda translate gun-geek into understandable english designed for a general audience. Call in with your question about how to start your self-defense education, about the obscure firearm you found, or bring that strange question you always wanted to ask.”

Florida Sport Shooting Association (FSSA):
This week, we’re so thrilled to highlight the Florida Sport Shooting Association or FSSA.
The FSSA was founded in 1986 as Florida’s NRA state association. They work in accordance with the purposes and objectives of the NRA.
A few of their biggest goals are:
- To create a public sentiment supporting the individual possession of firearms by law-abiding citizens.
- To encourage and promote education and training in the use of firearms for sport, for personal defense, and as a bulwark of individual liberty.
- To encourage the proper organization, operation, and administration of member clubs.
- To promote and coordinate statewide activities related to the ownership and lawful use of firearms, and to cooperate with other organizations in the conservation of wildlife resources within the State of Florida and throughout the United States.
They accomplish these goals through the planning, construction, acquisition, and preservation of civilian-owned shooting ranges of all types.
They also promote hunter safety training, hunting as a shooting sport, and conservation, as viable and necessary methods of fostering the propagation, growth, conservation and wise use of renewable wildlife and natural resources. Lastly, they promote and encourage the highest degree of sportsmanship and good fellowship among the membership of the Association.
