Sioux Falls, South Dakota – Silencer Central, the nation’s leader in suppressor sales, is proud to announce that its founder and CEO, Brandon Maddox, has been appointed to serve on the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s (NSSF) Board of Governors. This advisory board is made up of business leaders from across the firearms and outdoor recreation industry and serves to support the NSSF in its mission to promote, protect, and preserve our nation’s sporting heritage and freedoms.

“I am deeply honored to accept the appointment to the NSSF Board of Governors,” said Maddox. “The NSSF plays a pivotal role in defending our 2nd Amendment rights and supporting companies within the firearms industry. As someone who has led from the front and actively worked to improve the buying process and regulatory landscape for suppressors, I can attest to what a great resource, and partner, NSSF can be for entrepreneurs like myself. That’s why I see this appointment as an opportunity, and responsibility, to continue working for the good of firearm and suppressor owners, and to protect and expand our nation's shooting and hunting heritage.”

A proven Second Amendment advocate and lifelong hunter, Maddox also founded the South Dakota Firearms Industry Association. Having testified before state legislatures on firearm policy and championed reforms that protect shooting sports and expand access for responsible firearm owners, Maddox brings to the Board of Governors a record of business leadership, regulatory expertise, and staunch advocacy.

“Brandon brings deep knowledge of the regulatory landscape and a passion for protecting the rights of sportsmen and women,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “His entrepreneurial leadership and commitment to our industry’s growth will be valuable assets to the Board of Governors.”

Formed in 1961, the NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect, and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. For more information, visit nssf.org.
