Ankeny, IA - The National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW), the association representing shooting sports wholesalers, manufacturers and their trade partners, and the creator of the industry leading SCOPE Data Platform, has released the first Annual SCOPE Report compiling distributor sales and inventory data from throughout 2021, at no cost.

“NASGW has been compiling data for the last few years and reporting is something we’ve wanted to provide for a long time,” said Kenyon Gleason, NASGW President. “With the addition of some key new team members, we are excited to provide a standard to measure trends in our industry.”

This 2021 SCOPE Report is also available with regional breakdowns for a more granular analysis. In the future the National report will be available for purchase on a quarterly and annual basis from NASGW. Data compiled from this report is sourced directly from SCOPE DLX (distributor sales & inventory). Look for quarterly and annual reporting from SCOPE CLX (retailer sales) in the future as well, as NASGW continues to bring on more POS partners and retail stores.

“We’ve got big things happening with SCOPE right now,” said Easton Kuboushek, Director of Data Programs at NASGW. “We are currently adding some significant partners, expanding our reach, growing our users, and delivering on the vision we laid out years ago to be the standard for data in the shooting sports industry. This first report is just the beginning of what we plan to provide on a consistent basis.”

NASGW is proud to lead the way in this distributor lead industry initiative to provide better data for improved decision making throughout the shooting sports industry. To download a free copy of the 2021 SCOPE Annual Report, visit https://nasgwscope.org/resources/the-scope-report.
