“The Kim Rhode list of accolades and achievements in the shooting sports is unprecedented,” Matt Campbell, vice president of sales and marketing for Winchester Ammunition, said in a news release. “This recognition certainly captures her achievements in the shooting sports, but more importantly, she is a tremendous ambassador for the shooting sports and hunting industry. Winchester is honored to be aligned with such a legendary athlete and person.”
