Insights from 60 Years in the Firearms Industry

While most modern firearms companies have strong brand recognition, little is known about the ownership or the company’s origins. That is not the case with Bill Wilson. The founder of Wilson Combat, Bill, is as well known in the industry as his guns. Over the decades, Bill has been a wealth of information to the firearms world. As a high-level competitor, gun manufacturer, and hunter, he is well-versed in all things ballistic. Now Wilson Combat has announced the release of Guns, Hunting, and Shooting: What I’ve Learned in 60 Years, a new hardcover book by company founder and industry icon Bill Wilson.
