About Kari Hinther

I have extensive knowledge of the hunting, firearms, and outdoor industry. I am an avid rifle, pistol, trap and sporting clay shooter, as well as a hunting enthusiast. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to attend and participate in numerous firearms related events and shows. Participation in these events have allowed me to interact with the shooting community and learn to effectively communicate, while educating them on various shooting related products and services.Firearm Product Management and Marketing is my passion. Full market immersion is how I learn what the customer’s needs are, what the competitors are doing, and seeing where my products strengths and weaknesses are. I discovered my passion and love for Product Management after a promotion in April of 2014. I was already a part of this amazing industry in the Marketing and Event fields. It wasn’t until I discovered how my work with the consumers and conducting market analysis to influence the direction of a product or marketing campaign that I realized what I was truly meant to do. I am very well versed on all firearms manufactures products, their benefits and features, as well as where they fall short. I can talk the talk and walk the walk all while presenting a positive company image and creating lifelong customers.
