Mr. Bruce will also infuse a revitalized energy to the brand and products with an updated logo, website, apparel and headwear.

A three-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger Award winner, Bruce is not only an accomplished baseball player, but also an experienced outdoorsman with a passion for waterfowl hunting.

“Sure-Shot has been part of the fabric of the hunting community of Southeast Texas for more than 60 years, and I’m really excited to become part of the brand’s legacy,” said Bruce. “My main focus is to maintain the elite craftsmanship of our products while introducing the brand to the next generation of hunters.”
