Last summer, Weatherby's "Women of Weatherby" initiative launched a "Name Your Rifle" program, offering consumers the opportunity to vote on the name of an otherwise mysterious new firearm. We got more details at SHOT Show 2016 when the company announced its new Camilla Vanguard, a rifle designed for women, by women.
Weatherby, Inc. has announced the launch of its new "Women of Weatherby" Name Your Rifle sweepstakes. The company is looking for a name for its new rifle—which will be offered in limited calibers, and will be the industry's first rifle designed for women, by women—and it's turning to consumers for a little help.
Roy Weatherby built the company that bears his name on the premise that speed trumps weight when it comes to harvesting game quickly and humanely. His company's 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum is the embodiment of that premise.
Adam Weatherby has officially been named president of Weatherby, Inc., therein continuing the family's long running leadership over the company that family patriarch Roy founded in 1945.
Founded in a family garage as the country was recovering from World War II, Weatherby is the epitome of the American success story. One idea and an unfaltering work ethic helped Roy Weatherby turn a hobby shop into an internationally recognized brand. Decades later, Roy's descendants have followed in his footsteps, writing their own stories while furthering the stout Weatherby tradition.
