Headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Silencer Central has made a substantial impact to conservation and the preservation of our hunting heritage by donating suppressors to NWTF banquets nationwide.

“The partnership between Silencer Central and the NWTF has been rapidly growing over the past several years and continues to make a meaningful impact,” said Tom Glines, NWTF director of annual giving in the Midwest north. “The funds raised from the sale of suppressors are matched by outside dollars, benefiting habitat enhancement projects and our hunting heritage.”

Silencer Central’s donations, used in both live and silent auctions at NWTF banquets nationwide, directly contribute to the NWTF’s Super Fund, which is utilized to enhance wildlife habitat and promote hunting through the NWTF’s Education and Outreach events. The partnership has become a cornerstone for conservation fundraising efforts, making NWTF fundraising events across the country more profitable and thus raising more money for the NWTF’s mission.

"At Silencer Central, we're proud to support the National Wild Turkey Federation and their vital conservation efforts," said Brandon Maddox, CEO of Silencer Central. "100% of the funds raised from our silencer donation program go directly to their mission. It's an honor to support NWTF's mission of preserving the country's hunting heritage and turkey conservation through this partnership."

This achievement comes on the heels of Silencer Central’s recognition by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The company was ranked 2nd among businesses in South Dakota and 2nd in Sioux Falls on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list, cementing Silencer Central’s position as a dynamic leader in the firearm industry.
