About Sportsman’s Insurance Agency

Sportsman’s Insurance Agency was founded in 1991 to focus on insurance coverage for gun clubs, gun owners, and other businesses in the firearms industry. It was founded by Hollis Boss as a successor agency to his previous, three decade old Hollis Boss Agency that provided a full spectrum of business related insurance services. In addition to his more than 40 years of providing insurance services for firearms related businesses, Hollis is a past president of the National Skeet Shooting Association and a past Chairman of the U. S. Shooting Team Foundation.

In addition to Hollis Boss, Sportsman’s is staffed by experienced, knowledgeable insurance professionals who cater to the insurance needs of the shooting industry.
