Daisy News  |  Daisy Hall of Fame  |  Daisy History  |  About the Museum

Daisy’s ultimate honor is to induct someone into the Daisy Hall of Fame. Because the Hall of Fame honors individuals who have significantly impacted Daisy’s history, the plaque hangs in the Daisy Museum for visitors to see.

Throughout Daisy’s rich history, there have been many remarkable individuals…employees, retirees, some industry friends, and shooting sports advocates…who have contributed to the company’s success, to youth shooting sports programs and to the communities in which they live.

In the summer of 2010, a Daisy Hall of Fame was created to recognize those people. Inductees have been honored at corporate milestone celebrations and at the Daisy National BB Gun Championship Match. Those who are inducted receive an individual plaque, the recognition of the company and their peers, and their names are added to the Daisy Hall of Fame plaque.

These words, on the plaque, define the qualifications of an inductee:

These outstanding individuals have made a significant contribution to the success of Daisy, its missions and its programs.

They have demonstrated leadership, modeled ethical conduct and exhibited moral character.

We value their enthusiastic involvement with our historic company  and proudly induct them into the  Daisy Hall of Fame.
