Sioux Falls, South Dakota – Silencer Central, the nation’s leading retailer of suppressors and accessories, is proud to announce it has received the National Wild Turkey Federation 2025 Innovation Award. The award recognizes an NWTF partner that has developed exceptionally creative ways to positively impact conservation efforts.

“I am immensely proud of our company for this award,” said Brandon Maddox, Silencer Central CEO. “Conservation is something that is a vital part of our company’s core values. I challenged our team to find ways to support conservation efforts that go beyond traditional monetary donations, and it has been paying off for our partners.”

Throughout the years, Silencer Central has donated more than $1.3 million to NWTF’s conservation efforts. Silencer Central’s primary contributions include product donations made to local and national NWTF-sponsored events. The suppressor donations are often used as raffle and auction prizes, helping to build excitement for the events and generating greater proceeds for the organization than a simple cash donation might.

The Innovation Award was presented to Maddox at the annual Awards Gala on February 14, 2025, as part of the 2025 NWFT 49th Annual Convention and Sport Show, that ran Feb. 12-16, at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville, TN.
