Scholastic Steel Challenge

SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. —-(AmmoLand.com)- The Scholastic Steel Challenge (SSC) has picked up another prominent industry partner who will be supporting the program though an exclusive product discount for SSC shooters. Precision Delta Corporation has announced it will provide SSC teams with a 20% discount on new or reloaded 9mm ammunition.

“We are proud to be an SSC industry partner,” said Joe Tranum, president of Precision Delta. “Since our founding in 1982, we have grown to become one of the largest manufacturers of remanufactured pistol ammunition and we recognize how important it is for companies like ours to give back to the shooting sports. That’s why we are thrilled to provide SSC teams with a 20% discount on the ammunition they’ll need, not just to train and compete, but to win.”

The Scholastic Steel Challenge is a national team-oriented youth shooting program developed by the Steel Challenge Shooting Association (SCSA) and funded in part by a grant from the National Shooting Sports Foundation. The program is open to young men and women ages 12 to 20 and offers them the opportunity to compete as a four person team for a national title in the action pistol discipline of speed shooting.

Already the program has received support from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, Smith & Wesson, the Outdoor Wire Digital Network, Glock, Action Target and EOTAC which have committed over $150,000 in funding and product.

“I appreciate Precision Delta coming on board with SSC in these trying times for ammo buyers” said Scott Moore, director for the Scholastic Steel Challenge. “Giving teams ready access to high-quality ammunition at a special discounted price will be a big boost to the SSC program and help insure the growth of the sport of Speed Shooting.”

School Shooting Teams Get More Bucks For The Bang
Competitive Shooting Teams Thrive After Receiving Financial Support from Public Foundation

Scholastic Shooting Trust

Columbia, MO - -(AmmoLand.com)- Twenty-six competitive shooting teams in high schools, colleges and universities will be able to practice a lot more this year after the MidwayUSA Foundation, Inc.’s Scholastic
Shooting Trust Fund approved new grants for the 2009-10 school year.

Recipients range from high school FFA teams to teams at major public universities.

The benefits of alumni and community support through Scholastic Shooting Trust Fund are telling: after receiving a grant of over $12,000 last year, the University of Missouri-Columbia team placed second at the national ACUI Clay Target Championship.

Larry Potterfield, president of the Foundation said, “Competitive shooting teams provide wonderful opportunities for students to make friends, to develop confidence, and learn discipline and leadership skills. However, most schools provide little or no funding for shooting teams, so it’s up to us to help.”

Teams will be receiving notification of grant eligibility in the next few weeks so they can prepare their requests, then it’s off to the practice range.

About:

Alumni, families of team members and community members fund the grants through donations to the Scholastic Shooting Trust so youths have a better opportunity to compete in the shooting sports. Larry and Brenda Potterfield created the MidwayUSA Foundation, Inc. in 2007 to support education in shooting sports, hunting, firearms safety and outdoor skills. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization and donations are tax deductible to the extent of state and federal laws.
