Manufacturers Show Support for Scholastic Program





Across the firearms industry, manufacturers this year again demonstrated their unwavering support of NSSF's rapidly growing Scholastic Clay Target Program, which saw a nearly 40 percent increase in participation this spring and summer. At the SCTP nationals Aug. 8-9 in Sparta, Ill., Beretta sponsored a pizza party for the event's 1,600-plus young shooters and their families along with an exhibition with 17-time All American shooter Scott Robertson; White Flyer donated all of the event's clay targets; Browning gave away a BT-99 shotgun to a lucky SCTP participant, 14-year-old Shelby Shirley of Galion, Ohio (who came to the event with a borrowed gun); Remington donated an 1100 youth model shotgun; Winchester provided winning teams with flats of ammunition; and Federal Cartridge Co. provided a special offer on ammo to all teams participating in SCTP throughout the year. "It just makes a lot of sense to be here as an organization and a company because these are our future customers," said Scott Grange, Browning's public relations and shooting promotions director. "They are the future of the sport, and, to not be here, would be doing an injustice not only to them, but the industry as a whole." SCTP added more than 2,000 new youth trap, skeet and sporting clays shooters this year, and now includes more than 8,300 in 41 states.
