Nineteen

coaches earned their NRA coaching credentials during the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) Level 1 Coaches Class hosted by the Daniel Boone Conservation League in Wisconsin on February 6-7, 2016. The Shooting Coach Program is a cooperative effort of the NRA, USA Shooting, and the Civilian Marksmanship Program. The NRA Level 1 Pistol Coaches Class now includes action shooting as one of the disciplines. The Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP) is the model for action shooting. The additional c

oaches were needed to address the huge growth several of the Wisconsin teams have experienced since last year. One team actually has grown from 15 last year to 50 this year and that growth was seen even before the new rifle program was announced. Congratulations new coaches and good luck on a successful season with your athletes. The next pistol coaches’ class on the schedule is in Plymouth, Michigan, April 2 & 3, 2016. Are you looking to host a coaches’ class in your area? Contact SASP Director of Development Rick Leach at rleach@sssfonline.com.

Congratulations to Tim Adams, winner of last week's Range Time quiz drawing! Tim correctly answered the quiz question and was drawn as the winner of a Hot and Cold Pack with SCTP logo. Last week's question and possible answers:

The first inanimate targets used for shotgun shooting games were made of what material?

Dirt
Clay
Paper
Glass
Wood

The correct answer is Glass. It seemed very obvious to many of you that the answer was Clay, but the currently-used material came along much later. Previously, glass balls were used. If you're ever at SSSF headquarters at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio, Texas, stop by the NSSA-NSCA Museum and Hall of Fame, where you can see displays of beautiful and colorful glass balls.

Range Time Quiz: Dress Code

Written by SSSF Staff on August 21, 2014. Posted in Range Time Quiz, Uncategorized.

Congratulations to Mark Brown, winner of last week’s Range Time quiz drawing! Mark answered our question correctly and was drawn as the winner of a National Championship t-shirt from the Great Outdoors Company. Last week’s question and possible answers:

Which of the following items of clothing IS allowed in competition, according to the SCTP-SPP dress codes?

Tank top
Shorts 5 inches above the knees
T-shirt with beer brand logo
Cut-off t-shirt
Low-riding shorts
Sleeveless shirt

The correct answer is Shorts 5 inches above the knees. SCTP and SPP dress codes were established both to ensure that participants are presenting a positive image and for safety. Remember, when you are shooting (or coaching or serving in another volunteer capacity) you are representing yourself, your family, your team, your sponsoring organization, and the entire SCTP-SPP organization. Dressing appropriately goes a long way toward creating a positive impression with others. Among the prohibited items of clothing are tank tops, short shorts (more than 6 inches above the knee), cut-off t-shirts, low-riding shorts, sleeveless shirts, sandals, halter tops, pants revealing undergarments or buttocks, or any type of clothing adorned with references to alcohol, tobacco, sexual connotations, drugs, gambling, or profanity.

<em>Range Time</em> Quiz: <br>Muzzle Brake

Written by SSSF Staff on July 10, 2014. Posted in Range Time Quiz, Uncategorized.

Congratulations to Tracy Miller, winner of last week's Range Time quiz drawing! Tracy answered our question correctly and was drawn as the winner of an SPP Tactical Water Bottle from the SSSF Store. Last week's question and possible answers:

What is reduced when a muzzle brake is added to a firearm?

Noise
Missed targets
Choke constriction
Recoil
Bore diameter

The correct answer is Recoil. Reducing recoil is the most common reason for adding a muzzle brake to a firearm. The downside is that it often increases noise. It does not involve choke constriction or bore diameter, and it may or may not help with missed targets.
