Safety Officers Needed for SASP National Championships
July will be here before we know it and we’ll all be traveling to Ohio for the National Championships being held at the Cardinal Center in Marengo. We are looking for help with getting Safety Officers for the match. The National Championships will take place July 8-15 and we will have two flights of shooters going out each day except for July 16, where we will have just one flight of shooters going out since that is the last day. If you’re a coach of one of our SASP teams or have been a Safety Officer (SO) or Range Officer (RO) for our matches or IDPA or USPSA matches, and would like to help us out by donating half day or more for the athletes, please contact Rick Leach (rleach@sssfonline.com) or Tammy Mowry (tmowry@sssfonline.com). We would greatly appreciate your help.

See how you stack up against teams from around the country in trap and skeet! It’s easy and fun! Coaches, sign in to your SHOT System account and go to “Virtual Series”. Once there, click on “Virtual Series” in the list of Available Options. After that, click on “Register Now”. Registered teams will receive additional information and scoring instructions in the next two weeks. Keep in mind, you must enter your athlete’s scores each week and prior to midnight of each Sunday. Scores for the week will be posted every Monday morning! The system will use the top five trap scores and top five skeet scores from each team as your team’s weekly competitive score. Some advice for coaches. Designate a score sheet pad as “Weekly Competition”. When athletes sign up on that pad/score sheet, they are acknowledging that they will be using that score as their competition score for the week. You can do this at any practice you choose, but only one time per week. Coaches, please have the competition score sheets initialed by the score puller and the coach overseeing that competition round. After that practice session, log back into the competition interface and click on the tab that says “scoring” and then go to your squad and input the scores. This will also help you create a “competition” type of atmosphere for your athletes and get them better prepared for upcoming face to face competitions! Get all of the details by checking out our FAQ page! If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact anyone of us at the SCTP!
