"We couldn't be more excited to be sponsoring the Scholastic Action Shooting Program this year," Tim Schmidt, president and founder of the USCCA, said. "The SASP is an incredible organization, doing so much to teach responsible gun ownership and life lessons to today's youth. It's a huge honor to work closely with this organization and to witness the true positive impact it has on our culture and our future." Tammy Mowry, national director of the SASP, said, "USCCA is a natural fit for our SASP families. SASP is all about introducing youth to the shooting sports.

Coaches and teams! Registration for the Virtual Match series April 24 - June 4, 2017, is now open. Teams that are currently practicing and forming can take part in our newest competitions! 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!
