Jason Anderson was brought on in January as the SCTP’s newest Regional Field Representative and covers the “Lower Midwest” area that includes Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.
A Girl & A Gun (AG & AG) announces that 14-year-old Jenna Jones, an AG & AG Youth Member from Comfort, TX, is the recipient of scholarship from AG & AG to be a 2A Heritage camper. Jenna earned High Junior at 3-Gun University on March 19, at the CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park.
The 2017 2A Heritage Junior Camps will take place this summer in Forest Lake, MN, and Topton, PA. Only 25 campers will be accepted into each event. Classes will take place on the first two days, followed by a match-style shοot on the last day. Juniors will receive instruction on pistol, rifle, shotgun (basic), long-range rifle, shotgun on the move/slugs/buckshot, advanced pistol skills, and transitions and stage planning.
“AG & AG has welcomed thousands of women into the shooting community, so we have seen an increase in family participation as well,” says Julianna Crowder, Founder of AG & AG. “Shooting sports have traditionally been a family activity; however, over the past 20 years, participation tapered so that most children only touched on marksmanship with pellet gυns at summer camps. 2A Heritage gives juniors the shοoting skills at the highest level. We are proud to support their programs to educate the next generation of competitive shooters.”
AG & AG sponsors the 2A Heritage website and will host a pizza dinner for the participants and their parents during the events. More information can be found at www.2AHeritage.org and AG & AG Youth Memberships.*Reprinted by permission from A Girl and A Gun. Learn more at AGirlandAGun.org.

What do you think of when you hear the word "Talladega"? Of course, the SASP College National Championships. This weekend SASP college teams from around the country converged on the CMP Range in Talladega, Alabama, to compete for bragging rights of being national champions. Ed Fitzgerald, with SASP founding partner GLOCK and Tom Yost from silver sponsor SIG SAUER joined us for the match and were on the range with the athletes. Thanks, Ed and Tom, for all of your help. 
SASP's sponsor Larry Steeley from Steel Target Paint was on hand to assist and also sponsored the paint at the match. Thank you, Larry. Steel Target Paint is such a big supporter of the SASP, it has decided to help out SASP teams that want to purchase paint for their matches. It has set up a great discount code that coaches can request from SASP staff. One Shot Covers The Spot! Thank you to the staff of the CMP Range for allowing us to use their beautiful range and for their staff and all their help. We had great help from our Safety Officers; we appreciate your help and support. This year’s champions are:
