He will be able to utilize his strong management, leadership and organizational skill to help grow SASP. Kelvin is pursuing his master’s degree in business administration with an emphasis in non-profits.
Kelvin was a longtime youth baseball coach and started out as a parent volunteer with SCTP and SASP. He is an assistant trap and pistol coach with Ozaukee Scholastic Shooting Sports (WI) and holds current NRA Level 1 Pistol coach, Level 1 Trap coach, and Range Safety Officer certifications. Kelvin has assisted with SASP and Pheasants Forever banquets. He also works with local veterans groups and helped coordinate a fundraising trap shoot for Healing Patriots.
"I am excited to be part of SASP and promoting youth shooting sports," said Walton. "I look forward to working with existing teams and helping new teams start up.

 Coaches requested a shorter version since some of their practice ranges are not deep enough to shoot that distance.  So, the “Exclamation.,” like the “M" was designed using the same targets and stop plate location as the stage they are a substitute for, but the furthest target is now only 48 feet instead of 75.

An added challenge to the new stages is that all past stages have had all the targets at the same height.  Both new stages challenge the athletes to learn a new skill set by transitioning between targets of different heights. SASP Founding Partner Action Target will soon have an SASP upgrade package available that will include the three new uprights and bases to be able to shoot the new stages, for teams who have previously purchased the Action Target SASP target set.  SASP thanks their Founding Partners GLOCK, Smith & Wesson, Action Target and the NRA as well as all SASP’s other sponsors for their continued support of their youth development program.  SASP teaches athletes life lessons through safe firearms handling and competitive shooting.  If you would like more information about starting a SASP team in your area contact Leach at rleach@sssfonline.com .
