NORTHERN ITALY’S F.A.I.R. SHOTGUNS TO SPONSOR SCTP FOR 2019

The Scholastic Clay Target Program is pleased to announce F.A.I.R. Shotguns, one of the Italian Firearms Group (IFG) brand of Italian manufactured firearms as a Silver Sponsor for 2019.

Kevin Kozel, Director of Business Development and Strategic Projects for Italian Firearms Group stated:

“We are proud to be a Silver Sponsor for SCTP in 2019. We have been sponsoring an individual SCTP shooter these last few years and know how important shooting sports are in the development of quality young people. Being an SCTP sponsor and introducing so many young shotgun shooters to the F.A.I.R. brand of quality Italian shotguns is very exciting for our company.

Tom Wondrash, National Director of the Scholastic Clay Target Program noted, “we are delighted to have F.A.I.R Shotguns with SCTP for 2019. We are looking forward to working with them in 2019 and beyond”.

Since its creation in 1971, F.A.I.R has been committed to an intensive Research and Development program and to the use of the latest technology and materials in the manufacturing of its shotguns. This focus on technical innovation, while still following the centuries old gun manufacturing traditions of Northern Italy, is a key element of their success in creating functional and highly reliable sports and hunting shotguns.

Pre-Registration for SCTP nationals begins May 15th, 2019

Like last year, due to the extremely large volume of teams and coaches trying to squad for the National Championships,  we will again be allowing teams to “pre-squad” for the 2019 SCTP National Championships at the Cardinal Center in Marengo, Ohio.

Here’s how it will work:
1. Send a check for the proper amount of all squads and athletes to the Burlington WI address post marked no earlier than 12:01am on May 15th and no later than midnight on May 22nd.

2. Money received is “Non-Refundable”. Pre-registration fees will not be returned for any athletes that do not attend the SCTP National Championships.

3. All squads must be “pre-built” on your team’s home page for the National Championships. Teams will be allowed to change athletes as they see fit later but all squads must be ready to populate the shooting schedule.

4. SCTP will populate the squad assignments based on the time and date received (time stamp) on the envelope containing your paperwork and check. PLEASE send by regular mail with NO signature required. Sending paperwork requiring a signature may delay your paperwork! 

5. Download and complete the pre-registration form (also available on the SSSF website) that provides your information along with dates and times you would like your squads assigned. Please give us 3 options for times and days.

6. Teams will be notified of their pre-registration by May 29 and before normal registration which opens on June 1st.

Note:
Completed form(s) must be sent in with payment either by credit card or by check, no payment sent in with forms will result in no squads entered for that team. These payments are “nonrefundable”!! If you pay for 15 athletes and only 12 show up, the other 3 athlete’s fees are not returned.

Completed forms and payments must be mailed to us no sooner than May 15, 2019 and sent to:
