Shooting Sports Retailer - July/August 2010

its continued support and commitment to the younger generation of shooters. A long-time supporter of youth shooting safety and youth shooting sports programs, Winchester Ammunition and the YSSA’s relationship began with the inception of the YSSA on July 25, 2007. The Youth Shooting Sports Alliance addresses two important challenges regarding the recruitment and retention of new shooters: identify and support the needs of successful and safe youth programs, and provide leadership in the development and promotion

of family-friendly shooting range facilities to encourage continued participation in the shooting sports.

To help public and private shooting facilities jump start their recruitment and retention efforts, the NATIONAL SHOOTING SPOR TS FOUNDATION (NSSF) will be awarding up to $500,000 in grants this year to ranges around the country. This is the third year that NSSF has distributed funding to qualifying ranges through its Range Partnership Grant Program. The projects funded by the grants will

also serve as pilot programs, which, if successful, can be used by other facilities.
