There will be a number of exciting changes in 2010 that will make Progressive Position Pistol (PPP) even more enjoyable. The new counterbalanced T-Stand will allow athletes a much smoother and quicker transition to the fine control necessary to become great shooters without risking injury by overtaxing the shoulder joint too early. (Note that we still recommend physical training for all shooters). These rules also incorporate the flexibility for coaches and athletes to use the shooting positions most effectively for their stage of development. We recommend that athletes switch to a one-handed grip when their hand is large enough to comfortably grip and control their pistol. There are no restrictions on counterbalance weights, which will allow the greatest latitude for the athlete's comfort and stability.

 

Read more about the new rules here.

USA Shooting will be exhibiting at the 2010 SHOT Show at Booth L254. Attendees will have the chance to meet and chat with the USA Shooting Team and Olympic Team members.

 

There will be drawings for the USA  Shooting Benchmade Knife and a Kimber .22 conversion kit. All one has to do is provide USA Shooting with his or her contact information.

 

There will also be a raffle in which participants can buy tickets to win a USA Shooting Ruger 10/22 rifle signed by Olympians past, present and future!

 

So come visit us in Booth L254!

The official launch of the USA Shooting Rewards Program is here! This past July we announced USA Shooting's intention to develop a program that supported both its mission and its dedicated clubs and athletes. Following our announcement, a small volunteer test market group was formed, which was dedicated to molding the program to bring you, the members, the best possible package. We believe that our program will inspire our clubs to host more USA Shooting sanctioned matches, which will provide more opportunity for shooter participation.
 
The program consists of several achievable levels for both the clubs and the individual shooters. The first level of achievement is Bronze, the second is Silver, the third is Gold with a top level of achievement of Elite Athlete (Elite is for shooters only. The highest level of achievement for clubs is Gold). Each level of achievement will be rewarded with increasing benefits such as gun stock stickers, certificates, discounted event registrations and much more. 
 
The Rewards Program offers new opportunities for USAS clubs and shooters, and participation is simple! Packets, including program details, will be mailed to those clubs requesting more information. Club directors can call the USAS Membership office at 719-866-4743 or send an email to membership@usashooting.org with their club's contact and mailing information. Please note that individual members of USAS will need to contact their local club directly for program details.
 
Our intention for the Rewards Program is to offer the best support to both the clubs and the shooters and to reward those dedicated to growing the sport of shooting and striving towards individual achievement on any level.
