NSSF Sponsors USPSA Handgun Championships
Sedro-Woolley, WA — The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for the firearms industry, has signed on as a Gold Sponsor for the 2008 Smith & Wesson Limited, Production and Revolver USPSA Championships as well as the USPSA Open and Limited-10 National Championships. Both matches will be held back to back in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the U.S Shooting Academy September 7-13, 2008.
“The National Shooting Sports Foundation has led the way in promoting the shooting sports in America through various programs and partnerships, and over the years USPSA has worked closely with NSSF supporting its efforts to educate the media and introduce new shooters through First Shots. We are extremely pleased to have them as a Gold Sponsor partner for our national championship matches,” said Dave Thomas, Executive Director of USPSA.
“NSSF is pleased to support the USPSA Handgun Championships as a gold sponsor,” said Steve Sanetti, president of NSSF. “Just as watching the Olympic Games drives people to become active, so handgun competition of this caliber showcases the excitement and skill of the shooting sports and serves as a motivator for those interested in giving shooting a try.”
More than 625 of the nation’s top handgun shooters, as well as several from outside the United States, are expected to compete in the championships where they will negotiate their way through stages on two field courses on their way to putting more than 280,000 rounds down range. The Handgun National Championships are the highlight of the practical shooting season in the United States, and in 2008, a preliminary for the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) World Championships at the end of October in Bali, Indonesia.
