STI International Donates $14,500 to USPSA
SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. — STI International, a leading manufacturer of competition firearms for the Practical Shooting market, has donated $14,500 to the U.S. Practical Shooting Association (USPSA). The funds, which were raised through sales of two specially designed pistols, will support a variety of USPSA programs and initiatives.
“The employees of STI International are proud of our company’s long-standing support for the sport of Practical Shooting. We have supported hundreds of shooters, sponsored countless matches and made growing the shooting sports a top priority. That’s why we are so pleased to present USPSA with this check for $14,500 to help them continue their vital efforts in expanding the sport we love,” said Dave Skinner, STI President and CEO.
“The name STI is synonymous with Practical Shooting and on behalf of our more than 17,000 members, I thank Dave and the entire STI family for their generous donation,” said Dave Thomas, USPSA Executive Director.
STI and USPSA announced the fundraising initiative at the 2008 SHOT Show in Las Vegas. The plan called for the production of two limited edition 1911 USPSA/STI signature pistols designed specifically for competition from which a portion of the sales would be donated to USPSA.
This is the second pistol program of its type undertaken by USPSA to help fund the sport which has grown to record levels in the past three years. The first effort in 2006 with firearms maker Para USA raised $31,000 for the organization.
