Subject: Starting a high school team
Posted: 09 Jan 2009 at 11:09am

This is a question we recently received (edited for privacy) and I thought this might be helpful to other people:

 
A fellow student and I were in the process of starting a shooting club at our school with some of the teachers and staff as the sponsors of the club.  Upon seeing the Scholastic Shooting Trust video on Youtube, I recognized this program as an opportunity to get the club on its feet.  In the video, Mr. Potterfield said that part of the mission of this program is to help teams get on their feet.  I guess what I am trying to ask is how do we get started and could or should we get started with your help? The next step is, after we get started, how do we register and get involved in your program?  

Reply:

Thank you for the email.  The mission of the Scholastic Shooting Trust Fund is to raise money for competitive shooting teams, invest it  and distribute the earnings.  This provides a long-term funding base for shooting teams and assures their financial stability.  
 

If your school isn't listed in our database or if your team information isn't included, I need some information:

School name:

Address:

Number of students:

Grade levels (e.g. 9-12):

Shooting Discipline (smallbore, air rifle, shotgun?):

Coach/Sponsor:

Coach contact information:

 

Once your school is in the database, you can use the website as a place for folks to donate money to support the team.  The SST grants back 5% of the initial donation and invests the remaining 95%, and then distributes the earnings each year.  We have some information under “Forms” your team can use as marketing.  And you can link your team website to your school page on the SST website (the Yale Pistol Team did that last fall.)  Of course, you are always welcome to contact us with questions. 

 

Good luck with your team.

Last week the Columbia, MO FFA Shotgun Team received a $5,000 grant from the Scholastic Shooting Trust.  Chuck Miller coaches the team and they compete in events across the state including the state championships at Linn Creek.  The team is a combination of students from Hickman High School and Rockbridge High School in Columbia, MO.  With the reception of the grant money, look for the team to be breaking a lot of clay targets during practice at Prairie Grove Shooting Sports Club.]]> Mon, 20 Oct 2008 11:27:29 +0000 http://www.scholasticshootingtrust.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12&PID=17#17 Shotgun : Scholastic Shooting Trust presents grant to Mizzou http://www.scholasticshootingtrust.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11&PID=16#16 Author: CMorgret

Dewitt Corrigan, President of the University of Arkansas Skeet & Trap team sent a note to alumnus Larry Potterfield saying "On behalf of the University of Arkansas Skeet & Trap team we would like to say thank you for your generous $10,000 contribution to our club's fund.  Your commitment to help us continue to grow and expand sincerely appreciated." 
 
This is what the Scholastic Shooting Trust is all about.  Alumni supporting the teams at their alma mater.  With everybody's combined effort, we can make a tremendous difference.  This is just the start for the Razorback team, or, as Dewitt said, "Woo Pig Sooie!!!"

The NRA just recently put all of their rule books online.  You can download or print from www.nrahq.org.

Google CMP and/or USAShooting. They both have down- loadable rule books for most disciplines. NRA has NRA specific rule books but usually charge for copies.]]> Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:18:43 +0000 http://www.scholasticshootingtrust.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8&PID=12#12 How to Start a Shooting Program : Discipline Competition Rules http://www.scholasticshootingtrust.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8&PID=11#11 Author: Guests

All team sthat receive a donation will be notified.  Beyond that, we are using different public relations efforts to let everyone know about the SST Fund and encourage them to participate.
