The serious shortage of ammunition across the state and country is
affecting many, if not most, of our 4-H Shooting Sports projects in
Texas. The critical issue at the moment is the lack of .22 caliber
ammunition. Immediately following is the lack of shotgun ammunition.
These are two firearm types that make up the majority of our shooting
within the 4-H program. Federal Ammunition has been a long time
supporter of the 4-H Shooting Sports program across the nation. Their
representative, Ryan Bronson, who coordinates directly with state 4-H
programs, recently sent a letter to all state 4-H Shooting Sports
coordinators with an update from Federal Ammunition on this issue. I
wanted to pass his words along to you. Click here to read the letter.
Part
of Ryan's letter describes Federal's direct sale program which allows
4-H projects the opportunity to order ammunition directly from them and
have it shipped. Any project wanting to participate in this must get on
Federal's email distribution list by contacting them at
sg.conservation@atk.com and ask to be included on the 4-H list. Check
this out for future ammunition needs.
