Federal Ammunition has come up with some help to our 4-H projects around the state in response to the ammunition shortage that threatens to temporarily put a halt to shooting in certain disciplines. Read the following letter from Ryan Bronson with Federal Ammunition. Follow up with the offer he makes to secure ammunition for your 4-Hers in your county program. The time frame for this offer is short so don't delay.
From Ryan Bronson:
Youth Shooting Sports Leaders:
We are well aware that many youth shooting sports programs are at risk of
closing down because they are unable to obtain enough .22LR ammunition to
operate their program. We have made the decision to allocate a significant
amount of Federal Champion 510 22LR rounds for approved youth organizations-
what equated to a few days’ worth of production for us. If you have used
our Direct Sale Youth program in the past, you will notice that the application
and process for this is a little more involved. This is to try to be as
fair as possible, and make sure the recipients of this ammo are legitimate
youth programs.
As you can imagine we are extremely busy at this time, so we strongly encourage you to avoid calling and e-mailing us unless it is absolutely necessary. In fact, given my schedule this coming month don’t call period. E-mail as a last resort. Please read everything, and fill out the application fully. We expect to get hundreds of applications, so getting yours in early will help the process flow better.
You will need to register your local program on the Youth
Shooting Sports Alliance directory, found at: http://www.youthshootingsa.com, and
send us confirmation that you did so by printing it from the site and including
that in the application.
You will need to provide confirmation of your program’s
active status by providing some level of proof- the application explains what
we are looking for. Be complete, and provide more info rather than less
if you are in doubt. Independent programs are the hardest to confirm
their legitimacy, and if we are in doubt your application will probably be
rejected. Prove to us that the ammo will be used for an educational
program, and not end up for sale at a gun show next weekend.
Shot shells are not available through this program, and the
youth shot shell program will continue to be unavailable at least through the
summer- sorry.
We also would greatly appreciate it if you can help draw
traffic to our social media sites. Like us, follow us, etc.
