ANOKA, Minnesota - September 24, 2025 - Federal Ammunition is proud to continue supporting the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) and the Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP). Part of this support includes partnering with the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF) to cover all NRA World Shooting Championship entry fees for the top six scorers from this year’s Top Gun Challenge. These young marksmen and markswomen will compete on one of the sport’s biggest stages.

This summer at the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation National Championship, SSSF hosted its annual Top Gun Challenge, where multi-discipline youth shooters squared off for prizes, prestige, and a potential shot at something bigger. Now, six of those standout competitors are packing their bags for the 2025 NRA World Shooting Championship at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, running September 30 to October 4, with all their expenses paid.

“The SCTP and SASP are great feeder programs for the future of USA Shooting,” said Jon Zinnel, Federal’s Director of Community Relations. “We are proud to help pay the way for several of the Top Gun Challenge competitors to participate in the NRA World Shooting Championship. These outstanding athletes won High Over All (Top Gun) honors at the National SCTP and SASP events (the SSSF National Championships) last month and deserve the opportunity and recognition.

The SSSF is a public charity responsible for all aspects of the SCTP and SASP nationwide. At the SSSF National Championships, athletes showcased their skills in a variety of disciplines, including Trap and Skeet, Iron Sight Pistol, 1911, Rifle, and more. The winners’ combined performances across multiple shooting disciplines earned them a place among the best of the best. The NRA World Shooting Championship format will test that versatility even further. Learn more at: https://sssfonline.org and https://wsc.nra.org.

“We cannot thank Federal Premium Ammunition enough for their support to give our athletes this great opportunity,” said Rick Leach, SSSF President and Executive Director. “We look forward to seeing what these young athletes can do at the NRA World Shooting Championship. They have already proven themselves at our own National Championship with some very impressive scores in many different shooting sports.”
