Winchester, the Official Ammunition of the SCTP International Team

EAST ALTON, Ill. — Winchester Ammunition is the champion in supporting the youth shooting sports. As the official ammunition of the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) and the SCTP International Team, Winchester is helping promote the SCTP mission and provide access to competitive shooting sports to thousands of young men and women around the country each year.

The new 2020-2021 SCTP International Team was decided this summer at the 2020 National Championship event and is listed below. These elite competitors distinguished themselves from their peers in the extremely challenging international events where targets are harder, faster and travel farther than those within American Trap and Skeet. Winchester congratulates the new International Team members and all those who participated in the competition.

Bunker Trap women:
Aiko Coloso - Florida
Taylor Dale - Wisconsin
Sydney Krieger - Arizona
Loretta Christian - Arizona

Bunker Trap men:
Logan Samson - Alaska
Tristan Schroder - Michigan
Matthew Killeen - Arizona
International Skeet women:
Erin Lokke - Minnesota
Sarah Schwacher - Wisconsin
Phoebe Smith - Tennessee
Madeline Corbin - Wisconsin
International Skeet men:
Zachary Maggard - Tennessee
Josh Corbin - Wisconsin
Preston Bailey - Missouri
Jordan Sapp - Arizona

The SCTP will host the 2020 Bunker 300 October 16-18, an open International Trap competition at the Cardinal Shooting Center in Marengo, Ohio. The 2020-2021 SCTP International Team members will be on-site competing in the event against any SCTP challengers that care to test their mettle.

Participants use a AA® load specifically developed by Winchester for International Shooting Sport Federation rules that contains a lightweight 24-gram shot load that travels at 1325 fps. While most target loads contain 1 or 1-1/8 oz of shot, the lighter 24-gram load is intended to make international competition even more challenging while the high velocity is needed to connect on these fast-flying targets. Winchester SKUs for these items are as follows - Trap: AANL127 and Skeet: AANL129.

Winchester will be sharing some pictures and updates from the event on Facebook (@WinchesterOfficial), Instagram (@winchesterammunition) and Twitter (@winchester).
