The Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF) is pleased to offer a highly engraved GLOCK G17 as part of a raffle package benefiting the Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP). To commemorate 30 years of GLOCK, 30 pistols have been uniquely hand-engraved by five master engravers. The exclusive SSSF pistol (S/N 30USA18) was presented to the SSSF for its significant contributions to the success of GLOCK and is part of a raffle package to be drawn on July 15 as part of the SASP National Championships in Marengo, Ohio.

"With GLOCK celebrating its 30th Anniversary in the United States, we are excited to include the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF) as one of the recipients of our specially engraved pistols to celebrate the occasion," said Ed Fitzgerald, special projects manager for GLOCK. "We hope that GLOCK and SSSF will continue to grow together for the future of junior shooters looking to start their shooting experience in a safe and structured environment."

"We are so appreciative of GLOCK's support of the Scholastic Action Shooting Program as a founding partner and as one of the recipients of a 30th Anniversary GLOCK G17s," Tammy Mowry, national program director for the Scholastic Action Shooting Program. "We look forward to the continued opportunity to work with GLOCK and introduce more youth to the great sport of competitive shooting."

The commemorative GLOCK 17 is one of five prizes in the raffle benefiting both local SASP teams and the national organization. Other great prizes include steel targets from Action Target, two Smith and Wesson M&P 9 pistols and a Volquartsen Ultralite rifle.

The Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF) is responsible for all aspects of the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) and Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP) across the United States. SCTP and SASP are youth development programs in which adult coaches and other volunteers use shooting sports to teach and to demonstrate sportsmanship, responsibility, honesty, ethics, integrity, teamwork, and other positive life skills. SCTP was developed as a program of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) until the SSSF was created in 2007 to operate the SCTP. In 2012, SSSF created the SASP and became the managing foundation of both programs.
