For the 3rd year in a row, Otis Technology has signed on as a Gold Level sponsor for the 2016 National Championships that will be held at the Cardinal Center in Marengo, Ohio, on July 9-16.

"Otis Technology has great products and are so willing to support our athletes by making sure they receive a donation in their goody bags at the National Championships," Rick Leach, director of development for the Scholastic Action Shooting Program, said.

Heather Bennet, Otis marketing manager, said,"Otis is delighted to continue our support of the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation and align with an organization that dedicates itself to introducing our youth to the shooting sports while teaching them safe firearm practices."

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.
