Federal Ammunition continues to invest in the future of shooting sports, announcing it will cover entry fees for six rising stars headed to the 2025 NRA World Shooting Championship. The young athletes earned their way to Camp Atterbury, Indiana (Sept. 30-Oct. 4), by dominating the SSSF Top Gun Challenge this summer.

These six shooters, all standouts in the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) and Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP), rose above the field at the SSSF National Championships, showcasing marksmanship skills across multiple disciplines including Trap, Skeet, Pistol and Rifle.

“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 National Championships tested competitors across traditional and action shooting events, with the Top Gun Challenge rewarding all-around excellence. Now, these six get to see how they stack up on one of the sport’s biggest stages.

“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.”
