Federal and CCI Allocate 20,000,000 Rounds for Youth Shooting
In cooperation with the Youth Shooting Sports Alliance (YSSA), Federal Premium Ammunition and sister company CCI have allocated 20 million rounds of rimfire ammunition to youth shooting sports programs. This will be sold at a discounted price, well below market value. The Boy Scouts of America will receive ten million .22 LR shells, and another ten million will be sent to other organizations. The Federal and CCI rimfire ammo will ship directly to the Boys Scouts of America, 4-H Shooting Sports, Scholastic Steel Challenge, and other qualified youth organizations. The ammo will ship later this month to ensure adequate supplies for summer camps and youth training programs.

Federal Premium and CCI have been supporting youth outreach programs for decades. The latest allocation of 20 Million .22 LR rounds supports the need for affordable and reliable ammunition. “We work very closely with several youth organizations who promote the youth shooting sports,” said Federal Premium Conservation Manager Ryan Bronson. “Their efforts are very important to us, and always have been. Many of them rely on rimfire ammunition to educate and teach tomorrow’s hunters and shooting sports enthusiasts. The current demand has put a strain on their ability to continue to operate. We hope this special allocation will ease some of the pressure, and keep our young people doing what they love — shooting and hunting.”

Nice to see. Many youths have been forced to stop shooting with no .22 ammo available.
Sirs, I am a shooting instructor,(rifle) for our Winnebago co. 4-H program. I am also a board member of Northern Ill Rifle and Pistol Club and have worked with Boy Scouts shooting programs and NRA’s Women on Target at our NIRPC range.
Please inform me on how we can apply for this 22 ammo for our youth programs. Thank You

Sirs, I am an instructor with the Elkin Shooting Sports. We are a hunter safety program through out local high school and middle school. Is Federal Ammunition allocating ammo for youth shooting teams for 2014? If so, how does one apply for this ammo?
Sir/Ma’am,
I’m one of 3 NRA-certified instructors & range safety officers who coach a
competitive high school smallbore rifle team in Tumwater, WA.
We’ve been told that Federal sometimes
provides rimfire ammunition for such teams. Many of our young shooters come from single-parent or low income families. These youngsters are the shooters of tomorrow.
Any information you have on how to
apply for supplemental ammo for this team would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your support of America’s shooting sports.
