🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 | We Remember.

Twenty-five years later, we pause to remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001.

We remember the families who lost loved ones, the first responders who ran toward danger, the service members who answered the call in the years that followed, and the countless Americans whose lives were forever changed that day.

We remember the courage, sacrifice, and unity that emerged from tragedy.

25 years later, we remember. We honor. We will never forget.

🎬 THE 2026 SSSF NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS CAPTURED ON FILM.

What does a day at the SSSF National Championships really look like?Now you can see it.

Gunstuff TV spent time at Nationals capturing the athletes, teams, coaches, families, competition and unforgettable moments that make this event so special.

The result? 🎥 A 45-minute documentary of the 2026 SSSF National Championships.

And we have a challenge for everyone who was there:
👀 Find yourself.
👀 Find your teammates.
👀 Find your team.
👀 Find your friends.

Then SHARE IT. Share it with your team. Tag the people you see. Put it on your story. Send it to someone who has never experienced Nationals.

Because this isn't just a video about an event. It's a look at the people and community that make scholastic shooting sports what they are.

And we'd love to see this video reach way beyond the people who were at Nationals.

Four thousand young shooting sport athletes. Three million rounds. Twelve days in Marengo, Ohio. And nothing went wrong. GunStuff TV was at the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation 2026 National...

Some of our staff got a chance today to shoot clays with Guinness World Book record holder Dave Miller and his father Dave at Miller Shooting Sports in Missouri. What a great facility to train. We all got great pointers and when we got to see Dave senior shoot, we found out quickly where the junior Miller learned to shoot. If you get a chance to train at Miller Shooting Sports jump on the opportunity.

This weekend State Advisors from across the country came together for a conference with a couple goals in mind: strengthen our state programs and grow youth shooting sports.

We were lucky enough to have guests Larry and Brenda Potterfield (MidwayUSA), Nathan Robinson (Wi******er), David Grell (MidwayUSA Foundation), Dave Miller (Akkar), and Justin Aycock (Ducks Unlimited) present.

To round out the weekend we went to Prairie Grove Shooting Sports Complex and let everyone have some fun on the range. SCTP advisors were trying the pistol/riffle side and SASP advisors were trying the shotgun side!

There have been so many great conversations and ideas shared, our Advisors are excited to bring these ideas back to their home states and start the 2026/2027 season! Cant wait to see all the advisors, coaches, athletes and parents at tournaments soon!
