Daisy Outdoor Products Donates to YSSA

The Youth Shooting Sports Alliance (YSSA) recently announced that Daisy Outdoor Products, the world's oldest and largest producer of airguns, has provided a generous donation to YSSA for use in support of youth shooting sports programs.

Daisy has been a long-time supporter of youth shooting safety and youth shooting sports programs. The company recognizes the impact that the YSSA is having on enabling organizations to introduce young and first-time shooters safely to airguns and to all disciplines of the shooting sports.

"The YSSA is doing a tremendous job of identifying, assessing and prioritizing needs. They are matching up donors who want to perpetuate the shooting sports with organizations which have a passion for youth shooting programs, but may lack the finances to acquire the equipment," said Joe Murfin, Vice President of Marketing for Daisy and a member of the YSSA Board of Directors. "By making this donation available to YSSA, they can continue to fulfill some of their grant requests for airguns."

Priority youth shooting sports programs receiving support were among those selected by an industry panel convened to review proposals submitted by youth organizations in response to the 2009/2010 National Youth Shooting Sports Program Needs Assessment.
