PRESIDENTS CORNER 

December 2023

On behalf of the FSSA Directors, I’d like to wish you a very joyous and blessed Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year.

I’m grateful for each member of The Florida Sport Shooting Association and our affiliated clubs. Without you, our ability to promote shooting events throughout the state, support our junior and women’s programs and support individuals and teams at state and national level competitions would not be possible. I can’t thank you enough.

This Christmas, I’ll offer a prayer of gratitude for each of you and for the extraordinary blessing to live in the United States. I hope you’ll take a moment and do the same.

Our Second Amendment Freedoms are unique and offer each one of us so many opportunities. Florida is truly a great place to live and exercise our 2A Freedoms. In 2024, I hope we all will take advantage of those freedoms…and in the upcoming election year, do all we can to preserve and protect our most valued Second Amendment.

I’m excited to share the shooting activities and highlight some special programs and people that are involved with FSSA next year. Your memberships and donations make that all possible.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Thanks to our members, our affiliated clubs, all the volunteers, instructors, coaches, and event coordinators who make possible the many shooting opportunities throughout our state. And a special “shout out” to our FSSA Directors who generously invest their time and talent. Thank You.

All the best!

Ted Carter

President, Florida Sport Shooting Association

Wild Game Meat Donation Month

NRA Celebrates Wild Game Meat Donation Month in November

This November, the National Rifle Association of America and its members will celebrate the first ever Wild Game Meat Donation Month to encourage all hunters to donate extra venison or other game meat to help provide meals for those in need. Giving and sharing are always in season, and November is the perfect time to do your part by donating to organizations who distribute high protein game meat to the less fortunate in your area.

''The NRA is excited to spearhead the first ever Wild Game Meat Donation Month,'' said Joseph P. De Bergalis, Jr., Executive Director of NRA General Operations. ''We implore other conservation groups to help celebrate the hardworking network of Hunters for the Hungry organizations around America by spreading the word and asking their members to donate legally harvest wild game meat to processors and food banks in their communities.''

Recently completed surveys and research funded by the NRA Hunters' Leadership Forum show that if you are a member of a conservation organization, you are three times more likely to donate to a Hunters for the Hungry organization. In 2022, many of the processors in the Hunters for the Hungry network did not receive enough donations to complete their missions. If you are fortunate to live in an area that has a plethora of whitetail tags, you can help game populations stay healthy by harvesting an extra doe and donating it to a network in your area.
