ELEY High School All American Program Recognizes ASSA Nationals
With Covid-19 and the subsequent postponement of several key matches used to determine ELEY High School All American status, ELEY has extended the deadline for submitting nominations and added the 2020 ASSA National 3-Position Rifle Championships as a qualifying competition. If the shooter fires both 3P matches with iron sights, both scores can be submitted. The athlete should visit the ELEY tent to notify ELEY HS All American Program administrator, Michele Makucevich, prior to shooting irons on the any sights day so this may be witnessed. (NOTE: 3 scores are necessary and the state level Junior Olympics may be combined with the ASSA Nationals to fulfill this requirement.)
Currently USA Shooting has scheduled the Smallbore Olympic Trials Part 2, and is considering holding the National Junior Olympic Rifle and Air Rifle Championships and USAS National Smallbore Championships in the fall time frame.
The last match of eligibility will still be the USA Shooting Nationals, if held, and scores from this event will be recorded and calculated by ELEY personnel at the match for final tabulation and the presentation of awards in conjunction with the competition awards. Should this match be cancelled, awards will be mailed to the athlete nominators for presentation.
As a special exception recognizing that these matches were delayed from their normal time frame, members of the graduating high school class of 2020 remain eligible even if they’ve already begun their collegiate careers.
Nomination forms may be submitted through September 15, 2020. Please use the forms at https://www.eleyammunition.com/high-school-all-american/
Note: there are separate forms for Air Rifle and Smallbore. To nominate an athlete for both guns, both forms must be submitted.

2019 ASSA National championships - Prone & F-SBR
Competitors:
ASSA has generated and mailed almost all of the cash awards won during all phases of the 2019 ASSA National Smallbore Championships.
It is a tedious process to ensure that the maximum amount of awards are returned to the competitors, all match sponsors' donations are properly attributed to the disciplines and/or specific categories and that many data entry items are all accounted for prior to generating and sending the checks.
While it was tedious, it was also a very gratifying knowing that ASSA has received incredible sponsorships to support YOUR championships. The importance and gratitude to the individuals and businesses which have supported our efforts to promote and expand conventional smallbore rifle competition in the United States cannot be understated.
With that said, attached are the summary letters sent with the cash payouts for the prone, F-SBR and 3-position disciplines for the 2019 championships. For competitors that participated in and are receiving awards for more than one event, please note that there will be more than one check (and summary letter) in your envelope.
Again, thank you to all of our sponsors, members and competitors in making the 2019 season another success!
Best Regards,
ASSA

Furthermore, the representatives will also be able to provide more information on the new SK flat-nose smallbore match ammunition. The new SK offerings expand their product line, which is known world wide for excellent match grade accuracy at a very appealing price point.
Lapua Midas+ and Center-X ammunition have continued to be the ammunition of choice for top flight competitors achieving podium finishes in smallbore benchrest, prone, 3-position and F-class matches.
