Federal Premium last week announced a new partnership with the U.S. Practical Shooting Association.
“USPSA is a huge piece of the target shooting market,” Federal Premium Product Line Manager Justin Johnson said in a press release Thursday. “This is a monumental leap forward for both organizations, and we are excited to be on the ground floor for continued greatness to come.”
USPSA, established in 1984, serves as the governing body for the International Practical Shooting Confederation. The association boasts more than 445 local clubs and 30,000 members nationwide.
Mike Foley, president and CEO of the association, praised the partnership Thursday for encouraging new members and providing “alternatives to reloading and sourcing match ammunition.”
“The power factor requirements for multiple USPSA divisions can be met with ammunition available from retailers instead of custom loads requiring a larger investments in time and equipment,” he said. “USPSA will gain market recognition in mainstream sporting goods stores, and this relationship provides additional funding for education and event promotion. To say the least, we are extremely excited to be working with Federal Premium Ammunition.”
