By Justin Stakes

Columbus, OH -(AmmoLand.com)- Two years ago, National Skeet Shooting Association (NSSA) member Charles Gates died leaving a wonderful legacy gift in his estate.

Unbeknownst to either organization at the time, Mr. Gates had structured his estate to donate his prized Krieghoff shotgun collection to be sold and the proceeds to specifically support the youth shooting initiatives of both the NSSA and the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF).
