PRESIDENTS CORNER December 2024 Hello Florida Sport Shooting Association Members, 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 the state and national level competitions would not be possible. I can’t thank you enough. Our Second Amendment Freedoms are unique and offer each one of us so many opportunities. Florida is truly a wonderful place to live and exercise our 2A Freedoms. In 2025, I hope we all will take advantage of those freedoms and share them with others as we are able. Also, in the upcoming year, let's continue to do all we can to preserve and protect our most valued Second Amendment. President, Florida Sport Shooting Association FSSA is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. The FSSA website has a link for members and non-members to make a charitable contribution to our state association, and your gift may be tax deductible. Please consider a year end donation at http://www.flssa.org. Click the link "Make a donation to FSSA". The donation can be designated to any of our discipline programs, our junior activities, or our general fund. These activities are designed to promote firearms safety, to enhance marksmanship skills of those participating in the shooting sports, and to support our junior and women's shooting programs. | TOP STORIES
