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.

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 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.

I look forward to sharing FSSA and FSSA affiliated clubs' shooting activities, and highlight some special programs and people that are involved with our state association 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 and hunting opportunities throughout our state. Finally, 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
