Scholastic Steel Challenge Support Packages
Handguns- Currently SSC has two programs in which an SSC team or competitor can receive free or purchase handguns at a discount for the program.

Free Handguns – Glock and Smith & Wesson have donated a limited number of handguns. As part of the support packages, teams may be eligible to receive a handgun donated by our handgun partners. In order to receive donated firearms from SSC, a team must designate a Responsible Person (hereinafter referred to as the RP), who will be the only person authorized to make requests to SSC for participation in the program.

Once the request is granted, the RP will maintain custody of the handgun on behalf of the team. The team may not sell or trade the handgun. Should the relationship between the RP and the team be severed for any reason, the team must immediately designate another RP and supply SSC with the name and contact information of the new RP. The RP agrees to immediately return any gun owned by the team under this program upon request. To check on availability of a free gun or for more information, contact SSC Director, Scott Moore at scott@steelchallenge.com.

Ammunition – Winchester Ammunition has donated a limited amount of 9mm ammunition, in the form of 500 round cases, for SSC teams in need. To check on availability of a free case or for more information, contact SSC Director, Scott Moore at scott@steelchallenge.com .
