COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (April 8, 2009) - USA Shooting is pleased to announce a partnership extension with ELEY Limited through the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Eley Limited, manufacturer of the world’s most consistently accurate rimfire ammunition, has been the official sponsor and official supplier of .22 rimfire ammunition of the USA Shooting rifle and pistol teams since 2000.
“ELEY’s partnership will continue to play a key role in the success of USA Shooting’s rifle and pistol shooters in international and Olympic competition,” said Buddy DuVall, Director of Marketing for USA Shooting. “USA Shooting’s objective is to provide our team members with the best possible resources to help them achieve greatness, and ELEY ammunition is second to none for accuracy and reliability.”
ELEY’s premium cartridge Tenex has been used by Olympic champions throughout the world since 1964 when the new .22 entered world competition at the Tokyo Olympic Games and won all gold and sliver medals in the .22 long rifle and pistol events. This success story continues nearly fifty years later at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games with the refined Tenex cartridges winning 12 medals, bringing ELEY’s tally of Olympic medals to 102.
