Ruger Contributes $10,000 to USA Shooting Team



COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 28, 2009) - Ruger presented USA Shooting with a $10,000 check at the Shooting Industry Masters following the Academy of Excellence awards in Hartford, Conn. on Friday, July 24. Proceeds from the sales of a TALO Distributors exclusive limited edition Ruger Mark III .22 pistol generated this latest contribution to the shooting team. This is the fourth collaboration between TALO Distributors and Ruger on USA Shooting Team projects.



Since 2003, Ruger has produced two USA Shooting Team series Ruger 10/22 rifles and a Ruger Mark II pistol. Proceeds from these limited edition Ruger firearms have generated over $300,000 in funding for the USA Shooting Team.
