DR. WILLIAM CHRISTY WINS ANNUAL AWARD

ORLANDO, Florida, (January 12th, 2007) - Dr. William Christy, known for his lifelong dedication to creating programs for numerous groups that help introduce shooting to young people all over the country, has won the third annual Crosman Friend of Youth Shooting Award. The Award, presented at the annual Crosman Corporation Reception at the 2007 SHOT Show in Orlando, Florida, on Friday, January 12th, 2007, recognizes an individual whose commitment to excellence in youth shooter education and dedication to a lifetime of safe shooting has enhanced the future of the sport.

Candidates for this year's Award included many outstanding supporters of shooting from a variety of groups, including the Boy Scouts of America, BSA Venturing, the International Hunter Education Association, Future Farmers of America, the NRA, 4-H Clubs of America and the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Christy was one of three finalists chosen from among a broad group of qualified candidates by a committee of his peers. Other finalists were Deborah Lyman and Dr. Kenneth Sabo.

According to Ken D'Arcy, Crosman Corporation president and CEO, Dr. William Christy has touched the lives of more young shooters than almost any person involved in shooter education today. "The key to growth in any sport is recruiting and motivating new blood. In shooting, young people represent the future. They must be a high priority for everyone involved in building both the industry and the sport. "Dr. William Christy has been involved in preparing young people for a lifetime of safe, enjoyable shooting for many years. He has created programs, helped to train instructors and coaches, enhanced the competitive environment for young shooters and has been a lifelong champion of getting young people involved in shooting, regardless of their background or ability, as a true lifetime sport. I can think of few people involved in our sport today who have made as significant an impact on its future. He is a most deserving recipient of the third annual Crosman Friend of Youth Shooting Award."

For many years Dr. Christy has been involved in shooting. In fact, his first exposure, as an 11-year old Boy Scout, was, he says, a life-changing experience. He won an airgun competition, was made a patrol leader and, as with most young people, was hooked on shooting sports for life.

In the Air Force, Christy worked with the Boy Scouts on base and, as part of his training, attended an NRA Rifle Instructor class at the BSA national camp. That began a lifelong tenure with scouting and its shooting programs.

During graduate school, Christy became involved in handicapped shooting, working with young people whose physical abilities were limited, either by trauma or at birth, to build their self-esteem through accomplishments on the range. Among many innovations, he adapted a Crosman sight for shooters with limited movement. It was instrumental in bringing withdrawn youngsters back to the mainstream and to an active life of shooting and learning. He coached the Virginia Tech Clay Target Team for 20 years, producing four all-Americans. He also coached the 4-H Shooting Sports Team and started two local youth shooting groups.

In 1988, he opened a full-time shooting sports consulting practice, serving a number of prominent organizations and corporations with a wide range of services. L.L. Bean, Federal Cartridge Company, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, National 4-H Shooting Sports Foundation, National Shooting Sports Foundation and Boy Scouts of America are among his prestigious clients. He has authored a monthly column in Hunter Education Journal and one in Trap & Field magazine, and is a life member of NRA, serving in numerous coaching and instructor capacities. He served on the National Outdoor Committee of the Venturing Program of Boy Scouts of America, works as a consultant for the National Shooting Sports Foundation and helped introduce young shooters to the American disciplines of trap, skeet and sporting clays at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

Most recently, Christy authored the National Shooting Sports strategic plan focused on youth shooting sports. The plan is designed to develop entry points and pathways for young shooters to become active in shooting and stick with it as a lifetime sport. But perhaps Christy's greatest legacy, according to Crosman President D'Arcy, is his dedication to instilling a respect for safe shooting and building youngsters' self-esteem through achievement, regardless of their skill level, life background or physical challenges. "If effectively delivering those messages to young people is the key to building our sport, then Dr. William Christy is one of the most skilled and dedicated messengers we've got.

The industry is fortunate to have him."

CROSMAN INTRODUCES FOUR NEW PELLETS

ROCHESTER, New York, (January 11, 2007) – Crosman Corporation, a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of products for the shooting sports, has introduced four new .177 caliber pellets for airgunning. Two are hard hitting hunting pellets, the Fireball and the Destroyer. The second two are Crosman’s first environmentally- friendly lead-free pellets, the Silver Eagle HP and the Silver Eagle WC. All are produced in Crosman’s US-based factory in East Bloomfield, New York.

According to Andrew Peters, Crosman’s product manager for accessories, these new models extend the range of the company’s pellet line with specialized, new performance characteristics. “These new pellets provide a new level of performance choice for airgunners interested in raising the level of their game.”

The Destroyer is a revolutionary new hunting pellet combining the best attributes of a pointed pellet with a hollow point, resulting in complete expansion and energy transfer.

The Silver Eagle HP is an ultra-high velocity, flat shooting, lead-free hollow point pellet. Its sister, the Silver Eagle WC, is an ultra-high velocity, flat shooting, lead-free wad cutter. “Together these four new pellets provide a range of choices for airgunners that we believe will enhance their shooting experience,”Peters said.
