Obtaining the Patches

1. Provide instant recognition to your recruits by ordering a supply of patches in advance online.  NSSF will ship orders as they are received, but delivery may take up to six weeks.  After the shoot, fill out a report that includes the first and last name of the participant, their scores and the type of patch earned. Return your report to NSSF by fax (203) 426-1320 or via mail to Junior USA Team 2007 – Advance Order Report, c/o NSSF, 11 Mile Hill Road, Newtown, CT  06470-2359. Your reports are important as they help us track the success of this program.
2. If you are eager to get started, simply download your targets or score sheets, go shooting, then order patches for your participants online.  You will need the first and last name of your participants and their scores to complete your order.
3. No time for paperwork? No problem. Simply provide the individuals their target or score sheet after they shoot.  They can then order their patch online at www.nssf.org/jrusa or by sending their target or score sheet to Junior USA Team 2007, c/o NSSF, 11 Mile Hill Road, Newtown, CT  06470-2359.
