“We are confident that Jim Henderson’s expansive knowledge and experience in international shooting sports, both as a competitor and coach, will quickly establish our new air pistol, air rifle and sport pistol disciplines,” said SASP National Director, Rick Leach. “Jim’s experience with the CMP and USAS will help us as we work together with these groups to grow youth shooting sports in our nation. SASP is known throughout the nation as a premier youth shooting sports program and we will continue to uphold that reputation with our new international disciplines guided by Jim Henderson. As USA Shooting’s official youth feeder program, along with the selection of the SASP as the national governing body for the Intercollegiate Pistol Program, made up of a large group of NCAA schools, we are absolutely thrilled to add Jim Henderson as our new Director of Development for International Disciplines to further capitalize on this momentum.”
