2023-2024 South Central Regional Initiatives (Preliminary)
The South Central Regional Director will work together with the South Central State Silhouette Representatives to establish 2023-2024 South Central Regional Initiatives to promote the growth of Rifle Silhouette in the region. The South Central Regional Director will also work with other NASSA Regional Directors when appropriate to leverage resources where mutual cooperation is beneficial. A preliminary listing of initiatives has been developed and will be reviewed and finalized for the years 2023-2024 as follows:
- Capture all local club matches within the South Central Region to increase visibility and participation at the club match level. This shall be achieved by the piloting and eventual introduction of Google Calendar Software (or equivalent) within all States in the South Central Region.
- Increase the level of participation of our Junior Rifle Silhouette Shooters throughout the South Central Region. This shall be achieved through development and piloting of training/outreach programs for existing 4H Clubs in identified areas of greatest potential.
- Expand the Air Rifle Silhouette Discipline throughout the South Central Region. This shall be achieved by collaborating with other organizations and suppliers, developing new innovative scoring/database processes, building new range capacity and promoting more championship and local club matches throughout the South Central Region.
- Develop New Complementary Silhouette Rifle Disciplines across the South Central Region to grow new participation in our club and championship matches. This shall be achieved by the solicitation of local clubs willing to test disciplines such as Benchrest/F-Class Silhouette, as well as trialing these disciplines at various 4-H locations in Louisiana and Texas.
- Develop a Highpower Silhouette Championship & Local Match Circuit across the South Central Region. This shall be achieved by the solicitation of local clubs willing to expand HP Silhouette range capacity, creating new HP Silhouette championship and club matches, coordination of calendars for such matches, and promoting various new HP disciplines such as Half-Course HP Silhouette.
