Scottsdale, AZ -(AmmoLand.com)- Sonoran Desert Institute (SDI), an industry leader in providing accredited and accelerated on-line learning, announces a new partnership with K.C. Eusebio, owner of five Steel Challenge World Speed Shooting records, to lead an all-new SDI shooting team.
Eusebio is an International Practical Shooting Confederation and United States Practical Shooting Association member and Steel Challenge action shooting competitor who has been featured on the Hot Shots television series. He is a four-time Open World Steel Challenge Speed Shooting Champion and four-time Open U.S. National Steel Challenge Speed Shooting Champion.
Eusebio, who was the youngest USPSA master at 10-years-old, said the partnership with SDI will enable him to give back to the youth who can then set “a trail for the new generation.”
“I’ve been blessed with so many opportunities in life that I told myself at a young age that if I was ever in a position to give back, I would pay it forward,” he said. “I also want others to see (how) education and firearms can work together, and minimize the violence within today’s society.”
“We’re very exciting to launch our new SDI Shooting Team program,” says SDI Executive Director of Strategic Development Wes LeMay. “Through a combination of coaching, shooting lessons and competitions, the shooting team gives us new opportunities to educate people about the benefits of attending SDI as well as to develop a greater appreciation for firearm education.”
