Members and friends of the ISTA, as you know, we are working on a fundraising initiative to raise money to build a "Hall of Fame" addition to our building at the Brittany Shooting Park.  ISTA members, former and present as well as family members and friends can purchase a personalized, engraved brick paver that will be used to build a sidewalk in front of the Hall of Fame building entrance.  Show your support of our organization, recognize your local club, or purchase a brick to remember a past shooter or accomplishment, that everyone will be able to see for years to come.
