COVID-19 Protocols for World Skeet Championships

By

The NSSA and National Shooting Complex will implement a comprehensive list of COVID-19 protocols to reduce risks and prioritize the safety of our 2020 World Skeet Championships participants, guests, vendors, and NSC staff. Below are the protocols we will follow:

  • Parking passes will be required in an effort to prevent non-shooters from driving around the complex.
  • We will check the temperature of shooters going into Registration. 
  • All shooters will receive a face mask and a small bottle of hand sanitizer in their goodie bag.
  • Squads will be asked to maintain social distancing in the field, i.e., 6 feet between shooters waiting their turn to shoot. 
  • Voice-release wands will not be used, allowing for social distancing between shooters and the referee.
  • We will minimize the number of workers and shooters inside Registration at one time.
  • Plexiglass barriers will be used in Registration, the Pro Shop, and Ammo Building to protect the shooters and staff. 
  • Tables and chairs at the Club House and patio are spread out to facilitate social distancing.
  • Masks are required at all times inside any building and in all other areas where social distancing cannot be maintained.
  • We will take the temperature of referees and loaders every morning prior to shooting.
  • There will be no communal water jugs or coolers provided on the field. Instead, staff members will distribute bottles of water on the fields prior to each flight. 
  • To discourage congregation of shooters, there will not be a printed scoreboard. Shooters will need to look online to see the scores or at TVs spaced out outside Registration and at the Club House. 
  • There will be an EMT onsite during all shooting flights. They will be available to take the temperature of anyone who needs it and help as needed for medical issues. 
  • To discourage on-site shopping, we will encourage participants to pre-order event merchandise for pick-up during registration and will have very limited quantities of merchandise for sale at the event. 
  • We will not host social events, i.e., the Hall of Fame Banquet, that do not allow for social distancing.

COVID-19 Policy Letter from the NSSA Executive Committee

By

NSSA’s Executive Committee has convened the three previous weeks via phone conference to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on our association and, more importantly, our members, member clubs, and NSC employees.

As we watch the world respond to this unprecedented crisis, it is clear to us that we have one priority: the health and safety of our members and employees.

With you as our focus, we recommend our members and member clubs follow your national, provincial, state, and local government precautionary guidelines.

We recommend these guidelines be viewed as the parameters to govern your club’s decision process to host sporting clays and skeet events.

We encourage ALL to consult and adhere to these guidelines as this situation continues to evolve.

NSSA will adhere and comply with the recommendations of local government recommendations and mandates that affect our NSSA- and NSCA-sponsored competitions (e.g., Krieghoff Masters, Kolar U.S. Open, World FITASC, National Sporting Clays Championship, Junior World, and World Skeet Championships, etc.).

We will assess the viability of these premiere events through weekly conference calls and make decisions with your health and safety as our focus.

We fully expect that our decisions will not be universally appreciated, but our mission, as your volunteer leaders in collaboration with your NSC staff, is to serve you and lead our association of 48,000 members and 620 clubs in 31 nations.

We encourage member clubs to follow our lead and assess your activities through the lens of your local government guidelines.

We will:
1. Provide 100% refund of deposits for NSSA- and NSCA-sponsored shoots if cancellations occur -OR- if the shooter is not comfortable with traveling to an event due to their personal risk assessment.
2. Explore options for postponing versus canceling events to a later date in 2020, if feasible and practical.
3. Make timely decisions on NSSA- and NSCA-sponsored shoots.
4. Support our members and clubs through our Headquarters staff performing their continuity of operations, working in both remote and on-site capacities.

In closing, we will continue to monitor current conditions and make decisions with your health and safety as our primary focus. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Shooting for Rewards Points Now Last Longer

By

Shooting for RewardsEffective February 26, 2020, points earned in the Shooting for Rewards program for shooting registered targets won’t expire for four years, doubling the time they can be redeemed. The Shooting for Rewards program allows NSSA-NSCA members to turn their registered targets into logo merchandise, shooting gear, and even shooting fees for events like the World Skeet Championships or National Sporting Clays Championship!

Points are earned just for shooting registered targets — for every target you register, you earn a point. NSSA members will earn DOUBLE points for participating in their state or zone shoot and TRIPLE points for the World Skeet Championships. You can check your points status anytime just by logging on to your NSSA My Home Page or NSCA My Home Page.

Rewards points can be redeemed online anytime, 24/7!

To redeem your points, just log on to your NSSA or NSCA My Home Page, and click the Spend Points link.  That will take you to the Shooting for Rewards catalog.

See the Shooting for Rewards Catalog

Note that you must be logged in to your own account to spend points; if you are logged in under a family member’s number, for example, you will not be able to view your own rewards points.

Please allow 4-7 weeks for orders to ship out, as some items are custom ordered to your specifications.

Shipping is free within the United States. International orders will incur shipping charges. In that event, you will be contacted via the information we have on file for you, or you can call headquarters at 210-688-3371 after you have placed your order.

Find something you want but don’t have enough points? Not a problem. Just keep shooting and saving your points. Now, points do not expire for four years after they are earned. Keep shooting and earning!
