The annual K-80 raffle is one of the major fundraisers for the USA Sporting Clays Team and also supports the Krieghoff All-American programs for both NSCA and NSSA.

This Month In Clay Target Nation

June 26, 2025 By hdyer

With skeet and sporting clays competitions heating up all over the country, the July issue of Clay Target Nation is packed with event coverage as well as tips and advice from our experts.

In our Training Tips columns, we’re publishing our last article from the late Barry Hartmann, in which he reminds skeet shooters of the importance of persistence and determination. On the sporting clays side, Gil Ash warns against cutting your eyes back to the target and urges shooters to track the target with their nose.

This year, we’re celebrating CTN’s 10th anniversary by bringing you one article each issue from our 2016 archives, and in July, that’s an article from John Shima that reminds shooters of an important fact we tend to forget: It’s just a target. Goals are great, but at the end of the day, what really matters? We also have a great article from sporting clays champion Haylyn Hanks about how to find the coach that meshes with your personality and your goals.

Of course, there’s event coverage galore, with articles on the Briley Blue Goose, the Krieghoff Masters, the Armed Services Skeet Championship and, of course, the U.S. Open Sporting Clays Championship. You’ll find Champion and Lady Champion Todd Hitch and Madison Sharpe on the cover, as well as a full article and a bonus photo gallery.

NSSA-NSCA Partners with NSSF to Launch New Educational Series

June 18, 2025 By Sherry Kerr

NSSA-NSCA has partnered with NSSF, the firearm industry trade association, to release a new educational content series designed to help new and non-traditional shooters confidently get started in shotgun sports. The series, available now on NSSF’s consumer-facing platform, LetsGoShooting.org, includes comprehensive hub pages and short instructional videos focused on the fundamentals of skeet and sporting clays, covering everything from safety and gear to etiquette and technique.

“We’re working to reduce the barriers to entry that many new shooters face, whether that’s uncertainty over the equipment needed, safe firearm handling and range etiquette or simply not knowing where to start,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “This initiative is about building confidence and creating a clear, safe and welcoming path into the shooting sports for anyone who’s interested in learning a new skill.”

“NSSF’s leadership in educating the public about the shooting sports brings countless new shooters to the range each year,” said Michael Hampton Jr., NSSA-NSCA Executive Director. “We’re proud to partner with NSSF in creating and distributing informative content on skeet and sporting clays, as well as offering free memberships so new shooters can try our sports and access our member benefits to improve their skills.”

Built for Beginners: Hub Pages and Video Series

The video series and digital “hub pages” provides new shooters with step-by-step beginner resources, including easy-to-follow guides, gear tips, safety education and tools for finding local ranges and clubs. These are designed to help new shooters be informed, safe and excited to get started. The hubs for sporting clays and skeet are:

          Discover Sporting Clays – NSCA Beginner’s Guide
          Skeet Shooting – NSSA Beginner’s Guide

 

Bonus: Free Limited Membership Offer

To further support new shooters, eligible first-time participants can receive a Complimentary Limited Membership (CLM) to either NSCA or NSSA. This free membership through 2026 includes access to sanctioned events, community support, and additional resources, providing a strong first step into the sport. Shooters who haven’t previously been an NSSA or NSCA member, or who haven’t been for at least three years, are eligible to sign up for the free membership at bit.ly/Free-NSSA-NSCA-Membership.

This campaign marks the beginning of a broader effort by NSSF and its partners to encourage greater participation across all shooting disciplines, always with a focus on safety, accessibility and inclusion. In addition to being available at LetsGoShooting.org, videos and materials will be distributed by NSSA-NSCA and NSSF through social media, newsletters and other communications channels, so watch for them to start appearing soon.

We are pleased to report that Sportsman’s Insurance Agency, Inc. (SIAI) has notified NSSA-NSCA of an update regarding the gun, gun club and instructor coverages they offer to our members and member clubs.

Changes Made in 2024 World Shoot Format

January 15, 2024 By Sherry Kerr

The World Shoot format has been modified for 2024. The changes start with the schedule of the Mini World, which will have one rotation of 12-gauge on Friday. This will allow for an earlier finish on Sunday afternoon. The order of events shot has also changed for the four-guns to the standard 12, 20, 28 and .410.

For the Main, the Wayne Mayes event will return to a shot event with a box of each gauge shot. This will occur on Monday before the Doubles event starts.

The 12-Gauge Main has also changed to a 200-target format, with 100 shot on Tuesday and 100 shot on Wednesday. Adding the Wayne Mayes and the additional 12-gauge targets requires extending the event through Saturday, October 5, so be sure to accommodate that day in your travel plans.

A revised registration form reflecting these changes has been posted on our World Shoot page. Changes have been made to the rotation options for the Mini and the Main, so please pay careful attention to your selections. Note that the rotations for the Doubles and 4-guns of the Mini have been combined, so you will only make one choice for the Mini World. One major change is reflected in Rotation 1 of the Mini, which will shoot the 12-Gauge on Friday. If you do not wish to shoot doubles, please indicate such or use the individual event boxes to make your event selections. Similarly in the Main, the Wayne Mayes and Doubles rotations are combined. If you do not plan to shoot the Wayne Mayes Event and will only shoot the Main Doubles, you will need to select Rotation 3 or 4.

If you previously pre-registered, you will maintain your original position for rotation assignments. Stephanie Haga is in the process of contacting everyone who has already pre-registered to get their updated rotation preferences.

If you have preferred rotations, we urge you to submit your registration form as soon as possible, as rotations are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. We strive to accommodate your first rotation preferences to the best of our ability, but you can improve your chances of receiving your preferred choices by submitting your registration form early. We look forward to hosting another successful World Skeet Championships again in 2024!
