This Month In Clay Target Nation

By

The May issue of Clay Target Nation is packed full of tips and tactics that will help you find more success and have more fun on the sporting clays course or the skeet field this season.

In our Training Tips columns, Todd Bender offers up some keys to proper training, while Clayton Rue emphasizes the importance of starting every shot with a level foundation — literally.

The sporting clays season has kicked off, and we’ve got all the details on the Western Regional. Don’t miss Dr. Richard Colo’s advice on how to buy shooting glasses and Paul Giambrone III’s tips on managing your emotions on the field. John Shima digs into the ways your skeet journey might change over the years, while Gil, Vicki and Brian Ash explain how your perceptions change over time as it applies to your gun mount and how you see (and perceive) the muzzle ahead of the target. Finally, take some strength training advice that will benefit your game from an avid shooter and strength coach of the World’s Strongest Man (three times!).

NSSA Director Election Starts May 4

By Leave a Comment

Nominations are now closed for NSSA Directors for the 2027-2028 term, and ballots will be distributed on Monday, May 4 for voting by May 31. Below are the final candidates who submitted nomination requirements by the April 23 deadline. If you state does not have candidates, your state/province/military branch still needs your vote as a write-in. Even if your ballot does have adequate candidates to fill all available positions, you are still able to write in a vote for any reason.

NSSA Director Candidates

Candidates were invited to provide biographical information to help voters make informed choices. You can view the candidate bios here. The bios are sorted by state/province. If a candidate is not included, it is because they did not provide the information.

You are an eligible voting member if you meet the following requirements:

  • NSSA member (not an NSCA member shooting NSSA targets)
  • Paid member (not a complimentary member)
  • Membership is current for 2026 or you are a life member
  • Voting in the same state/province/country or in the same military branch as the ballot you are voting on

Members with military credentials on file with NSSA may vote either in their military branch OR in their state of residence — not both.

Ballots are being emailed to all qualified members with an email address on file; if you do not receive the email, you may request a link to your ballot by contacting nssa@nssa-nsca.com or NSSAElection@nssa-nsca.com. Please provide your name, member number, and state/province/country so your membership information can be verified.
