Arizona State Champ, Brian Anderson, Passes

July 13, 2017 By Sherry Kerr

On June 19 the skeet shooting community lost a great competitor and true ambassador to the shooting sports, Brian S. Anderson. Throughout his life, Brian participated in a number of shooting sports, settling into the game of skeet in 2009. In eight short years, Brian established himself as an accomplished competitor, skeet supporter, as well as a coach in Phoenix, Arizona, and Rockford, Illinois.

If Brian wasn’t in Rockford attending to his automotive business, he could be found in the early morning on the skeet fields with his wife Judy at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility in Phoenix. If asked when he would be at the club next, his answer was, “I only shoot on days that end in Y.” Brian never practiced alone, drawing adult and youth shooters alike, working on his game as well as coaching others, in particular helping with new young competitors. Brian was the “go-to guy” for parents looking for instruction, advice on what gun to buy their son or daughter, sourcing reloading components, and any of the myriad questions shooters new to the sport always have. He always obliged whatever the request and took great pleasure in helping others in a sport that he loved.

All that practice and concentration on the overall game paid off with Brian winning the HOA Arizona State Titles in 2016 and 2017, as well as posting numerous AA/AAA scores at other competitions in Arizona and the World Skeet Championships. In addition to competition, Brian was a Director on the Board of Claybusters of Arizona, the current vice-president of the Arizona Skeet Shooting Association, an active SCTP shotgun coach, and a Level 1 NSSA Certified Instructor.

Always calm and unassuming, Brian made his mark on the sport and so many lives through his actions and the example he lived. Our sport needs people like Brian and although his life and time to participate in this great sport was cut short, he left an example for many to follow, and a legacy of young, accomplished skeet shooters lining up to climb on the winners’ podium.

Don’t Miss the 2017 Krieghoff Masters Skeet Shoot!

April 10, 2017 By Sherry Kerr

Krieghoff Masters logoIf good targets, high-quality competition, and tradition are high on your list of priorities for a great skeet shoot, you can’t do better than the annual Krieghoff Masters Skeet Championship! Set at Forest City Gun Club against the backdrop of one of the South’s most intriguing cities, Savannah, Georgia, the Krieghoff Masters has become an event no one wants to miss and a must for those chasing the best skeet tournaments in the country.

Founded in 1883, Forest City Gun Club lays claim as the oldest and largest continuously operated skeet, trap, and sporting clays club in America. With 537 acres and amenities such as 23 skeet fields, trap fields and sporting clays courses, a 40-acre lake, a grand club house and other structures, Forest City offers much more than just good targets – it offers an experience!

How about turning your trip to the Masters into a “claycation”? See our article in the April 2016 issue of Clay Target Nation on doing just that. We tell you what else to see and do in the Savannah area.

This year’s Krieghoff Masters Skeet Championship will be May 4-7, and there is still room for you! You can find registration information and other details on our website or go to http://bit.ly/K_Masters.

WSSA Loses Skeet Ambassador Hal Huskinson

February 3, 2017 By Sherry Kerr

Hal Huskinson
The post that Hal is standing next to is covered with a few of his skeet shooting participant pins and awards.

On January 24 the NSSA and Washington Skeet Shooting Association (WSSA) lost Hal Huskinson, a great ambassador of our sport.

Hal was a member of the Seattle Skeet and Trap Club for over 50 years. When the club’s lease in Redmond, Washington, expired, Hal was one of the prime movers in the club’s relocation to Ravensdale, a challenging process that took over 10 years to accomplish.

He was one of the best promoters of skeet, responsible for many new shooters in the game. He was a member of the famous Eddie Bauer skeet team, shooting at clubs wherever an Eddie Bauer store was located. Hal was selfless in his support of skeet in Washington State. He shot at about every operating club in Washington.

Hal was a life member of Washington Skeet Shooting Association (WSSA) from its formation in 1967. He was the first WSSA state shoot HOA champion in 1969 and went on to win a total of eight state HOA and gun championships. Hal was on many WSSA first teams and All-Star Teams. In 1981 he was inducted into the WSSA Hall of Fame, and he is also in the Zone 7 Hall of Fame. Hal competed in several NSSA World Championships in Savannah, Rochester, and San Antonio. He participated in many international skeet tournaments. In addition to skeet, Hal enjoyed sporting clays and other shooting sports.

Hal’s history with a rifle began shooting field game with his dad, on into WWII, where he earned two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star.

He leaves behind his wife of 67 years, Dede, as well as his sons Brad (Virginia) and Bruce (Vivian), five grandchildren, nine great grandchildren, and many friends.

Get NSSA Lifetime Targets Validated

December 17, 2016 By Sherry Kerr

NSSA’s Lifetime Target pins are very popular, but we’ve learned that some of you are unclear what is included in “lifetime targets,” as well as how to ensure all your targets have been included in your totals and are reported correctly online and in the records annual.

The types of targets to be included in your Lifetime Targets are:

  • NSSA registered targets
  • Event 6 targets (counted toward NSSA lifetime targets but not recorded on the classification card), e.g., Wayne Mayes Championship at the World Shoot.

All targets shot post-2002 are included within and validated by the NSSA shoot database. All targets shot prior to 2003 can be manually validated by NSSA staff through a physical search of our offline records and past NSSA Records Annuals. A $10.00 fee is charged for this service.

If you registered targets prior to 2003 and have not already done so, you can complete the Lifetime Targets Pins form to ensure all your targets have been validated. Our staff will research and validate your targets for inclusion in your Lifetime Targets number.
