Final Shots: Jim Tiner

November 25, 2025 By Sherry Kerr

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jim Tiner, Chief Warrant Officer Five (Ret.), United States Army. Jim was a native Texan, a Vietnam veteran, a patriot through and through, and a stalwart leader within the National Skeet Shooting Association and the North Carolina Skeet Association. He passed away on November 24.

Born in 1947, Jim lived a life defined by service, integrity, and devotion to his country, to his family, and to the sport and community he cherished. His decades of military service reflected extraordinary professionalism and courage. As a Vietnam veteran, he embodied the values of sacrifice and commitment that shaped his life and inspired all who knew him.

Within the NSSA, across Zone 4, and throughout the North Carolina Skeet Association, Jim was a respected and steady presence. His leadership, mentorship, and genuine care for shooters of every age and experience level strengthened the sport and enriched countless lives. His influence and contributions, both visible and behind the scenes, will endure for generations. Jim served several terms as an NSSA Director and Executive Committee member, and in 2023, he was inducted into the NSSA Hall of Fame as the recipient of the Ray Boller Award for extraordinary service to NSSA and the sport of skeet.

Our hearts are heavy today, but we take comfort knowing that Jim is in a better place.

Jim is survived by his wife and partner Belinda, whose steadfast devotion to Jim, especially through difficult and trying times, has been an extraordinary example of grace, compassion, and unwavering love, caring for Jim with dignity and strength.

On behalf of the entire skeet community and the many lives Jim touched, we honor his memory and celebrate a life exceptionally well lived. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

September 23, 2025 By Sherry Kerr

The World Skeet Championships are the premier annual event in American Skeet, and a trip to the World Shoot is a bucket-list item for almost everyone who participates in the sport. We want you to enjoy every minute of it and get the most from your trip to the National Shooting Complex, so we’ve prepared a guide answering many of the most commonly asked questions from first-timers at the World Shoot.

Among the topics covered are what to do first when you arrive at the National Shooting Complex, which options are a good idea for a first-timer, ammunition, gun storage, on-site transportation and parking, bringing family as spectators, when and where to practice, where to see scores, and much more. You can see the guide here.

A Bold New Look for the NSSA and NSCA

August 27, 2025 By Sherry Kerr

Exciting changes are on the horizon for the NSSA and NSCA!

After months of collaboration with a leading sports marketing agency, a cross-organizational team is proud to unveil a bold new visual identity for both organizations — including striking new logos and an upgraded digital experience that reintroduces the thrill of clay target sports to the world.

The revamped website user experience is designed to welcome newcomers who are curious about the games and eager to get involved, while still delivering the stats, standings, and resources members rely on. It’s a bridge between tradition and tomorrow—built for both first-time visitors and lifelong shooters.

While the full website experience rolls out in the coming months, today we’re thrilled to reveal our new logos — the first wave of transformation you’ll begin seeing across social media.

In 2026, this fresh branding will extend to official apparel, achievement patches and certificates, and signage across the National Headquarters and National Shooting Complex.

Why This Matters

It’s been decades since our logos have been refreshed. These new designs are more than just modern — they’re meaningful. They honor our history while reflecting the energy and momentum of today’s clay target community. For current members, they represent a bold new flag to fly. For future members, they signal that something dynamic is happening here — and they’re invited.

The Story Behind the NSSA Logo

Twin Houses, Timeless Challenge: The iconic high and low house targets immediately connect us to the skeet fields we know and love. The motion trails bring the clays to life, highlighting the speed, skill, and split-second decisions that define the sport.

10 Stars, One Community: Representing the 9 zones and member countries, plus headquarters in San Antonio, Texas — this is a symbol of our unified global family.

Red, White and Blue: Proudly echoing the colors of the American flag, our palette reflects both heritage and patriotism.

Four Gauges, Four Stripes: The varying-weight stripes salute the 12, 20, 28, and .410 gauges — each with its own legacy and challenge in the sport of skeet.

Custom “Clay Pigeon” Font: A font that’s all our own was designed to highlight the speed associated with our sports and the personality of our brand.

The Story Behind the NSCA Logo

Incoming Clay, Instant Reaction: The centerpiece is a fast-incoming target—symbolizing both the thrill of the sport and the focus it demands.

5 Stars, 5 Regions: Each star represents one of the five NSCA regions across the U.S.

Red, White and Blue: The national colors connect us to our roots, our country, and the pride we carry into competition.

Four Tails, Four Gauges: The trailing motion arcs represent 12, 20, 28, and .410—capturing their diversity and dynamism in every shot.

Custom “Clay Pigeon” Font: Designed to reflect the motion, speed, and dynamism of our sport, the logo’s distinct font helps our brand stand out.

 
This new identity marks a thrilling next chapter for both organizations — an invitation to grow, evolve, and welcome the next generation of shooters. We’re proud of where we’ve been, and even more excited about where we’re going.

Join us in celebrating the future of clay target sports. It’s time to aim higher!
