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!

World Shoot Ladies Clinic Seeking Instructors

August 25, 2025 By Sherry Kerr Leave a Comment

NSSA is recruiting experienced lady skeet shooters to serve as instructors for our third annual Ladies Skeet Clinic at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio, timed to coincide with the Mini and World Shoot. “Your expertise and passion for skeet shooting would make a real impact on our event,” says event coordinator Hannah Goddard, “and we would be honored to have you with us. Special thanks to those of you who taught last year — your efforts were key to the clinic’s success.”

Last year, 21 women and girls attended the clinic to learn the basics of shotgun shooting and skeet in a supportive, all-female setting. The excitement was clear as they hit their first skeet targets or mastered tough shots, guided by our dedicated instructors.

This year, we’re expanding the Ladies Skeet Clinic with an additional session on Thursday, September 25, to complement our main event on Friday, September 26, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The Thursday session will be smaller, handling overflow from Friday’s clinic to maintain an ideal instructor-to-student ratio. The Friday session is timed to conclude before the Mini begins that afternoon.

The clinic begins with a brief classroom session covering introductions, safety, and foundational knowledge, followed by the best part, hands-on time at the fields. The NSSA provides lunch and a memorable group photo to cap off the experience.

This opportunity is not limited to NSSA Certified Instructors; experienced, passionate shooters are also welcomed. “Just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to share your knowledge and love for skeet shooting!” said Goddard. “We welcome anyone with a passion for the sport and a desire to inspire other women.”

If you’re interested in lending your expertise, contact Hannah Goddard at 703-946-7644 or hnnhgoddard@gmail.com for more details or to volunteer.

August Is National Shooting Sports Month

July 31, 2025 By Sherry Kerr

NSSF, the firearm industry trade association, invites everyone to celebrate the shooting sports during the 2025 National Shooting Sports Month this August. Whether you’re an experienced marksman, a first-time gun owner or someone simply curious about the shooting sports, there’s no better time to get involved, improve your skills and introduce someone new to the range.

Now in its eighth year, National Shooting Sports Month encourages all Americans to experience the excitement of target shooting while promoting safe and responsible firearm use. Ranges, retailers, manufacturers and industry partners across the country are joining forces to host special events, training sessions and promotions throughout the month.

“National Shooting Sports Month is a time to recognize and celebrate the values that define the shooting sports — safety, responsibility, skill development and community,” said Joe Bartozzi, President and CEO of NSSF. “Whether you’re welcoming a newcomer to the range or honing your own abilities, this month serves as a nationwide call to participate, mentor and support one of America’s longstanding recreational traditions.”

Ways to Get Involved

1. Visit a Range

Head to your favorite range, retailer or club and ask how you can participate this month. Many offer special events, training sessions, competitions or discounts in August. Your support helps keep these community resources thriving. Find an event near you. First-time shooters should know that ranges welcome newcomers and will provide supervised, supportive, safe introductions to recreational shooting.

Don’t have a go-to shooting spot yet? No problem. Use our NSSA Club Search or NSCA Club Search feature or NSSF’s Find a Range tool to discover nearby ranges, clubs and events.

2. Bring Someone New

There’s no better time to introduce someone new to the shooting sports. Whether it’s a neighbor, coworker or family member, invite them to join you at the range and help them feel confident and welcome. Just one invitation can lead to a lifetime of enjoyment. Check out the +ONE Movement to see how others are mentoring new shooters.

3. Download Free Targets

Try something new at the range with NSSF’s collection of free, printable targets. From classic bullseye to fun challenges, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Download targets here.

4. Celebrate on Social Media

Share your range day photos and stories using #LetsGoShooting and #PlusOneMovement to inspire others and show your support for the shooting sports community. Stay connected by following our social pages on Facebook and Instagram.

5. Host or Attend an Event

Firearm ranges and retailers are offering exciting promotions, events, safety seminars and introductory courses. Find a local event or list your own at ShootingSportsMonth.org.
