COVID-19 Protocols for World Skeet Championships

August 29, 2020 By Sherry Kerr

The NSSA and National Shooting Complex will implement a comprehensive list of COVID-19 protocols to reduce risks and prioritize the safety of our 2020 World Skeet Championships participants, guests, vendors, and NSC staff. Below are the protocols we will follow:

  • Parking passes will be required in an effort to prevent non-shooters from driving around the complex.
  • We will check the temperature of shooters going into Registration. 
  • All shooters will receive a face mask and a small bottle of hand sanitizer in their goodie bag.
  • Squads will be asked to maintain social distancing in the field, i.e., 6 feet between shooters waiting their turn to shoot. 
  • Voice-release wands will not be used, allowing for social distancing between shooters and the referee.
  • We will minimize the number of workers and shooters inside Registration at one time.
  • Plexiglass barriers will be used in Registration, the Pro Shop, and Ammo Building to protect the shooters and staff. 
  • Tables and chairs at the Club House and patio are spread out to facilitate social distancing.
  • Masks are required at all times inside any building and in all other areas where social distancing cannot be maintained.
  • We will take the temperature of referees and loaders every morning prior to shooting.
  • There will be no communal water jugs or coolers provided on the field. Instead, staff members will distribute bottles of water on the fields prior to each flight. 
  • To discourage congregation of shooters, there will not be a printed scoreboard. Shooters will need to look online to see the scores or at TVs spaced out outside Registration and at the Club House. 
  • There will be an EMT onsite during all shooting flights. They will be available to take the temperature of anyone who needs it and help as needed for medical issues. 
  • To discourage on-site shopping, we will encourage participants to pre-order event merchandise for pick-up during registration and will have very limited quantities of merchandise for sale at the event. 
  • We will not host social events, i.e., the Hall of Fame Banquet, that do not allow for social distancing.

No Change of Plans in Recognition Programs

August 26, 2020 By Sherry Kerr

At this time, the NSSA is continuing as planned with our 2021 Krieghoff All-American Teams, Class All-American Teams, High Average Leaders, Honor Squad, SCTP All-Americans, and Clubs of the Year as reflected in the current target minimums and the associated teams and club criteria.

NSSA will continue our bimonthly All-American points processing. The All-American, Rules, and Executive Committees will continue their collaboration and monitor the effects of the COVID-19 crisis and the impact to our members and clubs as they strive to make the best decisions for the association. We will communicate any changes via your Zone Committeemen, Directors, and the NSSA website as the shooting season progresses.

COVID-19 Update: Postponed or Canceled Events

July 27, 2020 By Sherry Kerr

With concerns about the spread of COVID-19, many shooters and member clubs are making decisions about continuing with planned events. Because our member clubs and their events are throughout the U.S. and beyond, where circumstances vary greatly, each club will make its own decision about any changes in plans. We urge our member clubs and individual members to heed the advice of medical experts and advisories/requirements of their local and state governments regarding hosting and attending events. Please contact clubs directly for any questions about specific events. As we learn about canceled or postponed events, we will add them to the list below, post on our social media pages, and announce in Target Talk.

If an event does not appear below, we have not been notified of cancellation or postponement.

Clubs: If you are cancelling or postponing an event, please notify Sherry Kerr, skerr@nssa-nsca.com, to be included on this list.

Final Shots: George Kenneth “Pappy” Beavers

July 23, 2020 By Sherry Kerr

George Kenneth Beavers, known in the skeet world as GK Beavers or Pappy, passed away on May 28, 2020. Born in 1931, he served in the Army 45th Infantry and was a Korean Veteran, where he was awarded the Army Occupation Medal in Japan, the Korean Service Medal, the United Nations Service Medal and Combat Infantry Badge. George retired from Tinker Air Force Base civil service in 1989.

Pappy’s favorite activity was skeet shooting. He started the sport in 1966 and made numerous friends and memories throughout his career, winning several awards and trophies, as well as volunteering as a shoot manager, referee, or whatever capacity he was needed to fill. He shot 215,750 lifetime targets, attended 23 World Skeet Championships, and was an active NSSA member for 49 years.

He was a longtime member of the Tinker Gun Club, Ada Gun Club and OKC Gun Club. He was inducted into the OSSA Hall of Fame in 1986. He and his wife Betty traveled nationwide for skeet shoots and made lifelong friends along the way. He never knew a stranger and was liked and loved by everyone. NSSA extends its condolences to Pappy’s many friends and family.

Donations in his memory can be made to the Lupus Foundation of America, 2121 K Street NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20037.

NSSA-NSCA IT Project Update

June 16, 2020 By Sherry Kerr

NSSA-NSCA is currently undertaking a modernization of our IT and software infrastructure to improve communication, services, and data management of our 48,000 members and 600-plus clubs.

The first phase, replacing our 20-year-old database system, started in 2018 and is due to complete in early 2021. The new system allows us to integrate our member services into an online suite of applications that will provide a quicker and simpler way for you to securely interact with Headquarters, clubs, and shoot management.

Our vision for members and member clubs is to use this new application, via secure online access, to view and/or update information for member demographics, shoot registration, annual points competitions, shoot results, shoot searches, and overall records archive.

Your primary online point of access will be through your new member/club portal. You will login to your portal from the NSSA-NSCA website. Once logged in, you will have access to a plethora of information about yourself and NSSA-NSCA. One of the actions we will need you all to undertake when we go live will be to login and validate your personal information.

To have full access to your member information, each member must use an individual email address. An email address can only be registered to one member. If multiple members of your family or shooting squad have previously used one email address, please take a moment to update your contact information at one of these links:

      NSSA Members Update

      NSCA Members Update

As we progress through this multi-phased project, we will post updates to Clay Target Nation, Target Talk, our website, and emails to members with additional information as we prepare to launch our new system. Meanwhile, please stay safe and shoot safe.
