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!

This Month In Clay Target Nation

August 25, 2025 By hdyer

The September issue of Clay Target Nation is packed with event coverage as well as tips and advice from our experts.

In our Training Tips columns, John Shima reminds shooters to accept their skills where they are while striving for improvement, and Gil Ash explains that some target presentations really are better shot with an unmounted gun.

Sporting clays’ two big international events, the World FITASC and World English Sporting Clays Championship, are both covered in this issue, and you can read all about how the USA Sporting Clays Team fared against the rest of the world. We also have coverage of the Kolar Mid-America.

In our “From the Archives” article celebrating CTN’s 10th anniversary, we are rerunning an article from 2026 discussing a question that’s still being asked today: “Are sporting targets getting too hard?” On the skeet side, Paul Giambrone III has some advice for anyone who is struggling to close out that elusive 100 straight, and we take a deep dive into the guns used by top shooters Billy D. Williams, Sheaffer Stanfill and reigning HOA World Champion John Barnes. Finally, don’t miss Phil Bourjaily’s review of the Beretta 688.

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.

Make August Your Target

Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or brand new to the shooting sports, National Shooting Sports Month is your opportunity to be part of something bigger. Visit LetsGoShooting.org to discover tips, safety resources and how you can take part in this nationwide celebration.

Scammers Offering Fake NSSA-NSCA Lists

July 23, 2025 By Sherry Kerr

We’ve heard from some of our members and member clubs who have received unsolicited emails offering the NSSA-NSCA membership lists for sale.

These offers are scams. No one has our membership lists, and they are NEVER for sale. We protect our members’ contact information and do not share, sell, trade, or otherwise distribute it, even with our sponsors or industry partners.

If you receive one of these scam emails, you are welcome to forward it to us at nssa@nssa-nsca.com or nsca@nssa-nsca.com. Please report the email as spam and don’t click on any links it contains.

Be assured that we do everything possible to keep your contact information safe, and any scammer who says they have our list actually does not. Any lists they may provide to unwitting buyers will not be our member lists.
