This Month In Clay Target Nation

May 27, 2026 By hdyer

The June issue of Clay Target Nation is packed full of tips and tactics that will help you find more success and have more fun on the sporting clays course or the skeet field this season. Plus, we’ve got coverage of some of the spring’s biggest events.

In our Training Tips columns, you’ll find some helpful insight from Paul Giambrone III on what it should look like when a squad takes to the skeet field, while Bill Elliott offers some tips on how to train for sporting clays on the trap field when you can’t get all the way out to a sporting course.

The skeet season has kicked off, and the biggest event of the spring, the Triple J Classic, gets full coverage in this issue. On the sporting clays side, American shooter Braxton Oliver’s big win on the world stage is celebrated in our World English Sporting Clays Championship coverage.

When it comes to advice and helpful tips, we have plenty of reading for you. Victoria Stellato advises skeet shooters on how to reach their goals, while Todd Bender offers eight signs that you might need an instructor. Clayton Rue has some tips for sporting clays shooters who are struggling with targets that aren’t thrown in a straight line in his “Nonlinear Algebra” article. If you’re thinking of hosting a charity shoot at your club, you’ll appreciate our article from someone who has been there and done that (successfully), and don’t miss Haylyn Hanks’ article on eye health. Finally, we asked three skeet champions about the guns they used to win a world championship, and you’ll appreciate the answers from Houston Deshotels, Melissa Hinton and Kevin Monteleone.

Scam Emails Being Sent With NSSA-NSCA Name and Logos

March 31, 2026 By Sherry Kerr

We have been made aware of scam emails being sent showing the NSSA-NSCA name and with our logos, purporting to be information verifications. What we have seen shows a FINAL WARNING heading and provides contact information to be verified.

This email is not from us, but instead appears to be a phishing email that may contain harmful links. If you receive such an email, or any email that does not appear to be authentic, DO NOT CLICK on any buttons or links in the email. Instead, report it as spam in your email platform and delete it without clicking any links.

We do not verify contact information by sending it to you in this manner. Instead, we require clubs and members to login to a secure site to review and update your information, as needed. Any email from us will be sent from an address including @nssa-nsca.com. If you ever receive an email you are unsure is from us, check the return address first; if you still aren’t sure, you are welcome to contact us at nssa@nssa-nsca.com or nsca@nssa-nsca.com, 210-688-3371, to verify BEFORE you click on a link.

We regret any inconvenience and hope this has not affected you.

Shooting for Rewards Program Being Phased Out

January 28, 2026 By Sherry Kerr

Shooting for RewardsThe Shooting for Rewards program, which rewards members with points for shooting registered targets and offers a catalog of items the points can be spent on, is being phased out over the next two years. The program will end and the store will close on January 1, 2028. All unused points will expire on that date.

In the meantime, points can be earned and spent until the program ends. The five-year points expiration timeline remains in place.

Items will be removed from the store as inventory is exhausted. High-inventory items will be offered at discounted point pricing and will be announced as that happens. During the last three months of the program in 2027, everything remaining will go on sale with deep discounts.

You can find your points on your My Home Page. Go to the Members tab, and you’ll find My Home Page at the top of the dropdown menu. In addition to seeing the number of points you have available, there is a Spend Points button that takes you to the catalog.

A Bold New Look for the NSSA and NSCA

January 10, 2026 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!
