This Month In Clay Target Nation

By

The May issue of Clay Target Nation is full of hard-hitting tips and tactics to help you improve your shooting and have more fun.

In our Training Tips columns, John Shima humorously and astutely compares skeet shooting to the movie “50 First Dates,” while the team at OSP Shooting School reminds shooters that the longer they put off proper, deliberate practice, the more they’ll struggle.

This year, we’re celebrating CTN’s 10th anniversary by bringing you one article each issue from our 2016 archives, and in May, that’s a feature about gun damage — how to check for it and how to prevent it in the first place. We also take a look at sporting clays’ most popular side games and relive some truth-is-stranger-than-fiction stories from skeet’s past, courtesy of Robert Paxton. Dr. Richard Colo goes through some of the myths and mysteries regarding sports vision, and finally, don’t miss our interviews with Lauren Burge, Billy D. Williams and Rachel Barringer about how they prep for a big tournament.

NSSA-NSCA Announces Lockton Affinity As Additional Insurance Provider

By

NSSA-NSCA is pleased to announce its offering of a second insurance option to its members, member clubs, and instructors, enhancing one of its most valuable member benefits. In addition to its longtime affiliation with Sportsman’s Insurance Company, Inc. to offer discounted insurance plans for guns, clubs, and instructors, NSSA-NSCA announces a new partnership with Lockton Affinity Outdoor to provide additional options to its members and member clubs.

“Gun insurance is very important to our members who need to protect their investment in equipment, and our clubs and instructors require liability insurance,” said Michael Hampton Jr., NSSA-NSCA Executive Director. “Every member, club, and instructor’s circumstances are different, so adding this new partnership gives them the opportunity to compare plans to find what works best for them.”

For more than 24 years, Lockton Affinity Outdoor has been administering an insurance program specifically designed to gun clubs, firearm instructors and individual firearm collections. “We are excited to be partnering with NSSA-NSCA,” said Jeff Hewitt, SVP and Program Executive of Lockton Affinity Outdoor. “At Lockton Affinity Outdoor, our goal has long been to bring a consistent and long-term insurance solution to gun clubs and instructors and protection for individually owned firearm collections.”

The new partnership is effective immediately, and U.S.-based NSSA-NSCA members can visit www.locktonaffinityoutdoor.com/nssa-nsca/ to learn more and request a quote for coverage. Insurance coverage is not available to international members.

We are pleased to report that Sportsman’s Insurance Agency, Inc. (SIAI) has notified NSSA-NSCA of an update regarding the gun, gun club and instructor coverages they offer to our members and member clubs.

If your policy expires on a future date, your coverage will remain in force until the expiration date listed on your Certificate of Coverage. SIAI will contact you for renewal of your coverage at that time.

Please contact SIAI at 386-677-2588 with any questions regarding your existing or lapsed coverage.
