In our “From the Archives” article celebrating CTN’s 10th anniversary, Tom Roster warns shooters that lead distance tables aren’t accurate enough to rely on. Anthony Matarese Jr. has a feature that will give you some insight on when it’s time to change up your game, and Victoria Stellato offers tips on achieving your peak performance.

Clay Target Nation is available monthly to all members in digital and/or print form. Not a member? You can receive the next issue when you join at http://nssa-nsca.org/join-nssa-nsca/.
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.
