NSC Is Without Power Today

October 26, 2025 By Sherry Kerr

Staff of the National Shooting Complex and NSSA-NSCA Headquarters will be unavailable by phone and email today, Wednesday, October 29. Our power is off today, so we will not have working phone or internet service. A transformer is being replaced today on the main road to the complex, necessitating the power outage. If power is restored before the end of the day, our staff will be available again. We will reopen as usual on Thursday, October 30. We apologize for any inconvenience.

This Month In Clay Target Nation

September 25, 2025 By hdyer

The October 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 that learning how to shoot skeet isn’t just about improving your game — it’ll also help you become a better person along the way. Meanwhile, Anthony Matarese Jr. shares a personal anecdote about being disappointed with his performance and talks shooters through how to deal with not meeting their own expectations.

Competition season is in full swing heading into big year-end events, and this issue has coverage of the NSSA Zone Shoots, the PA State Skeet Championship, the Junior World Skeet Championships and the NSCA North Central Regional.

In our “From the Archives” article celebrating CTN’s 10th anniversary, we are rerunning an article from 2026 discussing a question that shooter and instructor Gary Walstrom says is important to understand: What time tense do you shoot in? We also have a review of the new Fabarm Infinite RS side-by-side, an interesting opinion on whether sporting clays is an art or a science, and a cool look at some of the AI and virtual reality options for training skeet and sporting clays at home using new technology.

First-Timer’s Guide to the World Skeet Championships

September 23, 2025 By Sherry Kerr

The World Skeet Championships are the premier annual event in American Skeet, and a trip to the World Shoot is a bucket-list item for almost everyone who participates in the sport. We want you to enjoy every minute of it and get the most from your trip to the National Shooting Complex, so we’ve prepared a guide answering many of the most commonly asked questions from first-timers at the World Shoot.

Among the topics covered are what to do first when you arrive at the National Shooting Complex, which options are a good idea for a first-timer, ammunition, gun storage, on-site transportation and parking, bringing family as spectators, when and where to practice, where to see scores, and much more. You can see the guide here.

World Shoot Ladies Clinic Seeking Instructors

August 25, 2025 By Sherry Kerr

NSSA is recruiting experienced lady skeet shooters to serve as instructors for our third annual Ladies Skeet Clinic at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio, timed to coincide with the Mini and World Shoot. “Your expertise and passion for skeet shooting would make a real impact on our event,” says event coordinator Hannah Goddard, “and we would be honored to have you with us. Special thanks to those of you who taught last year — your efforts were key to the clinic’s success.”

Last year, 21 women and girls attended the clinic to learn the basics of shotgun shooting and skeet in a supportive, all-female setting. The excitement was clear as they hit their first skeet targets or mastered tough shots, guided by our dedicated instructors.

This year, we’re expanding the Ladies Skeet Clinic with an additional session on Thursday, September 25, to complement our main event on Friday, September 26, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The Thursday session will be smaller, handling overflow from Friday’s clinic to maintain an ideal instructor-to-student ratio. The Friday session is timed to conclude before the Mini begins that afternoon.

The clinic begins with a brief classroom session covering introductions, safety, and foundational knowledge, followed by the best part, hands-on time at the fields. The NSSA provides lunch and a memorable group photo to cap off the experience.

This opportunity is not limited to NSSA Certified Instructors; experienced, passionate shooters are also welcomed. “Just bring your enthusiasm and a willingness to share your knowledge and love for skeet shooting!” said Goddard. “We welcome anyone with a passion for the sport and a desire to inspire other women.”

If you’re interested in lending your expertise, contact Hannah Goddard at 703-946-7644 or hnnhgoddard@gmail.com for more details or to volunteer.
