February 4, 2022 By hdyer 2 Comments

If you’re headed to the duPont/Krieghoff – Krieghoff – White Flyer Masters this spring — and even if you’re not — you don’t want to miss your chance to participate in a special raffle sponsored by Forest City Gun Club.

The Masters, held April 28 – May 1, 2022, at Forest City in Savannah, Georgia, is always a highlight of the skeet season for many shooters. The winner of this raffle will have their choice of a standard-grade K-80 with a maximum value of $12,895 (see gun details in the graphic).

Three hundred tickets are available, and each ticket costs $100. The winner will be drawn at the 2022 duPont/Krieghoff – Krieghoff – White Flyer Masters.

You do not have to attend the Masters in order to purchase a ticket, and you do not have to be present to win. To purchase tickets, call Forest City Gun Club at (912) 354-0210 or call the NSSA at (210) 688-3371 ext. 962.

REGISTERING 2022 SHOOTS

Download and complete the Registered Shoot Application Form and send it to your State/Provincial Association for shoot date approval. Your State/Provincial Association will forward the shoot application form to headquarters when approved.

Updated Ammunition Policy for World Shoot

August 26, 2021 By Sherry Kerr

The National Shooting Complex has updated its ammunition policy for the upcoming World Skeet Championships to address availability issues:

We have been working diligently with all of our ammunition sponsors to secure as much ammunition as possible for the World Skeet Championships. Despite our efforts to ensure that we have enough ammunition on hand, we unfortunately WILL NOT have enough on site for everyone to purchase for everything they are planning to participate in. We have a great deal of ammunition on hand, but knowing the demand will be higher this year, we want to ensure there isn’t a shortage.

Based on this information, we strongly advise bringing your own ammunition, especially sub-gauge loads, to the event. Bringing your own is the only way to guarantee you will have ammunition to shoot.

This does not mean you cannot attend if you cannot bring your own ammo. Our request for participants to bring ammunition is to ensure that EVERY shooter is able to shoot EVERY event they want.

Many shooters already possess or have local access to all the ammunition they need for the World Shoot and the rest of their shooting year, and many shooters drive to the National Shooting Complex, making it easy for them to bring ammunition with them. If that applies to you, we encourage you to consider bringing yours to allow those who do not have and cannot acquire it locally, international shooters who cannot bring or ship theirs, and those for whom shipping is cost-prohibitive to purchase what they need at the event.

Sub-gauge loads are our primary concern, especially 20-gauge. As a reminder, reloads are allowed for all events.

If you must purchase ammunition at the event, please be aware that you will only be allowed to purchase enough to cover your competition events. Verification of event entry will be required to purchase ammunition. No practice ammunition will be sold at the event.

For participants flying to the World Skeet Championships, we advise shipping your ammunition. UPS guidelines for shipping can be viewed at UPS Guidelines (Scroll down for Shipping Ammunition). Ammunition should be sent to the participant’s name and reference the event. The mailing address is 5931 Roft Road, San Antonio, TX 78253.

Again, we are not requiring every shooter to bring ammunition to the National Championship. If you are one of the fortunate shooters to have adequate supplies and a means of transporting it to the NSC, we are asking you to help us ensure that EVERY shooter has access to what they need.

We understand this is an inconvenience and apologize in advance.

With 785 shooters in the HOA, the 2021 Kolar U.S. Open iShoot was a success by all accounts. Held simultaneously at 15 different clubs across multiple states and time zones, the event saw terrific attendance and stiff competition. Stuart Brown, shooting at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, broke 399×400 to win HOA outright.

Enjoy this series of photos from various clubs. If you have photos from a club that’s not represented here, you can email them to hdyer@nssa-nsca.com, and we’ll be happy to add to our photo gallery.
