"How do I join with a Complimentary Limited Membership?" First, here's what NOT to do: DON'T complete a form and send it in yourself. If you've never previously been a member, a Complimentary Limited Membership allows you to compete in registered tournaments during the current year. When you go to your first registered skeet or sporting clays shoot, the club will complete a CLM form and submit it with their shoot report. That's the only way a CLM form is accepted: when it is submitted by the club with a shoot report. The CLM is effective from the time you sign up at your first … [Read more...]
Question of the Week: Lost Membership Card
"I lost my membership card. While I'm waiting for a new one, can the club verify my membership online?" Yes. Clubs can verify membership and classification information through the Member Look-up feature. The Member Look-up feature will list whether a member is current or expired, list classification by gauge, and show shoot histories as well. Note: NSCA has a comparable page at NSCA Member Look-up.

Downhill Targets
Downhill Targets I’m having trouble hitting targets that are going downhill, below the level of the shooting station (or most any target below the level of the shooting station).

When a target is below your … [Read more...]
Ask the Instructor: Mounts
Mounts In observing the top guns shoot, I noticed most of them mount the gun to the kill point, then wind back to the hold point and call for the target. Why do they use this pre-shot routine, which seems like it draws attention to the gun? This is an interesting observation. Yes, many top shooters mount to the break point during their pre-shot routine, but it is not for the reasons you might imagine. Many students at the novice to intermediate level pre-mount as part of their pre-shot routine in order to visually “check” the alignment of their shooting eye over the rib. … [Read more...]
Question of the Week: Accidental Account Creation
"After my membership lapsed, I accidentally had a new member number set up when I rejoined because I used a shortened version of my name. I previously used my formal name. Can I have those two accounts consolidated under one name so all my records will be correct?" Yes, if you will contact NSSA-NSCA headquarters at 210-688-3371, a member of our staff will help you. Please have both member numbers available so we can locate the member records and consolidate them. We urge renewing members to be careful to use the same name each time so your records will be accurate, and if at all … [Read more...]
