About Us

National Skeet Shooting Association

Founded in 1928 and headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, the National Skeet Shooting Association is a non-profit organization owned and operated by its members. With approximately 15,000 members and 700 affiliated member clubs, it is the largest organization in the world dedicated solely to the sport of skeet shooting. Membership is represented by a Board of Directors and an Executive Committee which employs an Executive Director to manage NSSA affairs.

The NSSA is dedicated to the development of the sport at all levels of participation and vows to create an atmosphere of healthy competition and meaningful fellowship within its membership. Shooters who want to compete can enter fun shoots and skeet shooting tournaments. The NSSA also offers the hunter a recreational target shooting sport that will strengthen hunting and gun safety skills and extend “hunting” seasons.

Membership Information

Activities– The NSSA hosts the World Skeet Shooting Championship, World Vintage Skeet Championship, Junior World Skeet Championship and an International World Skeet Championship annually. NSSA clubs host numerous fun shoots for the serious competitor or the casual shooter. You can join the League & Sweepstakes which puts new and experienced shooters on an equal basis to win thousands of dollars in prizes awarded by drawings. All the fun activities let you enjoy shooting while meeting new people and winning prizes!

The People Who Shoot Skeet– Men, women and children of all walks of life who believe in safe gun handling, take pride in shooting well and enjoy skeet shooting with friends and family. Many shooters enjoy competing with themselves and others for prizes, self-satisfaction and self-achievement. At most skeet clubs, you’ll find a wide cross section of wives, husbands, single parents, children and grandparents. Tournaments are divided into many different classes, so shooters will be competing against others of equal ability.

Is Skeet an Expensive Sport? Not necessarily, it depends on your personal objectives. You can have a lifetime of fun and fellowship at a local skeet club in return for a small investment in the shotgun of your choice, safety gear and modest ammunition costs. On the other hand, if shooting in state, regional, national and international tournaments is what you prefer, then, like any sport, the costs can go as high as your ambition and budget will allow.

What if I’ve Never Shot a Gun Before? Membership in a skeet club affiliated with the NSSA offers you the finest and safest means of learning to shoot from scratch. Rigid safety regulations are enforced and certified instructors are available to you.
