Qualification Criteria for Induction for Shooting Achievements

  • The individual must have been an active member of the NSSA for at least 10 years.
  • Exception to the above can be granted for those whose shooting was terminated due to death, terminal illness, or disability.
  • The individual must have been selected at least 6 times to an NSSA All-American Open First or Second Team and won at least one World Championship title; OR
  • Ladies must have been selected at least 6 times to the Ladies First or Second Team or All-American Open First or Second Team and have won at least one Open or Ladies World Championship title.

Meeting these minimum criteria does not guarantee that an individual will be selected. In all, a shooter must have established credentials, that when compared to the standard of his/her era and accomplishments of peers, would be considered outstanding.

Qualification Criteria for Induction for Sustaining Contributions

A Hall of Fame inductee based on Sustaining Contributions is the recipient of the Ray Boller Award. To be selected for this award, an individual must have been an active NSSA member for at least 10 years. Recognition is for significant and sustained contribution and dedication to the sport and NSSA at the National, Zone, and State level. (Shooting accomplishments are not taken into account for this prestigious award.)

The approved criteria and nominating procedure will be published annually in the November issue of Skeet Shooting Review, or found on the NSSA website. Submissions for the Ray Boller Award should be mailed to NSSA headquarters and may be submitted by anyone, using the Ray Boller Award Nomination Form (also available from Headquarters).

The Hall of Fame Committee will retain all Ray Boller Hall of Fame nominations and consider them from year to year. (It is not necessary to resubmit a nomination every year.)
Submissions for Shooting Proficiency are no longer required or requested, as all pertinent information is available to the Hall of Fame Committee in the NSSA archives.
