NSCA

Definition

NSCA stands for the National Sporting Clays Association, the official governing body for the sport of sporting clays in the United States. It sets the rules, organizes national competitions, certifies instructors, and maintains shooter classifications for fair and standardized competition.

 

Further Explanations

Founded in 1989, the NSCA (National Sporting Clays Association) is a division of the National Skeet Shooting Association (NSSA). The organization promotes and supports the growth of sporting clays through a structured competition format, education, safety programs, and club affiliations.

Core responsibilities of the NSCA include:

  • Hosting regional and national championships

  • Certifying shooting instructors and referees

  • Maintaining an official classification system

  • Providing shooter rankings and event tracking

  • Promoting safety, sportsmanship, and skill development

NSCA events are known for their variety, with targets thrown in natural outdoor settings to simulate real hunting scenarios, often making use of both manual and automatic launchers.

Nordic Clays shares the NSCA’s commitment to innovation, safety, and high-performance gear. Our clay pigeon throwers and biodegradable clay pigeons are built to meet the expectations of shooters at any level, whether you are training for your first NSCA event or just enjoying recreational practice.
