Definition
The CPSA stands for the Clay Pigeon Shooting Association, which is the national governing body for clay target shooting sports in England. It oversees rules, safety standards, and the organization of competitions across disciplines like trap, skeet, and sporting clays.
Further Explanations
Founded in 1928, the CPSA plays a critical role in promoting and regulating clay pigeon shooting. Its main responsibilities include:
-
Setting Rules & Standards: Ensuring consistent competition regulations.
-
Training & Certification: Offering courses for coaches, referees, and safety officers.
-
Membership Services: Providing insurance, resources, and event access for members.
-
Competitions: Sanctioning local, national, and international events in multiple disciplines.
The CPSA works in partnership with international bodies such as FITASC and ISSF to align English shooting sports with global standards.
While the CPSA governs formal competitions in England, Nordic Clays empowers shooters everywhere to practice safely and sustainably. Using our clay pigeon thrower and biodegradable clay pigeons, shooters can train for CPSA-style disciplines anywhere, while reducing their environmental impact.
