Welcome from the CSCA!

Our charter is the promotion and encouragement of organized, competitive Sporting Clays shooting within the state of California. To this end, we seek to increase the knowledge of the safe handling and proper care of firearms as well as improved shotgun marksmanship education and to develop amongst shooters the characteristics of honesty, fellowship, self-discipline, team play and self-reliance, which are the essentials of good sportsmanship.

All California (resident) individual and club members in good standing with the National Sporting Clays Association are automatically members of the California Sporting Clays Association. The CSCA assists member clubs throughout the state by coordinating event schedules, providing a liaison with the NSCA staff, and representing California sporting clays sports men and women at the national level. California currently has approximately 1160 CSCA/NSCA members, making it the third largest state membership (2009), who shoot over 500,000 registered targets each year. We have 13 NSCA registered clubs, 9 of which host registered NSCA competitive shoots throughout the year.

1-30-10 NSCA AC Rules Committee Agenda

Some of the recurring and a few new rule change proposals are on the table for the Rules Committee at next week's Advisory Council meeting in San Antonio. Before a rule change proposal becomes effective, it has to (a) clear the Rules Committee with a majority vote, (b) clear the full Advisory Council with a majority vote, and (c) clear the full vote of the National Delegates with a majority vote. If you have opinions on these issues, be sure you make them known! See the detail here.

1-21-10 Free NSCA Membership!

Ever wonder what it would be like to go to an NSCA registered tournament and compete in your class? Ever think about how fast you might be able to rise through the classes and become a Master Class shooter? Almost everyone has, but sometimes that extra effort it takes to become an NSCA member seems elusive. If you have never been an NSCA or NSSA member, now you can take advantage of an NSCA program that allows you to join for no cost. There are some limitations: you only get quarterly copies of Sporting Clays Magazine, and you cannot vote in NSCA or CSCA elections, but you can shoot registered targets for the entire calendar year you join. Now is a great time to do it! (see more)

1-20-10 - CA State Championship History Search

The CSCA is trying to locate shoot records for the California State Championship for the years 1990 - 2000. NSCA has provided some data for this period from shooter records but this is without detail such as tie breaker results and concurrent winners. We would appreciate hearing from anyone having printed results from old Sporting Clays magazines, mailings, etc. Contact us here.
