NSSF Launches New Educational Series to Encourage Shotgun Sports Participation

Posted By TGM_Staff On Thursday, June 19, 2025 09:58 AM. Under Featured  

NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, in partnership with the National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA) and the National Skeet Shooting Association (NSSA), is proud to announce the release of a new educational content series designed to help new and non-traditional shooters confidently get started in shotgun sports.

The series, available now on NSSF’s consumer-facing platform, LetsGoShooting.org, includes comprehensive hub pages and short instructional videos focused on the fundamentals of skeet and sporting clays, covering everything from safety and gear to etiquette and technique.

“We’re working to reduce the barriers to entry that many new shooters face, whether that’s uncertainty over the equipment needed, safe firearm handling and range etiquette or simply not knowing where to start,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “This initiative is about building confidence and creating a clear, safe and welcoming path into the shooting sports for anyone who’s interested in learning a new skill.”

“NSSF’s leadership in educating the public about the shooting sports brings countless new shooters to the range each year,” said Michael Hampton, Jr., NSSA-NSCA Executive Director. “We’re proud to partner with NSSF in creating and distributing informative content on skeet and sporting clays, as well as offering free memberships so new shooters can try our sports and access our member benefits to improve their skills.”

Built for Beginners: Hub Pages & Video Series

The video series and digital “hub pages” provide new shooters with step-by-step beginner resources including easy-to-follow guides, gear tips, safety education and tools for finding local ranges and clubs. These are designed to help new shooters be informed, safe and excited to get started.
