For close to 20,000 members of the Na-tional Skeet Shooting
Association, shattering clay targets is a way of life ... exercise
of the body, mind and soul. Throughout the year, they shoot at
millions of targets while meeting new people and traveling across
the country.
FOSTER THE FATHER OF SKEETIt all started on the grounds of the
Glen
Rock Kennels in the village of Ballardvale near the town of
Andover, Massachusetts. It was there that Charles E. Davies,
proprietor of the kennels, his son Henry W. and "Father of Skeet"
William H. Foster, started shooting at clay targets as a means of
improving their wingshooting skills. Their shooting gradually moved
toward the inevitable competition that must exist among human kind.
Circa 1915, in order to regulate the competition, Mr. Davies
developed a course using a complete circle of 25 yards radius with
the circumference marked off like the face of a clock thus creating
12 shooting positions. The single trap was set at 12 o'clock and
threw the targets over the 6 o'clock posi-tion. The competition
consisted of shooting two shots from each of these 12 stations. The
shell that was left over from a box of 25 was used, first as a
stunt, to shoot at an incomer from the center of the circle. This
snapshot proved to be a shot offering realistic practice and was
adopted as a permanent fixture similar to station eight in the
modern regulation program.
FROM FULL CIRCLE TO HALF CIRCLEShooting "around the clock," as
it was informally called, had
most of the elements of modern skeet shooting except it was a
full circle. In 1923 this was soon stopped by an all-too-common
event even today-neighbor problems. A neighbor started a chicken
farm on a lot adjoining the kennel thus putting a stop to shooting
in that direction.
That problem was resolved by producing a second trap and placing
it at 6 o'clock so that it would throw its target over 12 o'clock
eliminating 1-5 o'clock positions. This gave the shooter the same
types of shots as were found on the original clock-face, but only
using 180°. In addition Foster decided to further vary the
available targets by placing the left-hand trap on an old tree
stump some feet higher than the right-hand trap. The stations were
renamed as 1 through 8 and the diameter reduced to 20 yards
bringing the form of the future modern skeet field into view.
Noting the appeal of this form of shooting, Foster became
convinced that development of the game could be made nation-ally
acceptable. He therefore set about to complete a shooting program
that would contain all the necessary elements of wing-shooting
practice and a competitive sport. Among the additions were four
sets of doubles and an optional shot.
NAMING THE SPORTAfter the details of the sport had been worked
out, tested,
and a set of rules drawn up, Foster, utilizing his offices as
editor of both the National Sportsman and Hunting and Fishing
magazines, introduced his idea to the public. In the February 1926
issues, a description of the game was published. At the same time,
a prize
H. W. Davies shooting from Station 2 on the original skeet
field. Photo taken shortly after the chicken farm was established
so this is the first semi-cirle field. Note the elevated trap on
Station 1.
of $100 was offered for the most appropriate name for the new
sport. Mrs. Gertrude Hurlbutt of Dayton, Montana, won the prize
with her suggestion of "skeet," an old Scandinavian form of the
word "shoot." Some 10,000 entries were received in the contest.
The American shooter was apparently ready for a practical form
of wing-shooting that would test their hunting skill any month of
the year. The popularity of skeet shooting today has far exceed-ed
the expectations of its original sponsors.
THE ASSOCIATION AND MAGAZINE As the popularity of skeet grew,
the forming of the National
Skeet Shooting Association (NSSA) under the proprietorship of
National Sportsman, Inc. came about on March 20, 1928 with William
Harnden Foster as the first president. Both of National Sportsman,
Inc. magazines were used as a vehicle to promote and report on NSSA
matters.
In January 1931 the Skeet Shooting News magazine with Henry
Ahlin as editor first appeared as the official voice of the
NSSA. This continued with the SSN sometimes published as inserts
within the National Sportsman or Hunting and Fishing magazines
until 1942 and the outbreak of WWII. There were no publications
1943-1946.
On January 12, 1933 the NSSA began to register shoots and
scores; $1 .00 per year for individuals and $1.00 per shoot for
clubs. The first registered shoot was the Middle Atlantic States
Championship, February 19, 1933, at Wildwood Grove Skeet Club in
New Jersey. The Great Eastern was also registered in that same
year. The first official National Championship was held August
1935, in Cleveland, Ohio. The l2 (all gauge) event entry totaled
113 participants. The National Championships became an annual
event, being rotated around the country in St. Louis, Tulsa, San
Francisco, Detroit, Syracuse, Indianapolis and the last
champion-ship under the original NSSA held in Syracuse in 1942.
Insofar as civilian shooters were concerned, skeet became
nonexistent during War II. Equipment and ammunition were
unavail-able, and most of the participants had gone to war.
However, the government quickly realized the value of the sport in
gunnery train-ing and all branches of the armed forces relied on
skeet to teach the servicemen the principles of leading moving
targets. Many of the great civilian shooters rushed into the
services, many used as gunnery instructors.

2016 RECORDS ANNUAL 5
At end of the WWII National Sportsman, Inc. under new
own-ership, was no longer interested in overseeing the NSSA. A
group of skeet enthusiasts officially brought the sport back to the
public holding the National Championships at Indianapolis in summer
1946, and incorporating the present NSSA in December, 1946. This
new association was financed in the beginning by a substan-tial
loan from the National Rifle Association, with headquarters
coexistent with the NRA in Washington, D.C. The Skeet Shooting
Review magazine first appeared in February 1947.
THE MOVE TO TEXAS Soon after the new organization was formed,
the national
headquarters was moved to Dallas, Texas. For a time, Dallas was
designated as the permanent location for the annual national
tournament. Due to a number of circumstances, the permanent home
policy was abolished in 1952 and until 1993 the tournament,
now officially named World Championships, was staged at Reno,
Nev.; Waterford, Mich.; Lynnhaven, Va.; St. Janvier, Quebec; Rush,
NY; Savannah, Ga.; Bucyrus, Kansas; and San Antonio, Texas. On
September 1, 1973 NSSA Headquarters was moved to the Texas
International Gun Club in San Antonio. The club was renamed the
National Gun Club—now the National Shooting Complex. In 1993 the
National Shooting Complex was designated as the permanent site.
In addition to the regular skeet shooting program of 12, 20 and
28 gauges, .410 bore and doubles, the NSSA offers registered
targets in International style. This features several deviations to
“American” style, including a 0-3 second variable target release,
low gun ready position, faster targets, and a different sequence of
targets. This is to meet the requirements of the International
Olympic Committee, producer of the Olympic Games, where skeet
shooting has been an event since 1968.

8 NSSA
In 2009, the NSSA updated its Bylaws to (i) be consistent with
the law as the Texas Nonprofit Corporation's Act was being done
away with, and the new Texas Business Organizations Code was being
adopted, and (ii) streamline some of the language in its Bylaws. In
September 2014, the Board of Directors determined that (i) some of
the more detailed procedural language that existed in our bylaws
prior to 2009 should be re-inserted, where appropriate, to provide
more clarity, particularly to Article VII, Section 3: and (ii) the
methods used for transmitting and receiving ballots should be
expanded beyond general mail to include other means of transmission
(e.g. electronic mailing, facsimile).
NATIONAL SKEET SHOOTING ASSOCIATIONA TEXAS NON-PROFIT MEMBERSHIP
CORPORATION
CHARTERED MARCH 26, 1984AMENDED AND RESTATED SEPTEMBER 27,
2015
ARTICLE 1. PURPOSEThe Association is organized exclusively for
charitable, scientific, literary or educational purposes as

competition in shotgun target shooting, particularly that type of
shooting generally known as skeet shooting, either directly or
through contributions to organizations that qualify as exempt
organizations under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code;
(ii) To educate persons in the proper conduct and effective
techniques of shotgun target shooting and the safe and efficient
handling of shotguns;
(iii) To assist other organizations, including the Armed Forces
of the United States and of the several states, in promoting
amateur shotgun target shooting (in-cluding those phases of
marksmanship training to which shotgun shooting is peculiarly
adapted) by maintaining a standard set of rules and regulations,
keeping records and publicizing activities;
(iv) To sponsor a World Skeet Shooting Championship; (v) To
develop among its members those qualities of patriotism and good
sports-
manship which are basic ingredients of good citizenship; and
(vi) In general, to promote and advance the interest, welfare and
development of
amateur competition in skeet shooting and related sports.(b) No
part of the net earnings of the Association shall inure to the
benefit of any member,
director or officer of the Association or any private
individual, except that reasonable compensation may be paid for
services rendered to or for the Association affecting one or more
of its purposes. No member, director or officer of the Association
or any private individual shall be entitled to share in the
distribution of any of the corporate assets upon dissolution of the
Association. No substantial part of the activities of the
Association shall be the carrying on of propaganda, or otherwise
attempting to influence legislation, and the Association shall not

activities not permitted to be conducted or carried on by an
organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code and the
Treasury Regulations as they now exist or as they may hereafter be
amended (the “Treasury Regulations”), or by an organization
contributions to which are deductible under Section 170(c)(2) of
the Code and the Treasury Regulations.
ARTICLE 2. MEMBERSSec. 1 - ELIGIBILITY. Any individual or
association of persons interested in the sport of skeet shooting
shall be eligible to membership.Sec. 2 - CLASSES. The membership
shall be divided into the following classes, all of which are
nontransferable and the fees for which are nonrefundable.
(a) Life Member. A life member shall be a member of the
Association for the remainder of his lifetime and shall receive for
such period all benefits received by a Regular Annual Member.
(b) Life Member Emeritus. Voluntary status for life members
prior to May 1, 2002. When a Life Member becomes inactive by not
shooting registered targets for one shooting year they will
automatically be placed in Life Member Emeritus status and will not
receive Headquarters mailings, a annual classification card and
monthly issues of the Skeet Shooting Review. When they resume
shooting registered targets, their full membership privileges will
automatically be reinstated.
(c) Husband and Wife Life Members. Husband and Wife Life Members
are each entitled for the remainder of their respective lives to
the benefits received by a Life Member, except that the husband and
wife shall be entitled to only one subscription to the
Association’s official magazine. Such subscription shall be
registered in the name of the spouse designated by either the
husband or wife. If neither spouse is specifically designated for
the magazine subscription, it shall be registered in the husband’s
name. In the event of death, the subscription shall continue for
the benefit of the surviving spouse. In the event a marriage is
dissolved for any other reason, the subscription shall continue for
the benefit of the spouse in whose name it is registered, unless
the Association receives written instructions from such person to
continue the subscription for the benefit of the other spouse.

requirements established by the Executive Committee. No more than
one such association may be recognized from any state, province or
other territory. A state association shall supervise the sport
within its territorial jurisdiction under the framework of the
Association’s rules. Its purpose is to promote the sport through
regular meetings of its member clubs, set up shoot schedules, pass
on applications for registration of shoots and require strict
application of the Association’s rules in all registered shoots
held under its jurisdiction.

have access to at least one skeet field, and whose purpose is to
promote skeet shooting in cooperation with the Association, may
join the Association as a club. Any skeet club must be a credited
member of its proper state or territorial association before it may
hold registered target competition.
(g) New Classifications. The Executive Committee may create such
additional types of memberships as it determines will further

considered in good standing unless such member’s dues are paid in
full for the current period. The Executive Committee shall have the
right to refuse the affiliation of any individual or organization

member does not receive an official ballot the member may request a
replacement ballot be sent to the member up to the June 30
deadline. Provided there are no Directors to be elected in any
election year from any state or other recognized subdivision, no
ballots need to be sent to individual members from such state or
subdivision. Ballots shall be headed “OFFICIAL BALLOT – ELECTION OF
DIRECTORS – NATIONAL SKEET SHOOTING ASSOCIATION.” There shall be
printed on the ballots the number of Directors to be elected from
the member’s state or subdivision and an instruction to vote for
not more than such number of Directors. The ballots shall contain a
sufficient number of
lines, adequately spaced, on which the member may write the
names of candidates for whom the member votes. Members cannot cast
more than one vote for one person. Each ballot must also provide
space for the member’s signature, address and Association
number.
(e) Counting. Only ballots received at the Association offices
by midnight of June 30 may be counted. Counting shall commence on

elected. In the event of a tie for a state Director position, a
run-off ballot to determine the winner will be sent to the members
in that state on or about July 1st and must be returned to the
Association no later than July 31st.
(f) Results. All Directors elected shall be notified by letter

the Directors shall not be permit-ted.

required by the Act to be taken at a meeting of the Board of

these Bylaws or otherwise, may be taken without a meeting if a
consent in writing, setting forth the action to be taken, shall be
signed by a sufficient number of the Directors as would be
necessary to take that action at a meeting at which all of the
Directors were present and voted. (By way of example, general Board
actions (excluding mergers and other actions which require approval
by a majority of Directors in office under the Act) which could be
approved by a majority of those present at a meeting at which a
quorum is present would require the approval of greater than 50% of
the Board of Directors if the action is taken by means of less than
unanimous written consent.)
(ii) Each written consent shall bear the date of signature of
each Director who signs the consent. A written consent signed by
less than all of the Directors is not effective to take the action
that is the subject of the consent unless, within sixty (60) days
after the date of the earliest dated consent delivered to the
Association in the manner required by this Section, a consent or
consents signed by the required number of Directors is delivered to
the Association at its registered office, registered agent,
principal place of business, transfer agent, registrar, exchange
agent, or an officer or agent of the Association having custody of

Directors are recorded. Delivery shall be by hand, certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested, electronic mail,
facsimile or similar means.
(iii) Prompt notice of the taking of any action by Directors
without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be
given by the Secretary to all Directors who did not consent in
writing to the action.
(iv) A telegram, telex, cablegram, or similar transmission by a
Director or a pho-tographic, photostatic, facsimile, or similar
reproduction of a writing signed by a Director shall be regarded as
signed by the Director for purposes of this Section.
(g) Telephonic Meetings. A meeting of the Board of Directors may
be held by confer-ence telephone or similar communications
equipment by means of which all per-sons participating in the
meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participa-tion
pursuant to this Section shall constitute presence in person at
such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for
the express purpose of ob-jecting that the meeting was not properly
called.
(h) Electronic Communications Systems Meetings. A meeting of the
Board may be held by any suitable electronic communications system,
including videoconferenc-ing technology or Internet, if each
Director entitled to participate in the meeting consents to the
meeting being held by such means and the system provides access to
the meeting in a manner or using a method by which each Director
