Sporting Clays shooters on the NSCA Championship Tour should expect to see a lot of Winchester AA hulls over the next three years. Winchester Ammunition, continuing its long-standing commitment to the shooting sports recently announced the company's latest sponsorship: the National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA) Championship Tour. 
 
As title sponsor, the NSCA Championship Tour will now be “Powered by Winchester.” The tour includes eight events held throughout the U.S. that attracts some of the most talented sporting clays shooters in the world.

According to the most recent data from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, approximately 10.5 million people participated in sporting clays shooting, compared to 8.4 million in 2009—a 25 percent increase. This makes sense, given the upward trend of clay shooting as a whole over the past few years, especially with young people.

But, they also present the opportunity for hundreds of our members at all levels and classifications to shoot alongside many of the best sporting clays competitors in the world," says Michael Hampton, Jr., executive director of the National Sporting Clays Association.
