WINCHESTER LADIES CUP
Winchester is committed to growing participation for women in the shooting sports and designed the first sporting clays competition specifically for women that shoot on the NSCA Championship Tour, Powered by Winchester—the Winchester Ladies Cup. The Winchester Ladies Cup provides $6,750 in additional payout dollars to the top five lady competitors in the Main Event at each championship tour stop. The highest overall lady will receive an additional payout of $3,000, runner-up will receive $1,500, third place will receive $1,000, fourth place $750 and fifth place $500. The additional payout that Winchester provides totals almost $50,000 in incentive for women competing in the NSCA Championship Tour.
“Having a competition geared towards women that isn’t a separate event, but intertwined with each tour stop’s main event is invaluable to female competitors,” Team Winchester shooter Desi Edmunds said. “The Winchester Ladies Cup is unique to this sport and provides an opportunity for female shooters to compete alongside men making the NSCA Championship Tour, Powered by Winchester a truly inclusive event.”
Something to note: Winchester is the only ammunition brand offering additional incentives to women competitors—further proving its commitment to growing the shooting sports.
