A fall classic gathered the greats of the shooting sports once again at the state-of-the-art National Shooting Complex for the 2021 National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA) Championship. This event, which took place October 22-31, was also the final NSCA Championship Tour, Powered by Winchester and the Winchester Ladies Cup.
The 2021 NSCA National Championship consisted of 13 events over 10 days, with more than 2,250 registered entrants, including 11 members of Team Winchester.
“Winchester is extremely proud of all the shooters who took part in NSCA events across the country this year,” said Matt Campbell, vice president of sales and marketing at Winchester. “We have put a tremendous amount of effort into supporting the NSCA and the attendees with our brand and our products. Winchester was very active at the National Championship Tour, and our Team Winchester athletes were once again terrific.”
