The Ultimate Sporting Clays Podcast
The Shotgun Sports USA Podcast is all about sharing the stories, insights, and personalities from the world of shotgun sports with shooters everywhere. Whether you’re just starting out and looking to hit your first 50 straight, a competitive NSCA shooter aiming for Master Class, a FITASC competitor, or someone who simply loves hunting with friends, we’re here to help you improve your shooting while celebrating the people who make these sports special.
Since its debut in 2020, Shotgun Sports USA has become a go-to podcast in the clay target community. We host conversations with World Champions, National Champions, Olympic athletes, instructors, target setters, club owners, manufacturers, and innovators from across the shooting sports world. Episodes cover everything from sporting clays and FITASC to trap, skeet, hunting, equipment, competition, and the people behind the sport.
All-Around Performance Rankings
See who is performing at the highest level across America’s major shooting events. The Shotgun Sports USA All-Around Performance Rankings compare shooters across Sporting Clays, FITASC, Super Sporting, and 5-Stand using actual tournament results. Performance is measured against the winning score, course difficulty, and strength of the field—not simply raw scores.
After every qualifying tournament, the latest results are uploaded into the Shotgun Sports USA Performance Index, where the data is analyzed and the rankings are recalculated. The Overall Ranking combines performance across all four disciplines to identify the shooters delivering the strongest and most consistent results throughout the season.
Open the SSUSA Performance App to view every ranked shooter, search by name, and see each shooter’s true rank.
