At ShootCert, we believe that being part of a supportive shooting community is essential for every shooter – whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience. One of the best ways to connect with that community is by joining the Clay Pigeon Shooting Association (CPSA).
The CPSA is the national governing body for clay target shooting in England, representing all disciplines and providing a wealth of support, services, and opportunities to its members. Here’s why we think membership is a must:
1. Insurance and Peace of Mind
When you join the CPSA, you benefit from comprehensive public liability and personal accident insurance. This covers you while you’re shooting, coaching, officiating, or simply attending a registered event. Having that protection in place offers real peace of mind for both you and those around you.
2. Access to Competitions and Events
Membership gives you the opportunity to compete in hundreds of registered shoots across the country, from local competitions to national championships. Whether you’re competitive by nature or simply looking to challenge yourself, the CPSA offers a structured and supportive environment to develop your skills.
3. Expert Training and Coaching
The CPSA supports shooters at every level, offering access to qualified coaches, training days, and structured programmes designed to help you improve. Whether you’re aiming to refine your technique or explore a new discipline, you’ll have access to expert guidance.
4. Support for the Sport
By joining the CPSA, you’re helping to support and safeguard the future of clay shooting in the UK. The association actively represents the interests of shooters, working with government bodies and other organisations to ensure our sport is properly recognised and protected.
5. Exclusive Member Benefits
Members enjoy a range of exclusive discounts on shooting equipment, clothing, travel, and more. You’ll also receive a subscription to Pull!, the CPSA’s official magazine, packed with news, tips, and insights from the world of clay shooting.
6. Be Part of a Community
Perhaps one of the greatest benefits of CPSA membership is the sense of belonging. Whether you’re shooting socially or competitively, you’ll be part of a community that shares your passion, values, and enthusiasm for the sport.
At ShootCert, we are proud to support the CPSA and all that it stands for. If you’re looking to grow as a shooter, stay protected, and be part of something bigger, we highly recommend joining the CPSA.
