Who We Are

New Jersey trapshooting, member-driven

NJSTA is a conglomerate of shooting sports clubs offering registered and competitive trapshooting across the Garden State. We are the official ATA affiliate for New Jersey, and our member clubs run the registered shoots, club big-50 events, and league competition that keep the sport alive in this corner of the Northeast.

Each member club elects a delegate to NJSTA. That delegate represents the club at NJSTA proceedings, votes on association matters, and serves as the bridge between the state association and the people on the firing line every weekend.
