Skeet Shooter Lee Staska Passes

Lee Staska

Lee StaskaLouise Terry reports the sad news that Lee Staska, 72, long-time skeet shooter from Atlanta, GA, died on July 7, 2016 from brain cancer.

“Lee was a member of our five-man skeet team from Wolf Creek/Tom Lowe Shooting Grounds during the years when I lived in Georgia from 1986 to 1993,” said Terry. “He had a great sense of humor, always wore a smile, and loved life. Lee was passionate about his shooting and shot skeet, some sporting clays, and hunted birds right up until the time of his illness.

“He was a great friend who will be missed by all of his shooting and hunting buddies.”

Anyone wishing to make a memorial contribution in Lee’s memory can do so by sending a donation to the American Brain Tumor Association,  8550 W. Bryn Mawr Ave., Suite 550, Chicago, IL   60631, www.abta.org.

NSSA and Lee’s skeet friends extend our sincerest condolences to Kim, his wife of 28 years, and to his family.

New Official Magazine Launches in January

Starting in January, 2016, you will receive a new official NSCA magazine, Clay Target Nation, a joint publication with NSSA. Our long-term contract with Sporting Clays magazine to provide a publication to you is expiring, and we have engaged Grand View Media to produce the new magazine under our direction.

Around the same time you receive the inaugural issue of Clay Target Nation, you will also receive your final issue of Sporting Clays magazine. Although its cover date will be February 2016, you should receive it in early January. That will be the only month of overlapping magazines.

The publisher of Sporting Clays has informed us that they will cease publication after the February issue. We will fulfill any regular paid subscriptions of that magazine with Clay Target Nation.

We wish to thank the publisher, editors, and writers of Sporting Clays magazine for 25 years of their partnership and service to the members of NSCA. We appreciate their coverage and promotion of our sport, our members, and our association in their pages. As we enter an exciting new era at NSCA, we wish the Sporting Clays magazine team a fulfilling and prosperous next chapter as well.
