Texas State Sporting Clays Shoot Canceled

With a worsening of the COVID-19 status of San Antonio and the National Shooting Complex over the past few days, we regret that we must cancel our plans to host the Texas State Sporting Clays Championship.

Over the past 72 hours, a mandate from the mayor requires approval for large events, and Bexar County residents have been advised to stay at home. Also, two members of our NSC staff, as well as the spouse of an employee, have now tested positive for … [Read more...]
