New Jersey State Trapshooting Association

The New Jersey State Trapshooting Association is the state affiliate of the Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA). They serve as the organizational hub for competitive trapshooting across the state, bringing together a conglomerate of shooting sports clubs that offer registered and competitive trap shooting.

NJSTA's core mission is straightforward: promote the sport of trapshooting, organize and sanction statewide competitions, and represent members within the ATA framework. The organization maintains a board of directors made up of ATA members and delegates from each member club.

Key responsibilities: - Sanction registered tournaments throughout New Jersey - Coordinate statewide competitive events - Manage youth trapshooting programs through the ATA-AIM initiative - Maintain membership club network and resources

NJSTA coordinates seven primary member clubs across the state:

• •Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol Club (Jackson)
• •Ground Swipers Rod & Gun Club (Forked River)
• •Howell Trap Club (Farmington)
• •Mallard Trap Club (Monroe Township)
• •North Jersey Clay Target Club (Fairfield)
• •Pine Belt Sportsman's Club (Shamong)
• •Pine Valley Gun Club (Berlin)

The ATA-AIM program brings trapshooting to the next generation, offering safe, competitive opportunities from elementary through college age. The program emphasizes sportsmanship, personal responsibility, and the foundations for a lifetime in the sport.

"AIM encourages good sportsmanship and personal responsibility through competition while establishing the foundation to make trapshooting a lifelong avocation."
