“Winchester Ammunition and White Flyer are excited to be aligned with the NSCA at the highest level again in 2026,” said Jason Gilbertson, Senior Director of Marketing for Winchester Ammunition. “Our team of sport shooters had a tremendous 2025 season, including Mike Wilgus bringing home the National Championship title with Winchester AA® target shotshells.”

The NSCA Championship Tour brings together the top sporting clays athletes through multiple regional events that require elite mental focus, precision, and consistent training to win. These events all culminate in October with the NSCA National Championship held at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio, Texas.

Winchester continues its commitment to growing female participation in the shooting sports by leading with the Winchester Ladies Cup. The Winchester Ladies Cup is a season-long sporting clays competition designed specifically for ladies who shoot on the NSCA Championship Tour, powered by Winchester. In 2026, each Winchester Ladies Cup tour stop will be split into two groups: Pro/M/AA and A/B/C/D.

The second group, A/B/C/D, will compete for cases of Winchester AA® target shotshells across two events: the Main and Super Sporting. Payouts and ammunition will be sent to the winner’s post-event. For 2026, Winchester has added $40,000 in payouts and 120 cases of AA® shotshells for female sporting clays athletes.
