What we cover
Three disciplines, one standard.
Coach's Corner
From the coach's bench.
Wing and Clay is built by competitors and NSCA-credentialed coaches. The Endorsement is built on the same standard we hold our own students to: gun-fit, stationcraft, and a quiet respect for the bird.
Each issue of the field journal collects what's worth saying — no more, no less.
Read the journalHow it works
The Endorsement is earned, not bought.
Vetted by competitors
Every operator is shot in person by a registered NSCA competitor before the badge is granted.
Transparent criteria
The full criteria — gun safety, instruction, lodging, conservation — are public and reviewed annually.
Founder-led standard
Every endorsement is signed off by a credentialed coach on the team. There is no paid placement, ever.
