| Fairfield Sportsmen’s Association is affiliated with the National Skeet Shooting Association (NSSA), the largest organization in the world solely dedicated to the sport of skeet shooting. |
| |
| We have two well maintained skeet fields on our grounds available year around to our Members and their guests. Non-members are also welcome to shoot skeet during any of our scheduled organized events which include Open Shoots, Skeet Leagues, Registered and Non-Registered Competitions, and Skeet Training Clinics. To shoot skeet you need your own shotgun (or borrow one from a friend), safety glasses (prescription glasses are acceptable), hearing protection, shotshells, and a shooting vest or pouch to hold at least 25 shells. |

Open Shoots: |
| Our open shoots are an opportunity for you and your friends to meet our friendly members, find out more about skeet shooting and equipment, and practice a few rounds of skeet yourself. If you have never shot skeet or even a shotgun, but you’ve got the “bug”, stop down during our open shoots and ask the skeet manager about one on one skeet instruction and our beginners’ skeet clinic. |
| |
| | Sundays | 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM |
| | Fridays | 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM |
| | Cost per 25 Target Round: | $3.50 Members; $4.50 Non-members |
|
| |
Skeet Leagues: |
| We offer four skeet leagues each year on Wednesdays from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, one 10-week league per season. The cost of each skeet league includes cash prizes and an end of league cookout or dinner. Our skeet leagues are a great way to jump right into skeet and to get to know our friendly skeet shooters. |

Skeet Ammunition: |
| Only #9, #8.5 #8, and #7.5 lead shot shells can be used on FSA's skeet fields for safety reasons. #6 size and larger (6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 00 etc.) CANNOT be used. Also steel shot CANNOT be used. Obviously NO slugs EVER! |
| |
| Rules of Thumb: |
- The shells you hunt with normally cannot be shot on the Skeet Fields.
- High brass shells are normally an indicator of hunting loads, not Skeet Loads.
- If you don't know what new shells or reloads you have, please don't use them on the Skeet Fields without approval of the Skeet Manager on duty.
|
|
| FSA has shotgun target loads (12ga, 20ga, 28ga, and 410) available for sale at the Trap House and the Skeet House during Sunday and Friday Open Shoots. |
| |
| If you'd like more information on what Skeet loads may be best for you and your gun, stop by our Open Shoots on Friday evenings or Sunday mornings. We have a lot of seasoned shooters that would love to help you out. Make sure you bring your gun - we'd love to have you shoot with us! |

Skeet Rules: |
| Skeet Rules of Conduct and Safety are posted in the Skeet Building. |
