Membership & How to Join
Membership in the Tennessee State Trapshooting Association comes through the Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA) — there are no separate TSTA dues. Under the TSTA Constitution, a member in good standing is a shooter who has resided in Tennessee for at least six months of the year and holds a current ATA membership. In short: if you’re a Tennessee resident shooting ATA-registered targets, you’re a TSTA member.
Join or Renew with the ATA
The ATA is the national governing body for registered trapshooting. You can join or renew online, or download and mail the membership application.
