If you’ve been part of the NRA Women audience at all for the past several years, the name Desirae Edmunds should ring familiar. As a member of Team Winchester, Desi continues to rise through the ranks of the top sporting clays competitors, standing on the winner’s podium with her teammates countless times, even capturing first place at the 3rd Annual Winchester Ladies Cup in 2023. We’ll be seeing Desi in action again at the upcoming National Sporting Clays Association (NSCA) championship in San Antonio in October 2025. If you aren’t familiar with the Ladies Cup, created by Winchester as a way to level the prize-winnings playing field among female sporting clays competitors compared to their male counterparts, you can get a good primer of this season-long event in this 2024 American Rifleman TV segment.
Meantime, the latest episode of the Winchester Life podcast sits down with Desi, one of the most respected sporting clays competitors who has spent years mastering her craft. In this video, we learn about Desi’s journey into the sport, the discipline it takes to compete at the highest level, and the role Winchester plays in her success—both on the range and beyond.
