General Members Meeting
5:30 PM until 7:30 PM
North Side Sportsmen’s Association will hold a swap meet at the clubhouse for all members at the October regular membership meeting. Any member registering may bring sporting items to trade or sell to other members.
Please, sporting items only! No household junk, no liquor, no furniture, no regular clothing, etc. We’re looking to trade or buy ammo, reloading equipment and supplies, firearm accessories, hunting/shooting clothing, optics, fishing and hunting equipment, archery equipment and accessories, etc. If you bring a firearm to sell, make sure it is unloaded and the action is locked open with a tie-wrap. And you will be responsible for complying with all state and federal laws.
All materials and equipment brought to the meet must be removed by the end of the evening. Do not leave anything on a table. The swap meet will be closed during the meeting.
To participate, please send an email to register for a half table to display your items. The registration is so we know how many tables to provide. There is no charge to participate. If you don’t want to sell, then stop by and look through the things others bring. Maybe you’ll find something you’ve been looking for! Then, stick around for the meeting at 7:30 PM. Remember to wear your membership card.
To register, email your name to Stan Hoover at rifle@northsidesportsmen.com. If you don’t register you won’t get a table.
Every Fall and Spring NSSA hosts a 12-week trap league that takes place on Thursday Nights. Shooters are divided into 5 teams which compete against each other for shells, prizes, and most importantly, bragging rights at the end of the 12-weeks. Our Fall League starts Thursday, September 2nd 2021, with a 100 bird pre-season shoot.
This shoot is a great opportunity for shooters to dust off their guns and get back out on the range. Following the 100 bird shoot, shooters will be divided into the 5 even teams based on their score and known ability, and these are the teams they will shoot 50 birds each week for throughout the rest of the season.
Sign-up times are 4pm-8pm each Thursday and it costs $12 per week to shoot the league. This cost not only covers the targets each week but also the prizes and the end of the league banquet dinner that we have at the club. Everyone is welcome, including non members, so we hope to see you out there! Please be advised that during this 12-week league shooters are not required to participate in the league and can opt to shoot practice instead, however league squads will have preference over trap availability.

We are in the process of contacting the winners of the drawing with information on how to claim their prizes. If you are holding a winning ticket, you will receive a call from us very soon!
We also would like to point out a few things with regards to the drawing:
On behalf of the Board of Directors and Executive Officers, Thank you for your support!
As was discussed at the March 2nd General Membership Meeting, winning numbers will be drawn for the Saturday, April 25, 2020 Gun Bash by the end of March.
To ensure the integrity of the drawing, the activity will be witnessed by a collection of Executive Officers, Board of Directors, Chairmen, Distinguished members of the Association and high quantity ticket sellers. NSSA Member volunteers will also be present to facilitate the drawing and record the winning numbers.
The activity will take place in the indoor archery room which will be configured in compliance with COVID-19 requirements to ensure proper distancing. Occupancy will be significantly limited to ensure safety of all involved. In addition, the HALO air purification system will be in operation during the entire duration.
As a gesture of appreciation to those who sacrifice their time to perform and observe the drawing, lite fare will be provided. Upon conclusion of the drawing, NSSA Volunteers will contact the winners. The winning numbers will also be posted on the club bulletin board, and made available online.
