Posted on by Posted in 3D Archery Shoot, Archery

The last indoor 3D archery shoot is this Thursday March 24. This will be the last chance to shoot indoor 3D until next year.
Don’t miss your chance! Join us on Thursday!

As the weather improves, the archers will move outdoors on the scheduled open days. The outdoor 3D course will open as weather permits to clear the areas of overgrowth.

We will provide additional updates regarding spring/summer archery activities as they develop.

Spring Trap league starts March 10

Posted on by Posted in Open to Public, Trap

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 Spring League starts Thursday, March 10th, 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 $10 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 availibility.

There was an impressive turnout for last Thursday’s indoor 3D archery shoot. Co-Chair Tom M. Set the field for the shoot and although he took it easy for the opener by setting most of the targets at 20 or 30 yards there were plenty of challenging shots.

Thanks to all who attended! It makes the effort worthwhile to see everyone participating and having fun. For those who are curious, don’t be shy.. There are many friendly folks here willing to help! We hope to see you in the weeks to come!

NSSA Guest Policy Reminder

Posted on by Posted in Club Operations, Membership, Safety and Security

This message is a reminder to all members about Northside’s policy on bringing guests, accepted last year by the Board of Directors. Any member bringing more than 3 guests to shoot at any range must first contact the Range Chairman to discuss the date and number of guests. Members are personally responsible for the actions of their guests, and the Board of Directors does not feel that one member can monitor and ensure the safe conduct of more than 3 guests at a time. The range chairman can make arrangements to have help available to accommodate the extra guests, if needed.

This policy only includes non scheduled events, such as open shooting on rifle, pistol, archery, skeet, trap, etc. Scheduled events such as trap and skeet shoots are not included under this policy, as there are enough safety officers for those events.

Also, please remember that guests must yield to members in case of overcrowding at our ranges.

Please respect this policy and cooperate with NSSA range chairmen to ensure safety for all shooters.

Stan Hoover, NSSA Board Chairman
