NSSA considering Hunting committee
NSSA is exploring the idea of creating a hunting committee. For example, this committee will be responsible for the following:
- Setting policy for members to hunt on our property and other lands
- Enhance hunting by creating new opportunities to hunt
- Manage our property to maximize hunting opportunities
- Raise funds to carry our these new enhancements
These are just some of the possible goals of the new committee. What we are looking for are committed members willing to lead this effort, take charge and see it through.
To get a feel for members’ interest, we need some feedback. Please email Stan Hoover at rifle@northsidesportsmen.com with your thoughts, comments, etc. From the responses, we will proceed and decide what the next course of action will be.
Thanks on behalf of the Officers and Board of Directors

CMP Rifle Match on Sunday, June 21
This coming Sunday is the traditional Father’s Day rifle match at NSSA. It will be the classic NRA High Power Rifle Match held by the Civilian Marksmanship Program , this event will challenge shooters skill with open sights at 200 yards and 300 yards. As usual, this regularly scheduled event is open to the public.
The course of fire is 8 rounds of sighters and 50 rounds for score, for a total of 58 rounds for the day.
If you don’t own a qualifying rifle, NSSA has two Bushmaster XM-15 E2S A2 with 20” barrels available for match use, for free. The club also has magazines, slings, empty-chamber indicators, and a ground mat that can be used during the matches. This is an excellent way to give the sport a try for just the cost of ammunition. (Note: Only factory ammunition can be used with the club rifles—no reloads.)
We hope everyone can enhance Father’s Day with us on Sunday.
If you are interested in more details, email the CMP Chairman
