Youth Archery resuming 9/27
NSSA Youth Archery will resume on Sunday, Sept 27th 2020. In order to maintain social distancing, we have divided the group into 2 sessions: 10am-12noon, and 1pm-3pm. CDC guidelines will be followed; All equipment will be sanitized in between sessions and masks will be required at all times except while on the firing line.
When archers are on the firing line, masks may be removed as it is a potential safety issue and interferes with proper anchoring. Archers on the firing line will be positioned at every other target to ensure they are a safe distance from one another.
Limited spots are available in the 1pm-3pm session only. If interested, email youtharchery@northsidesportsmen.com
Please include the following in your email:
- bow type (Combound/Recurve)
- If you have your own equipment, or will use a bow provided by the club.
Youth Air Rifle to resume
NSSA will resume its youth air rifle program beginning 10/31/2020

Fall Trap League starts Sept 3
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 3rd 2020, 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.
Thanks,
Ron Halli
