In response to feedback from the recent Ladies Pistol Class, NSSA is hosting a low key, Ladies Only day Saturday November 5th from 10am to 2pm on the West Range. This event is open to the public – all are invited to participate.
The range will be restricted to lady shooters only between 10am and 2pm. You are free to arrive anytime within that period and leave whenever you like. The closer to 2pm you arrive, the less time you will have to shoot. In the unlikely event we are overwhelmed with lady shooters, we may ask to relinquish some time for later arrivals. We look forward to having you participate.
NSSA will furnish targets, loaner eye and ear protection (if needed), and Range Safety Officers will be on duty. The cost is $5.00 each.
Participants need to bring their own handgun and proper ammunition. If you are uncertain of your handgun manipulation skills, our trained Range Safety Officers will be available to assist you.
Please dress for the weather. In the event of inclement weather (significant rain) the event will be canceled via E-mail to our members.

l be holding our first Meat Shoot of the season this Sunday, October 23rd at10:00am. Additional shoots are scheduled for November 6th, November 20th, December 4th, and December 18th.On these dates, trap will be CLOSED to practice shooters. For more information about how the meat shoots work and how there’s a chance for anyone to win, beginners and sharpshooters alike, please click here: Meat Shoot Flyer 2016-2017. The flyer also gives information on ammo restrictions so please do take the time to read it.
For those of you who have participated in our meat shoots in the past, we have made a few changes that we hope will make them more enjoyable for all participants. We can now accommodate larger squads of approximately 15 shooters per squad thanks to our new and improved concrete pads. This means less waiting and more shooting!
We will also be holding what we’re calling the “lucky shot” raffle each shoot. Shooters can purchase raffle tickets for $2 each. After the 7th round of shooting we will pull a ticket and that shooter will have one shot to break the lucky target. If the 1st shooter misses we will pull a 2nd ticket and a 3rd if necessary. We will not pull more than 3 tickets per shoot. If a shooter breaks the target they win all of the raffle money. If nobody breaks the target the money will carry over to the next meat shoot. Try your hand and see how lucky you are!
Bring your friends- meat shoots are open to the public. We hope to see all of there. Feel free to reach out to shotgunsports@northsidesportsmen.com if you have any questions.
We want you! To join CMP
NSSA can easily accommodate more CMP – NRA rifle match shooters than are currently participating.
This program gives rifle owners a great way to practice their marksmanship with a variety of matches during the year featuring a variety of rifle types. The competition is low-key, with the only prizes being bragging-rights. Safety is taken very seriously but all other aspects of the matches are rather informal. Most participants are only interested in doing better than they did in their last match.
We welcome any newcomers to our program, which runs from April through October. The match fee is just $10 and the matches are open to the public. We have all the equipment needed to try out the program, available for free loan.
We would very much like to encourage youth participation (which is a cornerstone of the national CMP program). To that end, anyone under the age of 18 participates for free.
The matches are generally held on the 1st and 3rdSundays of the month.
The September NRA High-Power match has been rescheduled for Sunday, Sept 25th. Sign-in will be at 8:30 and the match starts at 9:00.
We start each stage in position (a safety decision).
Each position gets two sighter rounds. So there’s a total of 58 shots, of which 50 shots are for score.
Questions, suggestions? Email cmp@northsidesportsmen.com
Regards,
–Glen Beattie
CMP Chairman
