Volunteers needed for Fish Fry
Volunteering at Northside Sportsmen’s Association can reduce your annual dues by as much as $50. There are few light-duty volunteer opportunities that are as enjoyable as supporting the Spring Fish Fry Fridays.
This year, the Fish Fry occurs on Fridays Feb 20 – Apr 3 as shown in the calendar below.
We need 3 or 4 volunteers each Friday during two time periods …
10:00 – 2:00
4:00 – 8:00
This is one of the best ways for you to have a fun day and reduce your annual club dues for 2016 at the same time.
If you’re interested, please send your preferred date and time to volunteer@northsidesportsmen.com. Your request will be confirmed within 24 hours.
Thank you for your support of Northside Sportsmen’s Association.

Rifle sight in days open to the public fall 2014
NSSA’s Rifle Committee will hold sight-ins days for hunting rifles on November 22 and 23, and also Nov 29 and 30, from 8 am til 4 pm.
These are the Saturday and Sunday before and after Thanksgiving. This activity will be open to members at $1/rifle, and $2/rifle for non members. We will supply targets at 100 yards, sandbags, spotting scopes, advice and assistance as needed.
We will also repeat the deer hunter’s challenge, a 4 shot match at different distances at deer size targets. Come out, sight your rifle in, then take the challenge for $2!
Also, we need volunteers to help, good for volunteer hours for next year. We particularly need help on both Sundays.
Rifle Range Closure Nov 11
The rifle range will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday Nov 11 so that the new berm can be seeded and covered in straw matting. This may also affect trap shooting.
The ranges will be closed as long as there are people working to ensure their safety. Thanks for your patience as we improve the property.
Access Card Distribution and Usage Reminder
All members should have new access cards by now, and they should be working properly. Please let someone know if you have any problems, or if you haven’t received your new card, please contact the membership chairman.
Please remember that rules for using the new cards are the same: You are responsible for its use, and only you can use it. If you lose it, you must let the membership chairman know immediately so it can be turned off and a new one issued. You cannot lend it to non-members, and you must accompany all guests on NSSA grounds. Please comply with these rules to keep our club safe
Additional access card notes
The new card system is now in effect throughout NSSA, including the gate. Hold your new card at the reader or on the inner door locks until the buzzing stops and the light turns color. This may take a few seconds. Then turn the door handle.
We are using the scheduler to automatically open the gate for meetings and shoots.
NOTE: If the gate is open do NOT swipe your card at the gate readers. Doing so will cause the system to malfunction.
If you have problems contact Stan Hoover.
Also, all cards had a set up mistake made and must be updated. Please bring your card to a meeting or see someone in the office to get this done. Although your card will still allow access despite the issue, we urge all members to bring their cards in for reprogramming asap.
New card access system now active
The door locks in the clubhouse have been moved to the new card system. Swipe the card on the lock, not the old wall mounted reader for the inside doors. The outside doors have new wall mounted readers to use. The front gate is being updated today. There will be new card readers but will work the same as the old ones. PLEASE BRING BOTH CARDS WITH YOU WHILE ANY BUGS ARE WORKED OUT. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ISSUES WITH THE NEW SYSTEM, PLEASE CONTACT STAN HOOVER
Rifle Range Closures 10/27 – 28
The rifle range will be closed Monday and Tuesday this week during work hours for the completion of the left hand berm. We were just informed of this and we have to go with the schedule as given. The rules will be range closed if the bulldozer and dump trucks are working. Range will be open when they are not. This will mean evenings after 5 pm the range should be open both days. Pistol will be open during this time. Thanks for everyone’s support for this necessary work.
