In an effort to provide greater opportunity for Members to support the 2nd Amendment Rally, NSSA is uniting with the Beaver County Sportsmen’s Conservation League (BCSCL) in a fundraising dinner at Monaca Turners on Saturday evening, March 4th.
Tickets are $40 each. You are NOT Obligated to attend the Rally by attending the dinner, but if there is enough participation at the fundraiser, the Northside bus will be free for anyone who wants to attend. (Attendees of the fund-raiser are guaranteed a seat on the bus if you wish to attend the Rally.)
The 12th annual Pennsylvania 2nd Amendment Rally will be held in Harrisburg on Monday, May 22nd. This year’s theme is “Make the 2nd Amendment Great Again.” The topics of focus will include Constitutional Carry, State Preemption, Reciprocity, and elimination of the PICS system. All of these are within our grasp.
Don’t forget to join us for the Make-A-Wish Fundraiser Trap Shoot this Saturday, April 23rd. All proceeds will benefit Make-A-Wish Children at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Click here for more information.
NSSA invites everyone to join us at the trap field on Saturday April 23 for a charity event to benefit Make a Wish. Proceeds from this event will be utilized to find the wish of a child from the local area. Please do join us to support this wonderful cause.

On Saturday, May 9th, Wounded Heroes Hunting Camp held their 4th Annual Trap Shoot for Heroes. WHHC is a non-profit, 100% volunteer organization that provides hunting trips as a healing experience for wounded veterans.
Not only does the Trap Shoot for Heroes event help to raise money each year to make these hunting trips possible, it provides the wounded veterans with an opportunity to get out on the trap range and have a little fun themselves. This year’s event drew in 90+ shooters, both novice and experienced, with 9 of the shooters being NSSA “regulars”. Trophies were given out for Overall Champion, Female Champion, and Team Champions. Congrats to the following people!
Overall Champion: Bob Szoszorek- 49/50
Female Champion: Emily Noftz- 49/50
Team Champions: Kelly Simmons, Frank Sommer, Dan Thomson, Bob Szoszorek & Paul Szoszorek
Special thanks to Jeff Kelly, Ron Halli, and all of the other NSSA volunteers that made this event run smoothly and of course to all of the veterans in attendance for their service to our country. God Bless! We are proud to hold this event at NSSA and are already looking forward to next year.

All ranges are closed today for a club fundraising event.
Dave Young and Glen Beattie along with the NSSA organization would like to extend their sincere thanks to volunteers, patrons and staff who supported NSSA’s annual Fish Fry.
It has been a record year that exceeded expectations!
Did you know that 51% of the US population are women between the ages of 11 and 80 and males between the ages of 11 and 18? Women and children make up half of the population; yet only 25% of the current Amateur Trapshooting Association membership falls under these same categories. For every one lady or young member there are still an average of three adult males.
Similar statistics hold true at NSSA, where we have 80+ shooters participating in our Spring Trap League, 8 of them being women or youth shooters. Therefore, NSSA has decided that we would like to make more of an effort to get women and children interested in shotgun sports. After all, children are the future of our sport and if we don’t get them involved now it will likely cease to exist in the future.
NSSA is selling $10 tickets for a gun raffle that will be based on the first drawing of the Pennsylvania Daily Lottery Pick 3 Game at 7:00pm on the following dates:
The guns were supplied by Dawson Enterprises and the proceeds from the ticket sales will benefit women and youth shooters at NSSA. This includes the potential purchase of women and youth friendly shotguns, and the hosting of events to introduce women and children to shotgun sports with a focus on gun safety.
Tickets are available at NSSA’s Fish Fries, at General Membership Meetings, and also on Thursdays from 4pm-8pm in the club’s office. Ask for Dave Young, Emily Noftz or Wayne Noftz. It would also be a great show of support to women/youth shooters and to NSSA if members would be willing to sell a pack of 10 tickets for the club. Any unsold tickets can always be returned to us.
If you have any questions or are willing to sell tickets for NSSA, please respond to this email or contact one of the people mentioned above.
Thanks in advance for your support!
