Battle of the Bulge Event

Posted on by Posted in CMP

On December 14th NSSA hosted a rifle match to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge.

True to weather conditions experienced at the startimage001 of the actual battle, we had solid heavy overcast and drizzle. (But unlike the Ardennes on December 16, 1944, we had no fog.)

Nine shooters participated in this just-for-fun event. It consisted of 16 slow-fire rounds from a bolt action rifle followed by 24 rapid-fire rounds from an M1 Garand.

Two of the participants (Mike Podolec and Jim Wojcienowski) dressed in period-correct field combat uniforms, which added to the atmosphere of the
event …

As a reminder, the 2015 CMP planning meeting is January 19 @ 7 PM in the clubhouse.  You do not need to have participated in any CMP events to go to the meeting, and the meeting is open to all club members.

Meat Shoot Changes

Posted on by Posted in Shoots

Effective at the next Meat Shoot, which is on Sunday November 2nd, the cost per shooter per round will be $5. We have made this change due to
the rising cost of meat as well as other shoot management costs. Also,
please note that shooters will continue to be able to shoot their own
STANDARD TRAP AMMUNITION for the ten rounds of shooting, but they will be PROVIDED ammunition from the club to shoot in the shoot offs. We feel it’s necessary to make this change in order to even the playing field during the shoot offs. An updated flyer has been posted at NSSA on the office window as well as online. Please note that trap practice and trap league prices will not be affected.
