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.
