West Range Night Shoot
Extending a huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our first-ever NSSA Night Shoot! Your enthusiasm and participation made this maiden voyage a success, and we’re excited about the possibility of offering more in the future. A shout out to those who came up to observe and chat with a group.
A special shoutout to Send Nods for coming out and providing members with the opportunity to try different devices and offering rentals—your support truly enhanced the experience.
Big thanks also go to Nick and Hutch for traveling up to help RO the event and set up the courses.
The moving and shooting stages gave members a chance to put their gear to the test after dark, and the addition of the new V-Tac Barrier—generously donated by one of our members—was a major hit!
Look for more as we move through the year!

Spring 2025 Trap League Starts March 6
Every Fall and Spring NSSA hosts a 12-week trap league that takes place on Thursday Nights. Shooters are divided into 5 teams which compete against each other for shells, prizes, and most importantly, bragging rights at the end of the 12-weeks.
Our Fall League starts Thursday, March 6th, with a 50 bird pre-season shoot. This shoot is a great opportunity for shooters to dust off their guns and get back out on the range. Following the 50 bird shoot, shooters will be divided into the 5 even teams based on their score and known ability, and these are the teams they will shoot 50 birds each week for throughout the rest of the season.
Sign-up times are 4pm-8pm each Thursday and it costs $14 per week to shoot the league. This cost not only covers the targets each week but also the prizes and the end of the league banquet dinner that we have at the club.
Everyone is welcome, including non members, so we hope to see you out there! Please be advised that shooters are not required to participate in the league and can opt to shoot practice instead, however league squads will have preference over trap availability.
Thanks,
Rick Jackson and Charlie Lozinger
