2022 Sight-in Days
Saturday Nov 19 / Sunday Nov 20
8 AM until 4 PM
At the rifle range
325 Mt Pleasant Road
Warrendale, PA  15086

Sight in your old or new hunting rifle, muzzleloader, or slug gun for the coming hunting season.  This event is open to the public, FREE for NSSA members, $2/firearm for non-members.  You supply firearms and ammo, we supply the targets, at 100 yards.  We will supply target spotting if you don’t have a scope, and advice and help if you need it.  Sandbags will also be available, and a limited supply of ear and eye protection on loan.

The range will be open to members for general shooting at no charge (Guests $2).  Please note that access to targets may be limited at times due to the need to service sight-in targets.

Sight-in days will only be cancelled due to inclement weather, particularly cold below 25F.  If so, a notice will be sent out.  The range will then remain open to members.

Fall 2022 Trap Season begins Sept 1

Posted on by Posted in Events, Ranges, Shoots, Trap, Trap League

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, September 1st, with a 50 bird pre-season warm up shoot.

This shoot is a great opportunity for shooters to dust off their guns and get back out on the range. Following the warm-up 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 3:30pm-8:30pm each Thursday and it costs $12 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 during this 12-week league 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.
