To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the World War I Armistice, the Rifle Range will host an Armistice Day Shoot on TBD The course of fire is 20 rounds in 3 minutes from any period bolt action rifle (open sights only), at 200 yards. Targets will be full size torso targets. The firing for score will be preceded by up to 5 sighters. To make it interesting, we will fire from the backstop behind the 100 yard targets, simulating at least half of a trench. Cost is $10, sign in starts at 8:30 AM, and the shoot will start at 9 AM. Wear old clothes or WWI uniforms if you have them. We will hold the shoot unless there is pouring rain.

Members and the public are invited. This is purely a fun shoot. If you have any questions, contact Stan Hoover at rifle@northsidesportsmen.com

Fall Trap League starts Sept 6th

Posted on by Posted in 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 6th, with a 100 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 100 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 $10 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.
 
Thanks,
