Spring 2026 Trap League Starts Mar 12th

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 League starts Thursday, March 12th, 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

Make Ready!

Posted on by Posted in West Range

On behalf of the West Range Committee, we want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who joined us on February 21st for our Make Ready event. Your enthusiasm and participation made the day an absolute success!

Whether you were taking your first steps into dynamic shooting or just brushing up on the fundamentals, it was fantastic to see everyone so engaged. During the event, participants had the opportunity to dive into:

  • Safety Protocols & Best Practices: Ensuring everyone stays safe and responsible while having a great time on the range.
  • Range Commands: Reviewing the standard commands so everyone knows exactly what to expect and how to respond.
  • Event Registration: Walking through the process of how to seamlessly sign up for competitive, dynamic-style events.
  • Live Stage: Getting out there and testing out those skills firsthand on a real event stage!

The West Range Committee had a ton of fun putting this event together, and we certainly hope our participants had just as much fun attending. We are already looking forward to seeing you all put these skills to use at our upcoming local matches.

To capture the energy of the day, we’ve put together a brief highlight reel. Check out the video below to see everyone in action!

Thank you again for your incredible support, and we will see you out on the range!

Better Late Than Never: Join Us for the “A Little Late New Year’s Shoot”! Feb 7 2026

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

We know what you’re thinking: “New Year’s was weeks ago!” And you’re right. We originally planned to ring in 2026 with a bang on January 1st, but Mother Nature had other plans. Between the biting wind and temperatures cold enough to freeze the whiskers off a brass monkey, we decided that shivering uncontrollably isn’t exactly the best foundation for a steady aim. We figured you’d prefer to keep all your fingers and toes rather than leave them on the range as a frosty New Year’s sacrifice!It is still plenty cold here in Pittsburgh, so we aren’t bold enough to say the frost has settled just yet—but we are certainly hoping for a bit more cooperation from the heavens by the time the event rolls around!
