Local Scout Troop pursues Merit Badge
In keeping with NSSA’s commitment to provide opportunities for youth to explore Sportsmen activities, NSSA has made its indoor archery range and equipment available to a local scout troop so they may pursue earning an Archery Merit badge.
This relationship was conceived by fellow NSSA Members Julie Yacoviello (Scoutmaster) and Jeff Knauss(Eagle Scout and Merit Badge counselor).
Julie and Jeff approached Archery Chairmen Tom Martinelli and Art Klajnowski with the idea and a plan was quickly put into action. Tom and Art are also providing support to the Troops while they are at the club working on their merit badge.
NSSA Indoor Archery CLOSED Tuesday evening (1/5/2021)
Deer Season Range Closures and Member Meeting Schedule change
Youth Archery resuming 9/27
NSSA Youth Archery will resume on Sunday, Sept 27th 2020. In order to maintain social distancing, we have divided the group into 2 sessions: 10am-12noon, and 1pm-3pm. CDC guidelines will be followed; All equipment will be sanitized in between sessions and masks will be required at all times except while on the firing line.
When archers are on the firing line, masks may be removed as it is a potential safety issue and interferes with proper anchoring. Archers on the firing line will be positioned at every other target to ensure they are a safe distance from one another.
Limited spots are available in the 1pm-3pm session only. If interested, email youtharchery@northsidesportsmen.com
Please include the following in your email:
- bow type (Combound/Recurve)
- If you have your own equipment, or will use a bow provided by the club.

remain closed all day Saturday November 30. - Rifle, Pistol, and the West Range will remain closed until Sunday December 8.
- Trap and Skeet will be open Sunday December 1 during regular hours, will be closed Monday December 2 thru Saturday December 7, and reopen Sunday December 8. In addition, Trap and Skeet will be open their regular evening hours after 5 PM (4 PM if there are no hunters signed into the Hunting Sign In Book).
- Outdoor Archery will be closed from Saturday November 30 until Sunday December 8, except that it will be open Sunday December 1. There will be no closures of the indoor Archery Range.
Please understand that there is to be NO shooting of firearms during the range closures anywhere on NSSA property except in legal hunting.
