Rifle Range Golf Cart Orientation Session & Range Closure
The Rifle Range will hold a golf cart orientation session for members who are not currently approved this Saturday August 31, starting at 9 am, at the range. Sessions will continue at least until 11 am, so please do not come all at 9. We may go longer if there is interest.
The rifle range will be closed during this event. The pistol range will remain open.
There will be a discussion of the rules, signing of an agreement to follow the rules, a short driving session, and then having access to the shed lock added to your NSSA access card. So if you forget your card, you won’t get access.
For more information, email Stan Hoover, Rifle Range Chairman
Great interest in Intro to Trap
NSSA welcomes and encourages everyone to participate in our sport. It is of particular interest to promote involvement by women and youth. We have recently offered Trap introduction sessions to inspire their participation.
Kevin Bernauer and Butch Novak among others in the Trap committee have done a tremendous job coordinating these events and providing instruction to new recruits. We hope to see them joining us more regularly!

Youth Archers take on 3-D!
We added a new twist to today’s fun activity for our Youth Archers by offering the opportunity to practice with 3-D targets. They quickly realized the challenges they face when aiming at targets which are at different distances and angles. Everyone in attendance had a great time!
Trap League Starts March 7th
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 Spring League starts Thursday, March 7th, 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,
Ron Halli
